I've also got orthopedic soles to help out my feet (went to a specialist hospital clinic and everything) with insoles, and DAMN do they work. Like i said before, i have flat feet, so they made up some soles which are all contoured and adjusted.
I used to get hip and knee pain all the time, i'd have to sit down when walking around because of it, but now it's a hell of alot better.
Despite the fact that sounded disturbingly like an infomercial, they're definatly worth considering, just make sure you go to a specialist place instead of a shop. The sole you'll get will be 10x better.
