Re: Most your feet have hurt? Ironically, the most my feet ever hurt involved a pair of 2 1/2" Nine West sling backs with pointed toes. Last summer, I went to a drag show for a friend of mine's very first performance. He had been toying with the idea of performing for a couple of months, so I told him if he performed that I would wear a skirt to his debut. I actually never expected him to go through with it, so I was a bit shocked to hear that he was going to go through with it.
Being summer, my legs were pretty hairy and I didn't plan on shaving so I wore a pair of nude pantyhose with a pair of black stockings over them. This mostly covered the hair, but my toes were a bit restricted in the layered leg ware. I found a knee length red skirt at a thrift store, put on a white pullover and a black blazer and my sling backs and off I went.
I got to the club about 9:00, met some friends and danced until the show started at midnight. I stood throughout the show and danced more until about 3:00 AM. I was then convinced to go to an after party that lasted until 7:00 AM. Eventually, hair or not, I lost the stockings for my drive home.
In addition to tight stockings, the only thing I could figure was that the sling backs didn't provide much support in the back and my heels slid about on the shoes. Also, since the toes wee a bit pointed they just added to the stress. I would have killed that night for a foot massage! |
