It's expensive, but Laura and I use a custom boot/shoe maker who also makes orthodics. He's the Randy Merrell that Merrell shoes is named after. The shoes are very costly but the orthodics are fairly reasonable given the time he spends on gait analysis as well as molding the orthodic. He also seems to be unusual, at least for this area, in that he spends time to figure out how your foot needs to be loaded to correct your gait rather than just correcting for simple pronatio/supination.
