Used custom insoles for 25 of my 33 years... very worth while. Mine aren't made by PT people, but rather the same guys to who make artificial legs, etc. Warm/soft foam is used to mold the feet while they are in the proper position (I have terrible pronation - feet point a little out when "at rest") and the the mold is built up on the underside to conform to a "normal" shoe. Hard part is finding shoes with easily removeable insoles (Hi-Tek boots are good, as are Rockport walkers) but it is nice being able to put on a brand new pair of shoes and have them feel as if they are already broken in.

May be worth while to you - but if it is really a problem, see a podiatrist and get a MD opinion.
