My blue fabric shoes

My very first uploaded image here!


These shoes are very pretty. And theoretically, fabric shoes are supposed to be as comfy as can be. Except that these seem to be particularly feral.

The first time I walked in them, at the end of less than two minutes, the back of my ankles were bleeding profusely. Now, I’ve always been prone to shoebites, even old shoes. Shoes just bite me whenever they are in the mood. I’m quite used to it. But this pair is just vicious. When oil wouldn’t soften them, I tried on cotton socks, nylon socks, anything that would protect my skin. But no. They continue nipping away.

But I’m not one to give up. Guess what I do now. I take them to work in my bag and wear them in office only, where I don’t walk around much. I’m hoping doing this a few times will finally tame them.

We have a sadomasochist relationship, me and my blue shoes. They are the sadist for inflicting the pain, and I’m the masochist for tolerating it.
