Will shoe insoles help alleviate discomfort?

Some people like naboso.com. These are a barefoot style with a texture. There's another thread on here about shoes for neuropathy that talks a lot about the appeal of this style.
The doc for Naboso has for years endorsed orthofeet shoes and inserts, but more recently, has been selling her own unique inserts. Lots of videos and explanations, there and on youtube. Many people with neuropathy comment favorably.
EMG nerve and muscle tests are helpful also. I thought I had neuropathy and this test showed my nerves and muscles are fine; it's arthritis and bone issues related to genetic bunions. My foot ortho surgeon recommended I wear OTC footscientific.com insoles as they have a thin, comfortable cork bottom and ball of foot as well as heel cushioning, with arch support. He fitted me and he chose a style (flat foot because of a falling arch/TTD and a size (smaller)that is different from what I would have selected if I bought them online. Sigh. These in a HOKA Bondi 8 have helped my foot pain a lot.
Tricky isn't it, to figure out if you should be waking up your feet or calming them?
PS. My custom orthotics have been very painful and I have given up on them, even though that foot doc md podiatrist keeps remaking them and had me wearing them in stiff, motion control shoes. Wearing the others that the foot surgeon recommended in a wide cushioned neutral shoe and doing the foot PT he ordered has restored my feet to a state that at least allows me to walk.
I wear Birkenstock Arizona's most of the time. I got the soft insole and am surprised at how much my feet like them. They look so hard, but end up feeling soft and supportive. I occasionally wear Strive Riviera sandals (strive makes insoles also).
