There are suppliers on this board, but it might be unethical for me to recommend one over another. And where you order them has a great deal to do with where you live.
I've had exactly the same problem with paper inserts. What were those guys thinking? Eventually, you step in a puddle, or it rains and you walk in wet grass. When the sole came off, I thought, "Well, I'll just take the inner sole out and put the uppers on a new sole, but the upper didn't go all the way across, so I ended up throwing them away.
If you make a pair, you can conceal one of those soft plastic grids between the inner and mid sole. That takes up a little of the impact of the foot against the ground. And if you add a pair of socks (udones of one kind or another) you can put an arch-supporting insole inside that, and your feet will thank you for it. Modern feet are not always ready to go without pad and heel structures in shoes, not for very long.
So I cheat. Dr. Scholl is my friend.
