The underlying issue here is cushioned and/or supportive shoes weaken our feet and make them dumber. The solution is growing a stronger foot through no cushioning and no support. All a stiffer shoe accomplishes is keeping your foot unnecessarily weak. I ride in ZemGear shoes and love them. No cushion, very flexible. Just be sure to give your feet time to adjust and strengthen.
If you go with a stiffer sole, it will work in the short term, your feet will weaken further, and you will "need" more support in your shoes. Stop the madness, chuck the cushion and support! Grin.
