If you want to experiment a bit, try some moldable putty that stays soft and pliable. Blu Tack gum, Scotch removable mounting putty and others may work for building up an arch support for each foot. It might be more comfortable under a thin cushioned insole.
These putties are really handy. Among other uses, I'm currently using both Blu Tack and Scotch putty on my helmets to hold the mounting shoes for my Drift Ghost X video camera. The original adhesive for the mounting shoes was intended for use on motorcycle helmets and didn't put the camera where I wanted on my bicycle helmets. I wanted to mount them as far back as possible to avoid neck strain (old C1-C2 injury). This required building up the putty to put the shoe at the desired angle. I intended this to be a temporary fix but I've been using it for a couple of months without problems -- hot and cold weather, light rain. It can still be remolded if needed or to restore the preferred angle so the camera records where I'm looking.
