If the counter is the wrong size or positioned wrongly, the shoe will give trouble. another problem is the shaping of the shoe while on the last. Many fashion pumps are styled so the heels, when new, are pointy and narrow instead of rounded, they must be worn several times before the leather softens and shapes itself to your foot. This can be painful and I can recommend wearing a thick layer of wide bandaids at the friction point until the shoe stretches. Before any blister forms of course.

First wearing I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought they just needed more training...also 2nd, 3rd, 4th...I believe in giving every benefit and chance to make good.<br />This is why my father had always said that my middle name is Gullible. <br />I would be stabbed here and there, remove one shoe to search for the cause, suspecting an intruder. Then it showed with the other shoe, so thus removed it and sought a culprit. Both empty and running my hand along the area produced nothing. But once back on my feet, the pinches, stabs, and rubs began again. All attempts to find a solution failed. So the shoes were relegated to my shoe shelf system. Every once in a while I see them and ponder trying to wear them again, but memories hold me back. So they look new and comfy on the shelf and I could almost swear they seem to be gaining weight!!!Rose Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180873324576064516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-52551241265344909032014-08-01T15:35:19.757-07:002014-08-01T15:35:19.757-07:00Good one, Geo. :DGood one, Geo. :DLeeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-14626016833971666262014-08-01T13:24:47.985-07:002014-08-01T13:24:47.985-07:00I liked this post a lot.
