Please help me find some not too clumpy hi tops for dd

Yesterday we traipsed from shop to shop for some weekend shoes for 12 year old dd, including John Lewis and Clarks (only out of sheer desperation).

Ideally she wants hi tops but not clumpy ones. The other problem is she wears full sole orthotics so the shoe needs to accommodate them.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? She's a size 3.

Has she tried Converse? They are neat and narrow, but I don't know how they'd be with orthotics.

She tried Converse in one of the many shops and they didn't work at all with the orthotics unfortunately.

Geox hi tops for girls are good

What colour does she want?

Any good?

She actually tried those in navy yesterday tether! They were 'ok' but she didn't like them that much.

Sarenza seem to have a good selection online including Geox so might order a few pairs for her to try at home. They do free delivery and free returns. Can't face any more shoe shops!

Shouldn't be clumpy as barefoot style. The only thing is the Bobux are at the narrower end of the scale, and may not have the space for orthotics. The lady who runs the company is lovely though, and I know she has advised on shoes for orthotics a few times.

Do they have to be hi-tops as my dd wears vans as quite wide and deep so hides her orthotics.
