Best for high arches?
Hi, I have very high arches and am looking for a running shoe to wear all day. Can anyone offer a NB model to suit very high arches? I usually use 574s with orthotics insoles but it’s not satisfactory for all day comfort

I work at an NB outlet and the shoe we always recommend for arch support is the 860. I have a pair of 860V11's that I wear at work and they're great, keeps my feet from pronating and they're super comfortable. First day or two they might kill your feet but once they break in they're incredible.
860s are typically better for low to flat arches because they help with pronation. Typically with high arches you tend to supinate, and the 860s will make it worse.
Oh true, good call. Maybe a neutral runner like a 1080 or 880 would be good. If it's bad enough then a 1540 would work.
