Stilly's Pigalle Parade Plus!!!

[mama13drama99]

As promised here are my new Black Patent Cross Blake 120's. I debated getting these in bright blue but I couldn't find them with the 120 heel and frankly the black I will wear far more often. Compared to the Crosspigas these are very conservative and show almost no toe cleavage. They fit perfectly though and are fairly comfy...

WOW!!!! That's gorgeous. And I see what you mean. The fit is vastly different.

They are lovely on you. I prefer them to the crosspigas - they look a more comfortable shoe, if 120 heels can ever be considered comfy

How often do you wear heels Stilly, is it every day to work?

Do you have any tips you could share on avoiding, and treating, the blisters, corns and calluses which seem to come along on my feet with long-term wear? These often get so uncomfortable for me that I can't wear heels at all for some periods.

I do wear heels every day for work. My office has a fairly regimented dress code that requires us to dress what they call "smartly" in dresses or skirts and dress heels or flats. For me that's CL's most days but most of the women in my office wear heels.


Luckily, I have my own office and don't have to stand all day in heels which would be impossible. I can also slip them off under my desk as I work if needed which helps. That hasn't stopped me from getting lots of calluses at this point which you can see in my pics.


I do try to take baths and soak my feet at night which helps. I also use powder on my feet and Glide on the toes and heels which cuts down on some of the friction.


At these point my feet have toughened up to some extent...

The patent leopard is killer gorgeous! Can I ask what you use in terms of powder and what glide is? I want to wear heels more often and I could use all the tips and tricks I can get

I usually use baby powder or corn silk on my feet after a bath.


Foot Glide looks like a small deodorant stick that contains an anti-friction material that helps prevent chaffing or rubbing of your feet inside the shoes. You rub it in your toes and heels before putting your shoes on. It will also allow your feet to more easily slide into the shoes by reducing friction. Dr. Scholl's also makes a similar product called Blister Defense. Use both sparingly though as they can slightly stain the inside of your CL's over time.

Do you have any problem switching to flat shoes?

No I wear flats almost every day after work and on the weekends.
My feet do need a bit of a break...
