Shoe help

Hello all,

I've been newly diagnosed with PF and am struggling to find a work shoe that works with my custom orthotics. They're hard plastic, and allegedly lower profile since I wear flats daily (desk job.) I can't seem to find a work shoe that I don't walk out of when wearing the orthotics. I have tried a mary jane style flat, which I read was recommended since the strap can help keep your foot in the shoe. This brand has deeper heel cups, and I purchased a half size up. Still walked out of them and really have to grip the shoes with my toes to try and walk normally.

I am open to any suggestions as I really want the pain to get better! The orthotics work perfectly fine in my Brooks sneakers when I go for walks, but I wear those maybe an hour total in a typical day, otherwise I'm in flats.

It's worth noting that I don't wear the super bendy soft flats. These days, I opt for more supportive ones.

Like I said, open to suggestions! Thanks in advance.
