         8 . The liner according to  claim 1  wherein the lawyer of moisture absorbing material further comprises additional material to cushion the ball and heal of a foot resting thereon.  
     
     
         9 . A liner for placement upon an upper surface of a footbed of an article of footwear to absorb and dissipate moisture, comprising: 
 an upper layer of moisture absorbing material;    a lower layer providing cushioning and support;    the upper layer and lower layer shaped so that they extend across substantially the entire upper surface of the footbed when placed thereon; and    an adhesive for removably adhering the bottom surface of the upper layer to the lower layer.    
     
     
         10 . The liner according to  claim 9  wherein the lower layer comprises a gel material.  
     
     
         11 . The liner according to  claim 9  wherein the lower layer comprises a moisture absorbing material.  
     
     
         12 . The liner according to  claim 9  wherein the layer of moisture absorbing material comprises felt.  
     
     
         13 . The liner according to  claim 9  wherein the layer of moisture absorbing material comprises an open-cell foam material.  
     
     
         14 . The liner according to  claim 9  wherein the layer of moisture absorbing material comprises suede.  
     
     
         15 . The liner according to  claim 9  wherein the lawyer of moisture absorbing material further comprises additional material to cushion the ball and heal of a foot resting thereon.  
     
     
         16 . A liner for placement upon an upper surface of a footwear orthotic to absorb and dissipate moisture, comprising: 
 a layer of moisture absorbing material having a top and a bottom surface;    the layer of moisture absorbing material extending across substantially the entire upper surface of the footbed when placed thereon;    an adhesive removably adhering the bottom surface of the layer of moisture absorbing material to the upper surface of the footwear orthotic; and    the adhesive covering substantially the entire bottom surface of the layer of moisture absorbing material.
