Do shoes worn bare foot ALWAYS hurt you?

[LadyMountbatten]

Or is it just me? I bought some loafers to wear sans socks and am busy wearing them in. Mate look askance! She never has this. Now I do have skinny long chicken feet so getting shoes that are slim enough is a big deal.

So here I am, wearing them with socks around the house as they pinch on my heels.

AM I alone?

These are leather qualidee shoes not any old shit

It happens to me all the time, and many a set of ripped heels or pinch-points near and on the toes have I suffered.

And now tend to wear fit flops year round (flip flops or boots, depending on temperature), with Converse (with socks) as alternate. Perhaps I'll surrender to crocs in places other than route to beach on holidays (whilst wearing purple).

Sorry I never have this either, and I have narrow feet.

I buy in Ecco and Clarks, so only quallidee shoes and sandals here too.
Sometimes, I use powder in my shoes, but mostly not.

Maybe you have freakishly soft and dainty feet! ;)

Will you use a stick to make music on the railings whilst wearing purple meditrina?

Or am I barking up the wrong poem?

I always get sore heels, sometimes toes too But I have little clammy feet which probably doesn't help.

There is a Compeed stick you can buy that you rub on your feet on the pressure points and it provides a lot of relief I find, but generally, I need pop socks.

It's easier to break them in with socks first, then start wearing them on bare feet (take blister plasters along). I also tend to buy 1/2 size too big and slip in washable cotton-coconut fiber insoles (I wear loafers frequently) - loafers and other closed shoes on bare feet can get really grotty. Oh and people in hot countries use talcum powder to dust feet. Stick deodorant can help too.

No, never have a problem.
I do have huge wide sashquat feet though.

Venusrising - shall we share the brandy?

Shoes/trainers without socks/tights are grim. And I hate talcum powder!

Only sandals with out socks here.

I can't find shoes I can wear bare foot. They rub or get sticky. Or just feel uncomfortable. Not great for summer dresses. . .

I'm going to buy some walking Sandal types this year.

Yes, almost always. Is a bugger, isn't it?

Tilly. You lummock. You never wear bare feet with. Shoes?

Thanks for compeed tip

I get this too. I have paper thin skin the tops of my feet and my feet are covered in scars from where my feet have blistered, and it doesn't have to be barefoot either because I can even get blisters with socks and trainers. My podiatrist mentioned it, said she could see the scar tissue all over my feet. It can be agony - sightseeing in a hot country, for example, is a nightmare. Anti friction balm helps a bit but it feels horrible and clammy.

That post is barely readable. Sorry. Phone is being difficult, finding it hard to edit.

I wonder if its linked to skinny dry skin lizard feet

No bare feet with shoes. Too painful.

But no socks with sandals. Yet.

And only no knickers with long dresses

I wore my new Clarks loafers to town the other day. I didn't want to wear my new DM's as they aren't broken in yet. I though I would be safe wearing them.

Sat here now with 6 blister plasters on.

Only after they've been broken in. You are straying dangerously close to old lady pop sock territory you know...

Before they've been broken in rather. Am clearly ahead of you in the senility stakes

Sandals, boots or trainers with socks. All other shoes, with or without out socks hurt!

Every time I see someone in ballet pumps I'm when it's my own 12y DD I'm very jealous indeed.

I don't sweat, I glow
