I think I found my size, but sensory issues are challenging me

So I think I found a winner! Elomi matlilda in 36GG (uk sizing) seems to be a fit! However, wearing it made me remember that one of the reasons I ended up switching to sports bras was that all the seams, that weird area where the cups and the straps meet, the rings, the hooks... it's all a sensory nightmare for me. I feel like Im wearing some kind of goddamn contraption and all these points of discomfort are very overwhelming.

Part of what I liked in the sports bras is that there wasn't any of that. They're seamless, dont have hooks or rings, they just make me sweaty as hell...

Is there a seamless wired bra out there somewhere? Or am I just stuck in this limbo state of never being fully comfortable. I tried a molded tshirt bra prior to the matilda and the cups definitely fit me weird (still having trouble understanding shape) and the fabric bra is definitely more forgiving, though of course it required more seams.

Does anyone have any recs? I am US based.

Quick disclaimer, I'm not referring to sneakers that you own for a specific activity. I have hiking sneakers and running sneakers that get used pretty exclusively for those sports. I'm referring to sneakers you might wear "out" casually.

As much as I love the look of a converse or a vans the lack of comfort and their tendency to wear out quickly has me considering phasing them out of my casual wardrobe entirely. Has anyone else here done this? What do you wear with a casual outfit where you might do a fair bit of walking? I was thinking a good pair of ankle boots but I'm afraid they might not be too comfortable either. Have you done this and just gone back to sneakers eventually?

EDIT: by ankle boots I meant boots with a shorter shaft height that stops at the ankle, not heeled boots, sorry everyone 😭 not looking to walk 10,000 steps in heels
