Foot Curse

So my amazing cousin, who is also my godsister*, and prlly the only person on this planet earth I consider an older sister, bought me these amazing gladiator sandals for my birthday. I am totally in love with them and I hope she knows it. [Thank you again!!] They're from Sirens and were for $26.50 (I went to Square One and checked. I can't help it!) and they're super comfortable. Except that when I wore them today...4th day in a row may I add, my right foot grew a tiny red blister which promises to blossom.
The Foot Curse strikes again.

---Story of the Foot Curse---
Ever since I stopped wearing sneakers (grade 9) and started wearing heels, platforms, sandals, flip flops, or stilettos, made of cloth, rubber, leather, faux leather, suede, plastic, w/e, the shoe in question ALWAYS leaves its mark on my foot (or feet). The thing is, when I'm wearing the shoes I am seriously comfortable. You tell me to run and I will run in my 4 inch heels (which i have done, behind a bus, at 1 in the night, in downtown Toronto) and I won't kill my ankle (thank God for small mercies) nor will my feet hurt. BUT as soon as I take them off there will be a blister that makes its presence known. This blister starts red, then bursts and peels, turning brown and if I deny it and continue wearing those shoes, it eventually becomes bloody and turns into a callus. I've tried oils, creams, band aids, but nothings gives and my option remains trashing the shoes :(

To make this story sadder, my only fashion passion are shoes. I don't care about clothes, purses, jewelry, scarves, make-up, or anything else. But I do love my shoes.
*sigh*
So now I'm going to try wearing them once more with a band aid and lots of prayers, and hopefully that blister will just shrivel up and die.


*like godfather, except a sister
