This is particularly useful for high heels and other shoes that feature an incline. If your shoe is too loose, wearing a thicker pair of socks (or multiple socks) can help fill out the gap. A variety of socks are available tailored for comfort as well, and can substitute for some insole inserts (or pair well with them).  Sporting goods stores offer a variety of socks for different activities, with different padding depending on the activity.  Orthopedic socks can be found at your local pharmacy. Tell your doctor about your needs and see if they can refer you to a specific brand that can help solve your comfort issues.
