Sorors,
I got my shoes today, and the dayum things like to have caused all sorts of corns and callouses on my baby toe. I will continue to break them in because they are sooooo skee-weet. Anyway, I'll let you know of further updates. *going to soak my feet in epson salt*

Ouch Soror! You gotta get some of those insoles for your shoes (They make the kind that are specifically designed to fit into high heeled shoes). If they're leather, which I assume they are for the price, you may also want to try to stretch them yourself without the risk of getting a callous on your foot trying to "break" them in:

Purchase a professional quality shoe stretcher from your local shoe repair shop. For ladies' shoes, the stretchers go by shoe size and are designed for both low heel and high heel shoes, with bunion attachments.

or

Get a bottle of liquid shoe stretch to spray on your shoes while using the wooden shoe stretcher. If your shoes are leather, you'll have greater success.

or

Consider taking the shoes to a professional shoe repair shop. They often use a stretching machine to apply specific pressure and heat precisely where the shoe hurts ' including length, toe raise, instep stretching and so on. On occasion, they'll speed up the process with a leather softening agent.


Hope that helps. It's almost sandal season... wouldn't want my Soror out there with her toes looking bad!

"Dog Update"

After taking the advice of my Sorors, I am happy to say that my feet are doing great!!!

Blame it on my youth, but I kind of ::heart:: this polo...

I stopped in at J.Crew during lunch, and there is plenty of pink and green, as always.

Okay, this is unfortunately something that you can't buy; it's a contest. But, it caught my eye (even though it's something I'd probably never use...just nice to have to display ).

Definitely a display item. Although I'm a native coastal Southern Californian, I've never had much interest in surfing. I used to swim, but when I started wearing contacts full-time 23 years ago (along with relaxed hair), I pretty much gave it up.

I'm feeling this bag although I sure as hell don't need another P&G bag:
