My dress shoes are hurtin' my feet!

[Stepharoonie!]

OUCH! It's not easy to find a certain type of dress shoe in a size 11....and these babies have put blisters on the BOTTOM of my feet. I've never had that happen before...I've gotten blisters on the tops and sides, but never the bottom!

Anyone have a remedy for me...I obviously have to wear these shoes

Yes, take them off, sit down and eat some more cookie dough!


seriously, I have read that if they are leather, put them on your feet and stand in some water. They will stretch to the shape of your foot. I don't know if it will work or not, though!

Good luck!

Are they such that you could put a soft shoe liner in the bottom? Like you could with sneakers? or would that not work with the design?

I hate painful dress shoes

What shoes, Steph? Can you buy a similar style from a maker known for comfortable shoes? Have you checked out 2bigfeet.com? Maybe you will find a more suitable pair.

Hope you heel quickly! (Yes, I know it's heal but I couldn't resist the pun-yon --okay, okay. I'll end my post.!)

2BIGFEET.COM?!?!?!?!

LOL....are you sayin' I have big feet?!

Seriously though...they really didn't start hurting until today...not used to standing for 7-8 hours straight.

I meant you no offense, Stepharoonie. Meant to say that in my post. Sorry.

Stepharoonie--so glad you now have your picture in your signature---now I will know who you are when we head to AKL in two weeks!!!!!!

Of course if you didn't, I could look for the CM with the funny walk as if her feet hurt.

 

[Stepharoonie!]

LOL....just look for the chick with the funny "waddle"

No offense taken IMGONNABE40!...just playing with you

Try blister blockers by Johnson & Johnson. They are a band-aid product that has a jell like center. They stick until you take them off - even after swimming. I used them on the bottom of my feet last time at WDW. You don't even know you have them on after the 1st minute or two.

Make sure you check out the ShoeMobiles when they come on property. Watch the Eyes & Ears for info.

You can put some moleskin on - that should hep the blistered area.

Definately find a show that really fits good and gives you comfort - then buy 2 pairs! That way you can break them in and they won't wear out as fast.

I don't think I could spend that much time on my feet!

At my old job, I was used to working 10-12 hours a day, but I could alternate sitting and standing all of the time. It's been ages since I've had to stand mainly It's interesting though...I find that I want to eat less when I do it (I have no idea why this is...but it's true).

One other thing I've had happen since starting is that I HAVE to eat breakfast every morning. What's odd is I haven't had breakfast for 7 years (occasionally go out for bfast, but never ate it before or at work). I got REALLY hungry on the morning of my first day and nearly got sick...after that, I've eaten breakfast everyday and I'm fine. I usually eat smaller lunches/dinners this way as well.

Weird....and what in the world is a shoe mobile?

I kept reading it as "snow" mobile. And, it was very confusing because there's no snow in FL!!

There are 2 companies that run ShoeMobiles on WDW property. They only sell shoes that CMs can wear at work - I guess very convenient if you don't want to go out hunting for shoes yourself. I haven't checked one out in a few years, but they usually have all different types of shoes. Maybe they have ones that would work better for you. And one of the payment options is payroll deduction bit by bit.
