That’s my resolution. No more uncomfortable shoes. They are not worth it, I’m just not wearing them, no matter how Im convincing myself that it’s ok, they will stretch, it’s hurting only a little bit etc. They are sitting in my closet as I keep avoiding them by all means.
That’s it. No torturing my feet, no wasting money on something unwearable. No more uncomfortable shoes!!!

I keep saying the same thing and yet my poor feet are currently riddled with blisters. Even my shoes that I thought were comfortable (looking at you Tods loafers) turned on me the other day after being on my feet for 4 hours doing a registry at Bloomingdales.

I wore Tod’s loafers everyday when I was working. The best shoes ever. Good for travel too. Very well made and comfortable.

Here are a few outfits for DUT. I’m still trying to figure out where the best lighting is, in my new closet. I really dislike how LEDs are so bright but don’t illuminate as well as good old incandescents.

It seems I still prefer to carry the same bag all week even when everything is easily accessible. Oh well. Let’s not even address the footwear.

I'm sorry to hear that. No Tod's, but when my Gucci loafers are new I have to wear them round the house a while before wearing for the whole day, it's just a slight rub on the back of my heel. After a while they stretch a tiny bit to allow for a perfect fit.

Sorry everyone I haven't been participating much beyond performing out mod duties etc. We've had a bereavement in the family and posting selfies etc hasn't felt right. I did actually take pics a couple of times but then didn't feel like it after all.

I never had a problem with any of my Tods until the other day! Hoping that was just an anomaly because I love them.

I finally got my FI into a pair of nice Italian leather sneakers (good riddance, Nike’s!) and they keep rubbing the back of his heel. I told him exactly this, but the poor guy isn’t used to having to break in his shoes. Welcome to our world!

On another note I’m terribly sorry to hear of your family bereavement, though I hope you will be back with us soon [emoji173]️

I've used candle wax to smooth out leather inners that rub/blister. My most favourite sturdy Gucci boots gave me blisters the first time I wore them. But then they lasted 8 years of all day walking, after I waxed the hot spots.

But I currently have a pair of sneakers that rub like crazy on the back of my heel. The fabric is sewn over and is flimsy and the first time I wore them I got blisters through my blister-proof socks. I'm not sure what to do - am considering getting rid of them.

I am sorry for your loss, papertiger. I hope that you are doing some small things to take care of yourself during this difficult time. We are here for you in our thoughts, but also if you want to chat, vent, whatever. :hugs:
