Trevor,
Not sure if you ever tried or not ... But the cheap ones do not do this to you.
The best of the cheap ones are the from Cobian. I just went back to them and Locals after trying out the Nike and Adidas over the summer. The Locals and Surfahs are easier to replace one the way home from a blowout though.
The Scotts probably look tempting to folks since they have a molded in arch but its not positioned well + the straps are too long so they fall off your feet and only get worse as the sole compresses and the straps stretch.
I know they are hard @ first but seriously, like a 'good' pair of shoes, the Locals ones really do break in and work nice. Buy them a little small as the sole get bigger as it forms to your foot.
aloha,
pog
