It's probably a case of the crappy insoles that come in most skates. A pair of superfeet yellow insoles might work out really well, I know a whole bunch of people that use them specifically for arch pain (me included). They'll give you good arch support and also help to neutrally align your body so your skating posture is a little better. I think they're like $40 at most sports stores.

edit: Also, just if it didn't come across as such, arch issues usually aren't specifically skate related. As long as you're not getting pressure points and such then you'll want to be looking at insoles. If the superfeet don't work a custom made one is your next best bet, both options probably being cheaper than new skates.
