Sensory issues and feet.

My daughter is in the process of being diagnosed with SEN, PDA and sensory processing issues.

Her hypersensitivity is causing issues with shoes and socks, so much so she now walks around barefoot most days and complains of pain any time shoes or socks are on her.
We buy the bamboo seamless socks from the sock shop and we’ve purchased every brand of shoes (and I’m talking every brand that everyone has ever suggested!).
She will sometimes wear sliders and we managed to get a pair of stretchy style trainers on her last week, but now she’s complaining of pain again.
I am off to the GP today to rule out any toe infections (although we’ve been several times in the past and have been told there is nothing wrong before). I’m just wondering does anyone have a child who is similar, did they overcome it or did you end up finding a solution?

She’s now currently off school this week due to having no shoes or socks to wear, even though she’s keen to go and I feel like it’s just impacting us all and just another thing to add to the list of things that are impacting her on a daily basis.

Mine wears crocs because they don't 'touch' the feet, only the sole. They do have little raised bumps on the sole so you could try gluing an insole or similar to make the bottom softer
