Arch support : Not sure what regs a device may need to pass to get there but there are many good otc brands of orthotics. Some that i recommend to my patients include: powerstep, sole, spenco; but there are a number of other great brands out there. It's difficult to know just which will help but it is a good place to start. *i have no financial interest in any of these companies.
