At 7:55 a.m., I put on my cute new flats...
... at 8:45 a.m., I put a band-aid on blister #1. At 9:35 a.m., I put a band-aid on blister #2.
I bought these shoes on clearance at Aldo in November and they've sat in my closet all winter. They're adorable!
This morning, I put them on and realized that they're too small. WTH?! I have no idea why I bought them. But I wore them anyway, and now I'm in pain. Stupid cute, ill-fitting shoes....
*Hoping that I can break them in enough for them to be wearable.*
Re: At 7:55 a.m., I put on my cute new flats...
Ha! Sorry, they're 6's.
I hate that!! I hope they start breaking in quickly. I also have this problem with all flats, and I ended up with some killer blisters from a new pair of flats on vacation (not the ideal time to decide to tough it out...).
Tell me more about these heel grippers, please...maybe they'll help my problem, too!

I get mine at Target, and they come in a few different colors (black, nude, etc). When I buy shoes at Aldo, I have to buy an 8 because they don't have 1/2 sizes. These things prevent heel slippage keeping the shoes from rubbing your skin raw.
2 things:
1) I'm sorry about the blisters. I am wearing some new flats for the third time today. My right foot is completely unharmed! WIN!
2) I'm jealous that you don't leave for work until 7:55. Seriously jealous.
Ha... well, I should leave earlier since I'm supposed to be there at 8:00 and it takes me 15-20 minutes to get there.
No one ever seems to care when I'm late though, so I don't make too much of an effort to be on time.
Thanks! I'm going to go look for some tonight!
Kasa,
I know Younkers has a shoe stretcher in their shoe department. I'm not sure if you have to had purchased the shoes there or not - maybe just play dumb or act like you did. Macys might have one as well. Heck, call the Aldo you purchased them from, a shoe store prob has one of them as well. It should be a free service. It's worth a try to help get rid of the blister problem.
I've been on the prowl for some cute flats or kitten heels to no avail! So I hope you can get them fixed. It would stink to not be able to wear them.
I always have a stick of this Blister Stick in my purse for moments where I start to feel rubbing. I've found chap stick works in a pinch too, if I rub some onto the spot with my finger.
I had a pair of Aldo boots that was the last pair in the whole state but an 8 instead of 8.5. I got this shoe stretch spray to use at home. If they aren't leather or suede shoes though, it might not help so much.
