You can get them at Footlocker stores, and they're not gel inserts so you can trim them to fit your shoes.
But I do agree with snowy that you should look into a bit of training, prevention is 1000 times better than cure (although there's less money to be made ;P).

You also recieve a big "Thumbs Up" from an army guy who has walked a fair distance in boots. Sorbothane insoles saved my feet, ankles, knees, hips and back. They were 40 bucks when I bought them back in '95...
Go to a running store and make sure you are wearing the proper footwear, not some off-the-shelf Walmart running shoe. Money spent on proper equipment is never wasted.
