I am pretty sure that I know what kind of inserts the OP has. Or at least, a vague idea. I have a two pairs; one for sports and one for dress. They are NOT cheap. Mine were $200 five years ago.
They are too bulky for flats. I have them in my ski boots. I had to cut an inch off the end to get them to fit in my ski boots. I also put them in my tennis shoes in summer months.
I had a separate pair made for dress for shoes. They go just past the arch and narrower for dress shoes.
I could see creating your own shoes as a conversation piece, if done right. Girls might say "Oh cute shoes!" and you could say "I made them myself..."
Depending on which Texas school, cowboy boots with a dress may be perfectly appropriate during recruitment.
I had to wear an orthotic in my shoes through most of college and got fairly creative with footwear. I found some flats/low heel shoes that let me hide the insert (mary janes were my go to).

You are correct, they were not cheap and I got the smallest ones the man could make for me. I'm worried that combat boots or booties might look strange in the East Texas in the middle of the summer. I'm going to go shopping on Monday and hopefully I can find something. I'm halfway tempted just to wear a boot on the bad foot with a cute shoe on the good foot

I'd find someone to ask about cowboy boots, because I know that I've seen lots of girls in sundresses and cowboy boots in Texas.
You might be able to make booties work with a pref dress.
