Non-permanent insole glue?

I notice that original insoles in my Sidi shoes tend to gradually slide backwards during long rides. This creates an unpleasant and annoying "ridge" (front edge of the insole) under my toes in front of the shoe.

Under assumption that this is caused by the fact that my original insoles are getting old/shrinking/losing shape, I bought a new pair of Sidi insoles. The new ones fare much better (and I bought size 46 insoles for 45.5 shoes), but even the new ones have already began to exhibit the same behavior.

To alleviate this issue I used a relatively small amount of Shoe Goo to glue the insoles in place. It works, but Shoe Goo is more of a permanent adhesive. Meanwhile, I notice that Nike, Adidas and other brands use some kind of non-permanent adhesive in their running shoes. Their insoles are fairly easily removable, but still are prevented from sliding back and forth by the adhesive.

Does anyone know what kind of adhesive they are using? Is it available for sale? In spray form, perhaps?
