Had a look in AG today and most of the shoes on display had very little arch support, only the Ecco and one of the Footjoys.
The Eccos were on sale at £99 so unless there are other suggestions I might go with these.

You can easily spend north of £200 on a decent pair of golf shoes, so if they fit and are comfy, go for it , £99 is decent for Ecco.

Alternatively you can buy arch supports which fit inside your shoes

Presume you suffer from plantar fasciitis?

Just looked on line and the Ecco shoes (sprint) are soft spike, I'm sure they were spikeless, will need to go and have another look ?

I suffer badly with plantar fasciitis. It’s chronic and really, really painful.

I hobble like an old drunk tramp the morning after a round.

I recently bought some arch fit Sketchers and they Are comfy as anything.

Defo better than normal golf shoes.

That said. I am going to get custom insoles built for all my shoes. Archfit alone will not help me out completely unfortunately.

Arch support is normally by virtue of the moulding of the insole, isn't it?
You could pull out the new insoles and pop the insoles from your current favourite golf shoes into the new pair.
I have the opposite preference and have removed the moulded insoles from a couple of my pairs and just pop a pair of flat Puma ones into whichever shoes I'm wearing.

I used to rip out the insoles and put in specialist ones.

I miss Hi Tech as their shoes had really good support and I did not need to do it to them.
