New fooking shoes

[Snoopy]

I assume you bought your usual size ~ which is often a mistake.
A good shoe shop (and there are still a few of those around) will be able to help by easing them but wet paper can help.
Try leaving them off for a week and then wearing them for an hour a day, lengthening the wear time every couple of days until they are comfortable or your feet adapt. At least that is the advice from SWWLTBO who used to manage Barretts Oxford Street Branch.

I personally always subscribe to the Duchess of Devonshire's advice to spend as much as one can afford on buying a good bed and good shoes ~ because if you are not in one you are in the other. I don't buy shoes very often, preferring to spend the price of an ordinary pair on having the expensive ones I bought more than 20 years ago properly repaired when necessary.

I'm not surprised that you have a lobb on....

Just because shoes do that to you

It's the key on the left hand side marked Caps Lock

It is the side that matches your shoe with the big 'L' on it...

He won't know which that is as he is obviously typing with his toes.


Idea: Tattoo L and R on his feet so he just has to put on the corresponding shoes.

I suppose socks with embroidered L and R will be required as well.

You are SO demanding.

Get someone else to wear them in for you

I have given you the opinion of a "Shoe Professional" what more do you want?

My father also worked for Barretts ~ whenever anyone came in complaining that their new shoes pinched/hurt their feet he would say "leave them with me overnight, I'll 'ease' them for you". His method was to insert the handle of a broom into the toe of the shoe and pull on the back of the shoe with all his might, he would then sprinkle talc into the shoe. Each shoe would get this treatment. The next day he would fuss over the customer when they came to collect their footwear. "I'm sure that'll be more comfortable" he would oil as he slid the shoes onto their feet and they ALWAYS agreed. Whether it was his salesmanship, the broom handle or the talc I never knew. The Old Man always claimed it was "All in their minds me boy  ". I suspect the overnight rest of their aching feet helped.

Get someone else to wear them in for you 

I thought of that but then remembered the size of his feet  We are not talking twinkle toes here.

Aye. Get Growler to squeeze them on his paws! Simples.

  Strange ~ Vaseline and wet newspaper usually does it for me
