Converse rubbing my heels - do I give up?

[acatcalledbob]

Bought some gorgeous new converse the other day. Perfect fit but with bare feet, within about 10 minutes of wearing them, they rubbed my heels raw. Should I resign myself to a lifetime of wearing converse with socks? Will they get better?

i can't wear converse, they always rub my heels, sock or not.

I've never been able to wear any shoes with bare feet, but a friend of mine used to swear by cushioned plasters, on the heel, as a preventative. Apparently you can't notice them at a glance (assuming you don't use bob the builder ones )

OK, once my heels are back to normal, I'll raid the first aid kit. No Bob the Builder here but have a stack of Winnie the Pooh ones....

Thanks!

wear socks you nob
