I used to get the same feeling on the balls of my feet. I solved it with the Specialized insoles, the high arch version.
Which height of the specialized insoles do you have? Have you tried a more supportive size?
Also, have you tried another brand? Something that might fit your foot better? Custom insoles aren't a bad idea, but I'd try a couple off the shelf insoles before I went that way.
IMHO, it's not a padding issue, it's a foot/arch support issue.
