Anyone found plimsolls for very high arched, narrow feet?

I still haven't found any, and time is running out. Will need to be a size 9, and fit a ridiculously high instep (so the elastic sort is completely out, must have Velcro that is long enough to go over her instep) and needs to be a narrow / average fit, otherwise they flap around on her feet.

Has anyone found anything that might fit. I've tried Sainsbury's, Tescos, M&S and Clarks. Clarks was least worst, but not great.

Are they able to use trainers instead? I didn't waste money on plimsolls as they offer no support and fall apart quickly

Has to be black plimsolls in KS1, unfortunately. Once she can have trainers in KS2, it'll all be much easier.

Start rite was the best for my children with v narrow high arched feet. Clarks were ok but not as good as start rite. Any supermarket/m+s etc were hopleless.

Yes, Startrite. The ones with a velcro tab. Only thing that would ever stay on ds1's feet and £12 a pair (sob).

I feel your pain!!! The ONLY ones that fit are a brand called Superfit. Both my girls can only wear European makes for this exact same reason.
