Are there any TOTALLY invisible socky things that won't show with ballerina flats?

[JessiCake]

I have, probably mistakenly, treated myself to a lovely pair of black ballet pumps from Tory Burch (My first trip to Bicester...)

I have been wearing them all day around the house (cos I LOVE them) and popped up the road in them even though it was freezing - and they began to rub the back of my heel. Really painful and I will need a blooming blister plaster on my heel for days now.

BUT more importanly - what can I do to prevent this happening when I want to start wearing them properly in a few weeks time when it WILL be Spring ?

Do i keep wearing them around the house and hope they 'break in'?

Or are there miracle invisible socks I can try beneath them?

I know from past experience that anything like a traditional pop sock fabric, even if cut down so it doesn't look ghastly peeping out the sides, will still make them rub through the thin nylon.

I have just googled and found this

Has anyone tried these and might it work, do you think?

The pumps I've got are fairly low cut but not the lowest I've ever seen if that makes sense. That said, they are certainly not a high cut.

I'm regretting buying them now but they are SO beautiful and were half price and I want to channel Audrey Hepburn in them with black cigarette pants and a black cotton sweater. I don't want to be limping. I barely resemble Audrey Hepburn at the best of times and grimacing with pain won't help my cause.

I'm still looking for the magical invisible socks, so would be interested in hearing of any.

I have quite sweaty feet so need some lining in footwear. I bought several brands last year including Pringle...and they all pinged off

I haven’t found any and it really really annoys me when they slip down.

Ah, oldraver, I hadn't even thought about the Pinging Off angle... I was just focussed on getting something invisible and that stops the rubbing.

Now I'm thinking these are some kind of holy grail and they may not even exist!! I will be pissed off if things ping off my feet all day...

Right, so if any Engineering graduates are reading this, there is clearly a massive market (well, three of us at least) that wants sockettes that are

1. Invisible
2. comfortable
3. don't ping off

Put some anti chafing gel or some Vaseline on the heel.

Oh, fluffy, that's a good idea, hadn't thought of that at all, will try it thank you!

You’re approaching it the wrong way round, don’t wrap your feet, wrap the shoe!

You need suede heel grips

Silicone foot cream

I've been recommended these ones which are quite low cut so shouldn't show.

I live in ballet flats and they always break in quite quickly though I find.

The Primark lace ones are brilliant (not the plain ones) as they stay on due to lots of silicone grip and that stops any rubbing too

Thanks everyone!

Curls those heel grips look amazing and I am ordering a pair tonight!!

Love the Calzedonia recc too though I will wait to get those when I am in Italy in 2 weeks (yay!) as may be cheaper and can avoid paying more in delivery than for the sock.

Thanks v much everyone.

I have hope that I will be Hepburning it up in no time...

If it's because the heel is so stiff it rubs, I'm looking at you M&S Mary Janes, massage some conditioner into the heel. I t will soften the leather
