When I got my orthotics (about 9 years ago), my doctor told me to 
look for shoes with the curved last on the bottom.  At the time,
the Nike Pegasus (Air) was the only shoe (in my price range) that 
had this.  Since then I haven't worried about this too much.  I do
usually look for shoes with the removeable insert, but I see that 
someone suggested just cutting out the insert under the pedstal of the 
orthotic.  I'll have to try that...
