Skeetchers Go Walks.  Sorry can't answer anything about arch support as I do not have feet issues.

 

Personally, I would walk into a shoe store & try on many "walking" sneakers.  Walk, skip & jump around the store if you have too.  Only you can decided which shoe is comfortable since you need a little arch support.

I think the worst thing you can do is buy new shoes for a vacation. Take your most tried and true walking shoes with you. Then enjoy shopping for something new in Italy.

New Balance sneakers work best for me. I have flat feet, and my foot is well supported.

I second Merrills, also Keens are sturdy and comfortable.  I agree with the poster who suggested trying on quite a few pairs then break them in before your trip.  If you have an REI near you I highly recommended trying on there.  As an outdoor supplier they have better quality products and great knowledable staff.

Nike Air Max.  Supportive and comfortable for long walks.

Sanita clogs or Merrell work for me.
