I am on like my 5th straight pair that I have the same problem.

What is happening to you is called 'pronation', it is when the arch in your foot in not working properly and allowing the outside of your foot to press on the outside of your shoe. It become more noticeable the longer you are on your feet ie after a 4 hour round of golf.
There is a product called "Superfeet" that they make a cheaper version of custom inserts. They are great. The common misconception is that are an arch support. They are not. What they do is support the bone behind your arch not allowing your foot to move. I have them in all of my sporting gear and I am going to pick up some for my golf shoes at some point but I haven't gotten around to it.
Here is the website, there are some good visuals there.
