the spirit was willing but the knees and arches were week.

You speak of arch pain. What part of the foot are you placing on the pedal? It should be the ball of your foot. I see a lot of riders using tennies or running shoes put the arch of their foot on the pedal.

If this is what you have been doing, change to the ball of your foot plus you may have to raise your saddle a bit since this effectively lengthens your leg (saddle to pedal distance).

The Berry is not necessarily for narrow feet. It is more for women's feet, but Superfeet has learned that narrow-footed men are not willing to buy "women's" insoles. The Orange is the "men's" or "wide" version of the same insole, with a slightly less agressive arch/met support. (men don't have as curvaceous feet as women, on the whole)

If you are worried that your feet are too wide for the Berry, try the Orange. If neither of those feels fabulous, try the other kinds of Superfeet until you find one you like. (don't worry about the color or category, worry about how they FEEL!)
