Help!! My new Lanvin flats scratch my heels.

[meeowy]

Hi ladies, I really need some of your help this time. I got a pair of new Lanvin patent flats but they blistered the back my feets badly. I like the shoes, how can I remedy the situation?

Yikes! Thanks for the help!

one word....MoleSkin.....head to a Walgreens and pick it up....cut to size and put in the back of your shoe.
Plus....Band-aid Brand....Blister Block....rub on and go!

I stuck a strappy strip from Foot Petals on the back where the elastic was rubbing my heel and...viola! Problem solved!

Thanks for all the tips! Did the shoes mold to your feet after awhile after the initial break-in period?

They do for me when I start to wear without stockings/tights my feet hurt, blisters etc...but after a while they get used to it and I didn't have a problem all spring.

Yes, much more comfy after they're broken in. Mine were also more comfortable after I had the soles covered.

yes, patent takes a bit longer to break in than normal leather. they will break in eventually; it just takes some time.

I have two bandages on my heels from my new Lanvins this weekend. Patent as well. It helped a lot to wear the bandages and then tights over top. Good luck!!

Once they break in, they're wonderful.

Wow, sounds like quite a few of us had to suffer for beauty! I am just kind of disappointed because I thought they would be comfortable from the start. I will be wearing double bandages and thick socks to break them in.

Thanks again for all the help!

I second Foot Petals. The creator talks about a similar problem with Tory Burch flats on her website.
