So I'm sure I'm not alone in this... But some heels just destroy my feet!
Last week I scored a pair of pumps that I absolutely loooove (these ones! aren't they pretty?), and I foolishly decided it'd be perfect to go shopping up and down Michigan Avenue while wearing them, to break them in and such... TERRIBLE idea. I looked great of course, but oh dear heavens within an hour my feet were destroyed. I have a few pairs of heels just as high as these that I wear a few times a month maybe (though I'm not a pro at them yet like I'm sure lots of you gals are!), but these are my first pointed-toe pumps, so maybe that's why they were so difficult?
I had to make an emergency stop in walgreens to buy bandaids, and then sit awkwardly on the dirty, icky curb in the middle of downtown to bandage up my feet. NOT COOL.
So ladies, what do you do when you need to get used to a new pair of shoes that seem hell-bent on destroying your feet? Just suck it up until your feet develop callouses? Tape up the insides so they don't rub against your skin? Tell me your secrets!
