It's just not worth it! I can take a bit of pain in my heels but if it gets too much I have a sweet boyfriend who carries me :)<br /><br />My one true pair of 'cruel shoes' is a size too small for me - they are just too gorgeous to give away though. They're green leather with gold acorns and leaves etched into the design, and they're vintage! I just can't give them up, though it's a weird feeling to take them off and have my bones kinda... slide back into place.Miss Emmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251628463640473391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-5209100971327851662010-04-12T01:17:19.900-04:002010-04-12T01:17:19.900-04:00hahahha!

I know the feeling. All of my favourite shoe...Ah... I know the feeling. All of my favourite shoes seems to be 4 and hald inch heels at the smallest and 7 inch at the tallest. I'm a firm believer in "no pain, no gain" and wear these shoes almost every weekend... or whenever I go out. I simply do not feel that my outfit is complete without killer heels. <br /><br />I have now learnt which shoes rub where, and i wear "preventative band aids" in these spots to stop blisters. Only fabric band aids work as plastic ones move to easily. Stockings are a must to cover any visable bandaids. It actually helps quite alot and usually gives me a few good hours in them before I need to kick them off, but I can usually be found sitting rather then dancing or cabbing to places rather then walking. <br /><br />The only other thing that keeps me going is party feet, without these fabulous little gel pads I dont think I would make it out of the door. hehe. <br /><br />I love the Cruel Shoes story... so many women would do that... me included. Sad, but true. <br />xoMiss Kitty Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053244940575568542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-41469341398262586702010-04-11T20:50:17.427-04:002010-04-11T20:50:17.427-04:00I wore heels ONE night at Viva this year, and even...I wore heels ONE night at Viva this year, and even then I ditched them after 4 hrs.

Instead, I will save up for shoes from the likes of Remix, Rocket Originals or http://www.johnsonshoes.com/.Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516722290571447273noreply@blogger.com
