[Tex/LaTex] Changing footnote marker position

footmiscfootnotes

I am using \footmisc to customize footnotes, but I just can't get the footnote marker where I want it to be(the one that appears at the bottom of the page; not the one in the text, to which I don't want to make any changes).

Let's say the default is:

____________
   1. Footnote text

What I would like to achieve is something of this sort (notice the space before and after the marker):

____________
  1.     Footnote text

But I can only get:

____________
1.     Footnote text

Basically, I can't/don't know how to set space before the footnote marker. The only thing I can indent is the footnote text itself.

Example of what I currently have (played around with other options, but so far this is the closest I've gotten):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
\setlength{\footnotemargin}{0.5in}
\renewcommand{\hangfootparindent}{0.195in}
\renewcommand{\hangfootparskip}{0\baselineskip}
\begin{document}
Something.\footnote{Here is a footnote.} Something else.\footnote{Lorem ipsum dolor sitamet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi risus lacus, suscipit vehicula ullamcorper a, tempus consectetur felis.

I set up this indentation for subsequent paragraphs (I'm happy with it.)}
\end{document}

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use the scrextend package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrextend}
\deffootnote[.5in]{.5in}{.195in}{\makebox[.5in][r]{\thefootnotemark.\hspace{.2in}}}

\begin{document}

Something.\footnote{Here is a footnote.} Something else.\footnote{Lorem ipsum dolor
sitamet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi risus lacus, suscipit vehicula ullamcorper a,
tempus consectetur felis.

I set up this indentation for subsequent paragraphs (I'm happy with it.)}
\end{document}

It should be clear on what dimensions you have to act for make this suit your taste.
