I am hypersensitive on the left side and top of my foot. I found a pair of D'Orsay flats cut low enough on the side to avoid the sensitive scar area, but they slip off the back of my foot when I wear a size big enough for toe comfort.

Hi Barefoot,
I apologize in advance for going a bit off topic but I felt compelled to respond to your scar comment. I too have had high sensitivity in my surgical scars and a lot of mechanical nerve irritation because of them. I ended up having ultrasound guided steroid injections into the surgical field to reduce scar and got some relief. I got even more relief when I went to dermatology and had the scars themselves injected. Sounds miserable I know but it did soften it a LOT and calms some of those extra afferents and even helps some of them die off. I started the derm treatment 18 months post-op and it still made a difference with the burning and stinging that scars can have.
Okay, back to shoes now....
