Best shoes for casual walking/everyday stuff

    Hi,
    I have fallen arches, more so one foot than the other. I used to wear echos, and with an off the shelf insole i never had much issues.
    A few years ago i switched to using northface/meindl/berghauss/etc.. type walking shoes.
    I found these so comfy and great for when you needed to walk off the path, but they never last, a bit over a year at most. Also i am starting to notice my foot pronating alot more than when the shoes were new. After a year, my arche is starting to hurt a little.

    I walk every day approx 40min into town on concrete foot paths. Maybe once every two weeks need some very light off concrete walking.

    My question: Should i go for echo? or another northface/meindl type shoe? Which is best suited for my needs, or perhaps get both?
    I tried "foot solutions" but honestly €500 ish for shoes+custom insoles, that will need to be replaced in a year, is just too expensive.

    If it's just that you are getting holes in your soles then like at shoe goo. I haven't tried it myself yet but it looks great.
