My experience suggests that IF you NEED arch supports, then in your cycling shoes you will both need (and be able to tolerate) a firmer, higher arch than the one you can tolerate or need in a weight-bearing application (walking running, weight lifting, daily use). Superfeet insoles work well on lower arches in cycling shoes (green if space permits, or black if the shoe is volume limited) and they are cheapish ~ 30-35 quid. If your arches are higher then try to get G8 or eSoles, or get a fitter to heat mould a custom sole.
