I've worn orthotics as long as you've gone without them!  I was a bit
scepticle when the podiatrist said I needed them (no insurance for
them), but about 20 minutes after I got them, it was like someone had
laid hands on me!

I had terrible corns and blisters on my calluses on my blisters and
pronated like a duck.  The blisters went away completely, hte
calluses modified and I've been without pain (well almost, but that's
another story) ever since.

I was wearing Nikes, but did switch to New Balance because they are
wider and fit better.  But before I landed there, I went through
several other types of shoes and they all accepted my orthotics with
no problem.  I pull out the rubber insert, put in the orthotics and
then replace the insert.

About the only problem I had with orthotics is that it took a bit of
time getting used to the stiffness of them and they are hard and
offer no cushioning at all.

Good luck.
