Shoe venting (or whining, depending on your perspective)

Maya

Oh my gosh. I just wore my Boden flats for what I thought was an evening getting coffee and dessert. Afterwards my friend wanted to take a stroll around town and I like strolls so I didn't hesitate. Now I'm home and I noticed that my shoe basically skinned my big toe joint. The old skin is peeled back in a little accordion and the raw skin below stings like crazy and is bright red (so bright that I thought it was bleeding at first but it's not). There are blisters on my heels and my pinky toes. It's awful. Even my slippers are painful right now. I need a shoe overhaul SO badly. I don't think I can go shoe shopping at Nordies tomorrow because my feet are too battered right now and nothing is going to feel comfortable. I didn't even walk that much

If you go to Nordies tomorrow, please try the Linea Paolo Fae flat. Seriously... amazing. I feel your pain and I have found my solution with these shoes.... and they're super cute too!

Oh Maya, I completely feel your pain. I came home today with blisters on my feet!:( The funny part is, I've had these ballet flats for 2 years, I wear them practically everyday, they are super comfy and they never gave me blisters before. I am starting to think that my feet are just weird and decide to act up from time to time and there is nothing to do.

Maya! Off with those Boden shoes! Pass them on right now.

Soak the feet in warm water and pop neosporin on the sores. I have done to my feet what you have done to yours. They will be okay tomorrow.

The flats Marianna is talking about are very comfy, but I don't think Maya can keep a ballet flat on her foot, unless it has a strap.

All of these come in wide, which might work. They are not VERY wide, but wider and hopefully narrow enough at the heel:

I literally feel your pain as I also have a blister at the side of my foot caused by an unexpected downpour of rain soaking the leather of my shoe whilst out with my daughters.

It is difficult to reconcile the shoes we lust after against the shoes are feet will love. Fingers crossed you will find both tomorrow (if your poor tootsies have recovered enough).

Do these adorable, cute shoes have any arch support at all? If so I would def, want to order them

Ewww the part that was skinned has been weeping a bit. I'm hoping it's just healing and not infected. At any rate, I couldn't try on any shoes this weekend and probably won't be able to for a few days This is probably one of the worst post-uncomfortable-shoe experiences I have had in recent memory. My little toes and heels are STILL really sore as well. The only shoes I can currently wear are some thong sandals because I can't stand having anything touching my foot.

Those first Sofft pumps are on my list. They aren't available in-store though. Boo. NJW, both Sofft shoes will have arch support. Not sure about the rest.

I'm actually not really crazy about those Magdesians. The black and white wingtip is very me, but the style itself looks a bit frumpy to me =\
