Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

Bought some pretty gold pumps to wear to a wedding.
They felt good when I tried them on at the store.
After about an hour of wearing them and walking around at the event my big toe on one foot was killing me!!! The edge of the peep toe was digging into my flesh…not all the way in but enough to hurt.
The next time I wore them I decided to put the ball of foot cushions in…didn’t help.

What to do? I really like the shoes…

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

I have same issue....try with socks on at home and see if loosens up little.

funny thing is my shoes only have issue in winter and in summer loosens up itself.

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

some heels hurt

even i had this problem wearing heels .
so the next time i took them off in the car and then also at the wedding and when i was sitting loosen the straps

but it did not help

so i threw away those heels

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

Wow, those are beautiful shoes, MA.

Muzna, a long time ago I had a pair of biting shoes. And my khala suggested to my mom that she apply melted candle wax to the areas of the shoe that hurt. My mom did that...and they didn't bug me after that. I don't know if you'd be willing to give that a shot as those are really pretty shoes. You can find this tip online if you do a search. I've also read about applying bees wax.

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

No advice but just wanted to say that the shoes are cute.

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

I bought something similar a few years back. After a few painful trials, I decided to give it to my aunt who is the same shoe size as me. :bummer:

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

I don't wanna give them away.....I really like them cuz they are otherwise so very comfortable......they hug my feet and the platform makes them high but manageable.
I'll try the candle wax technique but I fear that the wax will simply come off from the abrasion.
At this point I'm wiling to try anything .....

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

I don't know about you but I stuffed scrunched up paper into the peep toe to loosen my heels up abit. It worked, but I try and stay sitting whenever I'm wearing them. It's a harsh reality, some shoes are just made for looking pretty while you're sitting down at some function.

Re: Peep Toe Killing Me!!!

I recall that when I tried it, the wax stayed put. If it provides relief, then it can be applied again should it come off. I used regular candle wax, but if you can...look into a bees wax candle. I did a search and it's said to lock in moisture and be good for the skin.

Band-Aid Friction Block stick...google it...i think it might help u.
