My 8 year old daughter wore them to her wedding. We bought another pair which she liked because they healed a bit and were a bit fancy but said they were uncomfortable. I got them because I knew the ones I chose would be uncomfortable. She put them on after the wedding and didn't take them off until late at night. She said they are very comfortable and soft on the inside. I can't answer the question about the arch support as I haven't worn it myself and an 8 year old won't give you that much information. These shoes are really cute and I'm so glad I bought them.
