You could try looking for shoes with removable insoles, assuming the shaping is part of the insole and not the shoe below that. Then if needed you could put in flat Dr Scholl's.

I'm sure you could get anything you want on the internet but they may cost too much.

yeah.. I can't really afford an expensive shoe.  I'm trying to break in shoes that I bought last week, but I'm not having much luck with them.  I'm tempted to put a knife in the shoe and cut out the rise.  It's right under the ball of the foot, which I think is an odd spot
