Is it a matter of getting used to the pain or does the pain just go away.
If I could have an operation to cut the nerve endings off in my feet, I would gladly have it.

Actually the best thing I have seen of late was on Good Morning America. (early morning US news) Nike Shoes has recently unveiled plans to make a line of heels (and traditional men's dress shoes) that integrate sneaker technology. The female hosts were all really happy when they got to try them. they all said its the closest thing to wearing sneakers and they look very stylish and just fantastic.

An important tip is to wear heels with PLENTY OF ROOM in the toebox. Many of my shoes and boots were slightly on the small/tight side and whilst street-heeling I got excruciating "toe-burn". This turned out to be lack of circulation, because as soon as I changed to a larger size in the same style (wider and roomier), much beter circulation returned to my feet and the pain disappeared.

Make sure that a) you can wiggle your toes very easily, b) that the toebox is wide enough for your foot, and c) that your ankle and instep are not squeezed by your shoe or boot. It worked wonders for me!

Cheers, Heelfan

Wow! If they can do that in the larger sizes, I'm golden!

Okay, but are they willing to market them at a price that doesn't require s second mortgage?

Nike has always been kinda proud of their wares.

There's an article about them here I'd be quite interested in trying a pair if they use this technology in boots.

Even playing my own gigs is a pain as you have seen the amount of gear we have, and the rest of the band have usually buggered off when its time to load up at the end of the night.
The only downside to wearing them round the house is the false sense of tolerance you get. Traipsing around on carpet is a different animal to the high street.
It’s good advice though and I will certainly give it a go.
Cheers for the plan of attack

I know it's against your religion, it would be again mine too, but why don't you change into flats or at least lower heels when you're ready to load?

BTW, what sort of music do you do? Are you on Myspace?

yes, cole haan adopted this technology.

on another note, i have a pair of boots which feels really comfortable to wear all the time, no matter how long i'm in them made by cole haan and didn't use this technology yet.

what is considered "second mortgage" pricing? my boots were a bit over 300$ but they are high quality and extremely comfortable. it was my biggest splurge purchase, but i don't regret it funny enough.

Well, being one o the po-folk, I'd consider anything above $100 as being in the "second mortgage" price range. After all, I consider a $2000 car as being expen$ive!

Anything beyond that is like a moon-shot!
