Many: There are many types of insoles that may help, but you need to make sure they are supporting the foot and just padding the foot. If persisits, see your podiatrist.

Otc arch support: May consider a good over the counter insert i.e. Superfeet. In people with "normal" foot mechanics, these have been shown to be just as effective as custom inserts for a lot less $. A cushioned heel cup may also help.
