You will not require special shoes to use your customised orthotics, but appropriate shoes should offer these key supportive features:
A removable footbed (which should be replaced by the orthotic insole)
A wide stable base of support
Be firm in the middle and not twist easily
The material should not be too soft
A deep toe box
It is recommended to have one pair of properly-fitted supportive shoes that you can wear constantly with your tailored orthotics, regardless of occasion. Some patients purchase several orthotics and have them tailored for specific uses and footwear.
