Strapped heels, ballet pumps, slip-ons. I think all these are gentler on the back of the heel.

Funz:
Do you have a strict dress code for work?


If not consider strapped heels or boots.

My aunt always say bite your shoes before they bite you. You can literally bite the back portion or in my case, I step and press on the back portion and apply petroleum jelly and leave it for a day or so to soften it. When buying shoes, I make sure that the back portion does not come too high up. For friction, dust with corn flour. If material is not smooth, rub wax over the rough areas.
I \"bit\" around for new shoes too. They still bite me

For my ofc, as long as not slippers, normal shoes is ok.

I could fully understand that Starlight. As I need to walked for 15mins I even put on a pair of thin socks (not those pantyhose material). less than 10mins walking, my heel has started to blister. It is not the size as I could even kept letting my heels out from shoes while walking. I love worn out shoes too.

:scared: MKS, it is precisely the size. It is too big for you, that is why it is chafing you. Friction ah, madam.[/quote]it is not too big. i 'make' them come out. I think some of us will just have this problem. I been very selective of shoes. Those without thicker sole cannot wear as the skin at sole will feel thickened quite fast. I seldom wear those fashion leather as it is not 'breathable'. problematic feet la. when i was working I need to keep comfort shoes/extra pairs of shoes in office/car. Still like old seasoned shoes 😂

I tried gd brands such as Hush Puppies (>$100) and no brands; ($20) results the same. So I decided with no brands. It is sad to see the back part of the shoes stained with blood
Star, how come you wear until there is blood?? Don’t you stop to rescue your feet the minute you feel the chafing? Next time pop into a shop and buy plasters ASAP once your heels feel sore and getting raw. Arrange your plasters in an overlapping fashion and it should get you through to lunch time.

Do you have either long narrow feet or short but broad feet? These two types are harder to find a good fit.

Do go and buy a pair of sandles or flat backless shoes today so your feet can heel. As for the current shoes, if they are too tight, you can send them in for stretching. They can stretch it up to half size bigger for you. (Just remembered yours are not leather, maybe you can just drop by and ask if the material is suitable for stretching if that is part of the problem. If it is the height at the back, then you just have to give up the shoes.)

Interesting that you mentioned HP. The last time I suffered until the feet bled and I started limping was because I was wearing Hush Puppies shoes too. Threw it away after that. Never again.

I used to be a real fan of hush puppies, but in recent years I have stopped buying them. I am not sure why myself, but somehow it does not strike me as good value anymore ie price/quality/ design.

Star, I suggest you wear leather mules, sandles and other backless design to rotate with moccasin and formal court shoes. The important thing is to make sure that they have a really good thick sole suitable for walking and really walk a few rounds around in the shop to get a sense of how it feels. It should be comfortable right from the start. If it is chafing anywhere, it is not your perfect fit.

Try different brands when you are free. Different designs or range of the same brand can be cut differently as well. You can get the sales person to recommend and give you some input. These days they are very free, I think many of them would relish a chat with anyone. 😂

It is now a blister and I hv to walk very carefully so as not to further hurt the wound

My work involves much walking and guess I will need some time for the wound to heal 😢

You should be able to buy silicone gel heel insert/liner from pharmacy or online. Just google...maybe you'll find something suitable

thot of that but she may need to buy one size bigger shoes in order to accommodate it.

The back of HP shoes is real soft and I thought I could escape from the blisters
Yes, now I try to walk as naturally as I can. Luckily it is only my left leg that has the blisters

You may be right about the height at the back of the shoes
Maybe the height is slightly different and each time I will kena the blisters

Oh dear... I know how you feel. Can you wear pants to work? One suggestion is to wear slippers and hopefully with the long pants, can hide your footwear.

Another suggestion is to cover the wound with plaster and wear stockings or those thin foot socks with your office shoes.

Guardian/Watson sells plasters specially designed for blisters. Those really work.

Poor thing. Do apply plasters and put socks over. If the back of the shoe continues to chafe, the cut may be of the wrong height for you at the back.

in a way, am jealous with ladies with many pairs of shoes to choose to wear. I hv only 3 pairs; one for work, another is slippers and a 3rd standby for work

have you tried different brands and designs? I believe a good pair of shoes should not require breaking in.

Moisturise your feet more often. It should help as well. I also only buy shoes if their back is soft. Melissa does it well and they are dainty - my style. I also buy from Everbest and a few random brands as well. I also get strap high heel sandals from Charles and Keith. Their wrap shoes always give me blisters so I only get their strap high heel sandals or bags.

Bleeding shouldn’t occur if you are getting shoes in the right size.

What helps are those thin foot socks for office shoes. That helps minimise the blisters. These foot socks are a life saver and I wear them with all my footwear (except slippers of course). I seldom buy open toe shoes coz of my "delicate skin" feet.


I buy Ecco shoes for work and I have one of their walking shoes which is fantastic for travel. I got them during the Robinsons sales, especially those with card discount + Ecco discount + those cut-out voucher discounts. Can save a bit that way.

Another brand that works for me is Clarks.
