i don't get sore balls of my feet, but I do get blisters/rubs unless they are well worn in. I don't wear heels every day though, just on nights out.

why do my balls get sore then,what's the secret with yours?

I can't. I wore heels all day today and cracked at about 6pm in a bookshop, when I took them off. Despite the wet street I walked to my car with no shoes on AND into the off licence.

oh not me.

I always get tender testicles when I wear high heels.

TinyGang · 24/11/2006 20:42

Ooh yes I get that and then they feel tingly and numb for days afterwards. I don't wear heels often though so my balls are soft...oooh errr!!

I have no problems with heels. I wear heels everyday be it boots or shoes. My problem comes in the summer when I swap to mules/flip-flop type shoes minus the heels. Then I get serious pains down the back of my calfs (calves ?) as I stretch those muscles. I bet in a fewyears down the line I will have bunion feet though.

The heel on those is quie chunky so you shouldn't suffer too badly with your balls. I find that I get niggles if I wear stiletto heels

brimfull · 24/11/2006 21:00

I measured them at back of heel,they are !

'Beauty feel no pain'

My (glamorous) Grandma used to say that. Well you might feel it, but you put up with it if the shoes are gorgeous enough

Oh and never take them off if they hurt while you're out. You'll never get them on again!
