Thanks, Blue Jay -- we will see how I do with them. Flats are usually a no (without extra insoles) but I did so, so well with the Cole Haan Original Grand knit oxfords last year that I thought it was worth the try.
Oddly, when I bought a different pair of Cole Haans -- the Zero Grand, which are theoretically supposed to be even more comfortable -- I found I did need to put a Superfeet insole into those! Luckily the self-insole was removable, so I did. But they are still not as comfy for me as the Original Grands.
Meanwhile, I put Superfeet insoles into my Ecco sneakers to make them wearable. And like you, I cannot cannot cannot wear Cons or any kind of completely flat sandal or shoe.
Usually, a 3/4" lift is good enough, but between the PF and the need for stability in the mid-foot, (and also, the fact my foot is narrower there with high instep so I walk out of a lot of flats, leading to foot cramps) I prefer a little platform or heel. The Campers are nowhere near a 3/4" lift -- just a couple of centimetres -- but I'm hoping the extra soft leather and the strap and the rubbery absorbent sole/ heel will make them workable. I will report back.
Thanks for all the kind comments, everyone. If you are in the market, definitely check them out. And Lisa, I'll be curious to know if they work for you!
