Unusual question about recruitment attire

I know I'm supposed to wear cute shoes (sandals, heels, etc) but I can't do that. I had foot surgery two years ago and now I can't wear heels or any kind of flat sandal, like shoe for more than about 20 minutes. I even have orthotics I wear in my shoes (I wear converse so nobody can tell). I don't want to be dressed inappropriately but I also don't want to be limping awkwardly around campus during rush.
Would it be appropriate to wear my converse under a maxi dress? Should I just go ahead and wear comfortable shoes with the orthotics and make sure they work with my outfit? Do I just suffer through it and hope I don't hurt myself? Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is confusing to me as Converse have no internal support at all (except for the very newest issues and that change was a very big deal.) If Converse work for you, virtually any closed dressy flat should. Or perhaps you can look at the orthotic brand sandals (ie: Born, Mephisto etc.), some of which are not so hideous.

I like irishpipes suggestion of wearing the converse from party to party and then changing before you walk in the door, provided that you can wear regular shoes for a short time. You should not be standing too much during the parties.

Best of luck to you!

Why does this initial reply require a sock puppet account?
