you can get chiropody felt and stick where the shoes rub this should solve the problem.. i do this with all my new work shoes after i have worn them round the house to see where they are going to rub.. as with all my new work shoes i have to wear them all day so i build up the wear slowly swapping to my old shoes when they begin to get uncomfortable - most new shoes take a bit of wearing in, it does not make the product faulty - new shoes tent to be a bit more solid tha older ones and begin to give after a bit of wear.

Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"
