I am a varsity & sub-varsity official as well as a high school distance track coach.
Due to a flexible schedule I often ref 6 nights/week, and I also run 10 or more miles per week & would recommend as follows:

1.Go to a Podiatrist with lots of sports experience & get a set of orthotics made. They will custom fit *your* arches better than any store bought insert or shoe can. You may have to tear the 'guts' out of the inside of your shoe so as not to over stretch your arch, but this will make the shoe you use much less important.
2.Don't ignore any foot pain. When it starts alternate ice & heat on the sore spot, 3 times, 10 minutes each.
3.Ibuprofen seems to work the best for me to take the 'edge' off when my foot acts up. I have a sensitive stomach and have never had problems that way.
