agree - and the arch can not only get ‘tired’ - the plantar fascia could be stressed if not damaged
I have issues with plantar fascia on both feet - soft / very flexible shoes are an issue for anything other than a short / easy ride
BITD when I did a lot of road riding … faster with a lot of climbing I used carbon soled shoes … without a doubt the best apparel / equipment upgrade I made
