Shoes for super high arches, need suggestions...

So, my shoes broke.
I have to say, this is the first time I've actually "broken" my shoes.
The "stability bar" on the outside of my right shoe literally broke.
I think it was from pounding the streets.
I'm not that big and I walk at a high incline on a treadmill rather than running. About 15 miles a week, minimum.
These have about 250 miles on them, so they needed to be replaced anyway.
I have really high arches, so finding athletic shoes that are comfortable and don't slide off my feet is really difficult.
I've had some luck with Adidas Supernova Classic (discontinued), Ryka KM5 (newer generations sucked) and these Nike Pegasus (the ones that broke).
I wonder if anyone else has had a similar issue?
It seems like the entire world, or maybe just most of it, pronates (ankles rolling inward).
I actually shredded my peroneal tendon about six years ago from supinating (ankles rolling outward).
I'm going to try to go to our local Dick's Sporting Goods where the selection is more diverse and I'm looking at Mizuno Wave something or other 11 and the Elixer 3.
Any thoughts from other really high archers?
