I didn't see one mention of little arch support in other reviews so I went ahead with the purchase. Maybe I just have extremely high arches. I run 6 days a week, and I'd say these are average shoes. I'll probably need to get arch support if I want to keep wearing them. I tend to run in the 20-30 mile per week range and so far these seem to be holding up. I've only put about 120 miles on them so far. I usually get new shoes every 4-6 months, so I don't think I'll get these again, unless I invest in some good orthodics.
