Hi,
I just took up Ballroom Dancing. I have some issues with my feet. I have a history of Plantar Fascia and a neuroma (a thickening of the sheath around the nerve). Usually I wear a full, custom made orthotic, a pad and two pairs of padded socks, inside my sneaker. This enables me to walk miles and play tennis without any problems. Now, I am trying to figure out what shoe I should purchase that would possibly fit my orthotic and a pad. In addition, I am unable to wear heels. I can tolerate a shoe with a half inch or three quarter inch heel. I also can only wear a closed shoe. My normal shoe is a 10 narrow (very narrow, an AA). With my orthotic,pad and padded socks my sneaker size goes up to a 12 medium. I would be so very grateful if someone could assist me with this matter. I am also considering having a shoe maker put suede on the bottom of my sneakers, but I don't know if that would be adviseable for Ballroom Dancing. I don't want to stop dancing.
Thank-you so very, very much.
