    The arch inserts they sell in stores are worthless. The only good ones are sold by foot doctors. They cost quite a bit but they are comfortable and have a very hard base to really support your arch. get they full length insert, it offers much more support then the half ones. My mother works for a foot doctor and I have very flat feet so this is what I have learned.

    I also suffered from ankle pain... still do, but it's a lot better.

    I do some of the exercises on this video:

    It's meant for basket ball players, but it really helps.

    I'm not a shoe expert, so can't recommend you anything, but that video will help you to make your ankles stronger.

    There's a lot of exercises on it, so it can take some time... so, I just picked out the ones that is the most comfortable... and I do them every morning.

    Good Luck
