New fooking shoes
« on: November 17, 2009, 12:29:27 PM »
I have some new shoes. Splendid new shoes. Trouble is they feel, after some wear, like they are made of wood or iron or similar  evil:
My feet are red raw. Miss C suggests stuffing them with wet newspaper (but she is clearly nuts). I had thought of boiling or microwaving them. Any other suggestions to render them wearable?

I suggest you clearly mark them 'L' and 'R' to avoid such problems in the future...  whistle:

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 used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Rub vaseline in them  whistle:

I love new shoes  cloud9:

When I last met up with Pastis and BM for lunch can't remember how we got round to it but I was asked to count how many pairs I had.

I really don't think I can justify buying any more for a while  redface: redface: redface:
