High Instep Shoes / Boots / Loafers Etc.
It's surprisingly hard to find info on this issue, so I thought I'd ask my fellow high insteppers here. Are there any brands you've found accommodating on the instep front? For instep and sometimes width reasons I usually size up a half-size — and even that often doesn't add enough height to make for a good fit.
I've seen folks talk about sizing up and adding orthotics, but worry that going up a full size would have consequences for length and maybe width, causing fits issues and possibly clownish proportions (though maybe I could get use to that). I'd be interested in hearing folks' experiences doing that.
I'm desperate and open to any options, styles, etc. Boots, loafers, sneakers, slippers... In terms of the quality and cost tradeoff, I'd prefer to get something stylish that will last for a long time, so let's say in the $100 - $500 range.
Thank you all in advance!!
