[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wore black sneakers to a wedding once when I hurt my foot. No one cared.

+1 I wore a pair of Keds to a black tie wedding last month. I've got chronic instability in one ankle from repeated injuries in my youth. I also wear custom orthotics in both shoes. I have hallux rigidus (a type of osteoarthritis) in the foot of my good ankle and have a Morton's extension in that orthotic for additional support.

I, literally, cannot get one foot into heels. The cost of dress shoes/flats that I can wear with orthotics would be much more than what I paid for my dress. So, I wore a pair of Keds that I blinged out on top and Chromed the bottom. My orthotics fit, they were comfortable and I could dance in abandon without pain or instability.

Oh, BTW, very few people at the wedding are aware of my disability. I'm a healthy weight, fit and active (as evidenced by my dancing). I know some women judged me (men don't care) but I have no Fs to give. I did what worked for me in keeping with the spirit of the event.[/quote]

What kind of Orthodics do you have that they fit into Keds?! Mine are way too bulky to fit into shoes like that.[/quote]

PP here. They are the same full length orthotics that I use in my New Balance sneakers. I get the Keds in a Wide size and half size bigger. Haven't had any problems getting them in. I do have to heel lock lace the Keds in a way to make them a little tighter in the heel. I do that for a lot of my shoes and is a handy trick.
