Default Shoes lower for orthotic...

Hey guys I'm currently wearing breathe cage 2's which sit a little high because I wear a thick custom orthotic and need a shoe that feels lower so my foot doesn't sit three inches high.

I have a narrow heel, narrow midfoot, and my toes are poking my cage 2's because of the inserts.

I don't mind cushioning in the shoe since I have an orthotic, but I want a good practice shoe, that fits good, and my insert.

Also, My insert is for a 9.5, since it fit my arch and I usually wear 10.5 in nikes. And I don't want my insert slipping around.

Advise? Thinking of either barricades or oscillates.

They feel fine, but I'm already 6,2 and these shoes make me too tall off the court.

The courtballistec 1.3s are a pretty tight fit with a custom orthotic...that is my current set up. My orthotics (or more technically correct, foot leveler) are 1/2" in some of the thickest places.

I wear custom orthotoics due to plantar fasciitis. I use cb 1.3, barricades, and gel reolution's. They all work for me.
