Its true unfortunately!!! i myself have had some issues over the past 6months My mom was just diagnosed too with an inflamation from longterm use of heals recently and my grandmother who always wore heels suffered from problems too!! I usually keep my pain to myself i figure most women suffer too!!! I LOVE ALL MY SHOES but after hours of wearing them i CANT wait to take them off!!! as i wait for my next pair of CLs.... haha thats a true addict!!
