Thanks y’all, I appreciate the consideration and sharing of your experiences.
@Yrocket: Could you post a pic of your insert or share how you figured where to cut the insole? I have tried that approach, cutting a notch out of the insole, but i might have cut too wide or in the wrong place. It seems to me that it would work. When i tried it i took the sole out of the shoe, and stood on it to try and pinpoint the location to cut out.
I also tried to use duct tape and a metatarsal pad to create a slide on attachment to my foot. This actually worked fairly well but put a lot of pressure on the strap in between the toes.
