Somewhat OT: Terrible time finding shoes

[bfit]

I've written here several times about my long lasting serious foot injury. Well, now I am finally walking again, but I have new very thick orthotics plus my injured foot has an extra addition to the orthotic that makes the orthotic push my entire foot up very high in my shoes. Apparently, I will need to wear that extra piece on the orthotic for several months. The doctor said I would need to shop for shoes that fit with all of that extra height in there, and I can't find anything that doesn't smash the top of my foot up into my shoe and/or smash my toes in the front of the shoe so that my toes are almost numb. I've tried shoes for people with bunions, shoes for people with foot pain, extra wide shoes, etc., and nothing really works. I can't just get an extra large shoe because then it's falling off at the back of the foot. Does anyone have ideas?
