frankly, if the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it
Ouch.
Sure, I understand where you are coming from in saying that to me, but there is something true about most new pairs of shoes... you usually have to break them in before you can fully be comfortable in them. And at first, they may give you a little trouble; you might get blisters... but eventually those blisters turned callous and the leather in the shoes starts to stretch and conform to your foot. So there is a little of give and take on both sides--the foot and the shoe; so that the very shoes that were once so uncomfortable might perhaps become your most favored pair. Such a pair of shoes would then fit you 'just-so" and they wouldn't fit anyone else the same. After a while the shoe, depending on it's quality and amount of usage, might become worn with holes where you have rubbed it against the tough pavement or scuffed where you have tripped and stubbed your toes. But thank goodness for the protection of that pair of shoes; without which your foot may have been hurt much worse. It's true, especially if you are not used to wearing close-toed, closed-heel shoes, at first that pair of shoes may cause you some trouble. For example, you might feel strange or constricted and not know how to react, but eventually that very same pair of shoes can become a comfort and security to your feet. Perhaps it's the "no pain, no gain" theory? I donno. But I'm still willing to give it a try.
Ouch. Does anyone have a band-aid?
