Merrell Women's Moab Flight Hiking Shoes - Lightweight Waterproof Trail Running & Outdoor Walking Shoes for Women - Perfect for Hiking, Camping, and Adventure Travel

I am an avid exercise walker (on sidewalks/roads) for about 8 months of the year and need good arch support (think like Birkenstocks) with a soft but supportive insole. Decided on more of a trail walker shoe, because I do occasionally walk on trails and wanted a bottom sole that works well with uneven terrain. My Merrell Moab 2's, bought many years ago, are kind of heavy and have always had an uncomfortably hard insole, even on minimal length trails. I don't like added things in my shoes, like comfort inserts.Tried the Moab Flight and so far they are quite decent, but have not walked more than half a mile at a time in them. The real test is my usual 3-4 miles (though I know by 1.5-2 miles), several times per week walks, when the weather is a bit warmer (hopefully soon!). The left is a bit tight, but that's because my left foot is bigger (happens in most shoes), but it also does seem to accommodate my various ankle supports I wear when distance walking, due to a severe sprain 2 years ago.Previously I wore Asics Gel Nimbus, but last one I could wear was the 18, because they changed the shoe width to way too narrow for my feet on subsequent models and the wides didn't fit right.Then tried Hoka One One Rincon 2 which was the PERFECT shoe. When those wore out and that model was now a 3, they had changed their sole and seemingly put it in a much higher priced model. The insole was now literally painfully hard. Took me two pairs to figure out the problem. I didn't need an almost $200 shoe just to walk a few evenings for a few miles after work, so I didn't try their other models that does have that insole. I got the Mach 4 instead (at a bit of a higher price) and it's just ok. It served it's purpose, but now I need a new shoe, so I'm trying Merrell.I'll update this when I walk more in them.
