Clipless shoes/pedals with foot alignment

I've been riding several weeks now and am getting into longer (for me) distances. My right knee is reminding me I'm no longer in my twenties. I wear orthotics; my right foot pronates (?) out about five more degrees than my left. I've been trying to compensate but the heel of the Merrill shoes I wear is too wide and impinges on the crank. I suspect my foot is just far enough out to be causing the imbalance.

For this reason I'm considering going clipless. From the literature I can't see if you can set in a specific angle in the clipless shoes/pedals? As my avatar ares shows I own a hybrid and don't expect to go over 20 miles a day. Would anyone know whether a particular brand/model of clipless pedals offers a rotatable mounting? Any suggested brand/model of shoes or pedals for a fairly active, but not competitive biker?

Thanks, Rich
