Need help finding a shoe

[bkaplan]

Love my barricade IV's (women's) because the toe box is square enough. However, when I put my orthotics in (must wear) they aren't as cushiony as they feel with the insoles that adidas provides. I feel flat and the balls of my feet don't seem to have much cushion. The orthotics were just redone. I can't wear Nike (too narrow in the forefoot). Any suggestions for something? Please help.

so you weren't very clear but it sounds like you need a woman's shoe. the shoe i was thinking of was the adidas a3 prevail because it has a wide toe box area. plenty of room up front, but don't know if that is of any help...

Prevail

Does the Prevail have more cushion than the Barricade IV's?

I just bought some K-Swiss Accompish tennis shoes and they are super cushion-y, especially compared to lots of other tennis shoes. I tried the Barricades at the time because the salesgirl told me they were the most popular, but they felt more like equipment on my foot than a shoe! I went with instant comfort in the K-Swiss. I usually need wider brands of shoes and these are fine on me so they might work for you, too.
