Shopping for heels for me is a pain in the ass too, but for a different reason. I have ballerina feet - and no, I'm not talking about them being calloused and icky. I'm talking about a very very high arch that makes finding shoes that properly and evenly support my weight is not an easy task. The wrong fit and all my eight goes onto the ball of my feet, which causes a nerve down there to inflame leaving me with the feeling that I'm walking on pebbles. Sometimes the pain/rocks sensation lasts for days. So there's a few pairs of heels I can wear a long time with comfort...the rest I only wear when i know I can sit down.
my shoe sizes go from 6-7 depending on the level of arch support.
