Help! New boots that really hurt!

zigmeister

I bought these boots from Next a little while ago because I needed some nice boots I could wear through winter. They cost me £80 so I really need them to stop hurting!

You know that pain you get in the balls of your feet when you wear heels? Well that's what I get when I wear these! It's so painful! The first time I wore them out I had to buy another pair of shoes from the first shoe shop I saw because I couldn't take another step in these.

Anybody have any ideas?! TIA! x

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it's quite what I need. The boots themselves aren't tight, they just really hurt on the balls of my feet. Other than numbing my feet I'm not sure what I can do! :think:

what about those party feet gel cushions that you put in the shoes?

Have you had a feel inside to make sure that they are finished off properly? You may have a faulty pair as the reviews on the site seem to be positive. I had a pair of boots where the interior padding collapsed and they were agony to wear - I was effectively walking on unpadded screw heads.

Otherwise is there room for an insole to add some cushioning?

These are great for high heel shoes !

Can you go back to Next and try on another pair? Just as a comparison in case there is something wrong with them.

Otherwise - innersoles??

I find I get this quite a bit with boots and it's usually due to a very thin sole. As the others have said put gel inserts or insoles in and it should help.

I have this problem with lots of shoes now. The soles feel really thin and hard and then your foot seems to really burn, not just get hot, they really feel like they are burning. Once I was in Wilkinsons and I actually took my foot out of my boot and put it on the cold tile floor ... it was bliss! I had to put it on later though and it was burning again within a minute.

I really hope you find a solution ... and then post it on here for me to see!

Good luck.

List them on Ebay, then buy some more, comfy boots.

matalan sell memory foam wedges for the heel of boots and shoes. you can either stick them in with a sticky pad from the packet or i just place them inside so i can move them from one pair of boots to another. they are really good and i'm sure it was less than £2 a pack
