I always pull out the factory insoles and use Spenco's.  You usually have to 
trim them to fit, but I'll use the factory insoles to trace a line then cut 
them with a good pair of scissors.  I like the cushiony feel and haven't had any 
problems with the shoes not fitting.

YMMV, but they're cheap enough and worth a try,
