Interestingly enough, the best way to *not* damage your feet is to
walk with no support at all - ideally, barefoot.  If you support the
foot too much, the small muscles that keep the arch arched will
atrophy.

There have been many studies that show that people who live in
cultures where going barefoot is normal have much healthier feet.
