Thanks so much for your replies, guys!!
KayDeeCareBear, thanks so much for the tips!! So is Rubbing Alcohol as good as Hydrogen Peroxide? my hydrogen peroxide as expired!

I DO have the gauze pads though

Thanks!!
Juniorgrrl, there was a hole in between your toes from the thongs???

Poor you!!! OUCH!
James, LOL..I'd say that 90% of our shoes hurt...or at least for a while, anyway. In my experience, all the nice-looking shoes hurt like hell! That's why sometimes girls take off their shoes while dancing...we want to look nice, but then there's only a certain amount of pain that we can endure for the whole night! The next day after wearing 3-inch heels, I always have some kind of blisters. But I've never had these gashes before

. Grrr. The only shoes that we wear that are almost guaranteed NOT to hurt are tennis shoes! Or maybe slides...but thongs HURT! Oh BTW James, I replied back to your email!
Gammazetagrl, yeah, mine started bleeding, too

. It was a nasty sight!! That day, I made my bf take me home before we went out again...I put on socks and tennis shoes as soon as I got home...and when I started walking with them, I breathed a sigh of relief, like "Ahhh!" LOL...it's so painful to walk sometimes with our shoes

. I was walking as slow as a snail after the cuts

!
Now my two gashes have turned into red welts.

I'm afraid they're gonna leave really big red scars!!
