warning! gross photos!

WARNING!!!

Don't say I didn't warn you =p!

If you just ate, or if you are eating, maybe you'd want to think twice before scrolling down further. Unless you can look at gross photos of my feet without puking, which I can!

One day of the corporate world and my feet curses me to death!

I did not even wear high heels...it's kitten heels!

It's not even those super cheap shoes...it's BCBG!

It's not even new...I wore it to graduation!
(though, I did have problems wearing it too during graduation, but nothing like this time round...it was bearable pain when I wore it during graduation)

Nah! Show you picture of normal pretty feet (taken from Grace Magazine) so you get grossed out even more when you see my feet.

First location of "injury":

The back of my right shoe rubbed my skin raw and I stupidly pulled the skin off (because hand itchy...but seriously, who wouldn't pull their skin off if you see it peeling off?) and it left a huge wound. And this was at lunch so I had to walk back to my office with the shoe rubbing this open wound.

By the time I got back to my office, the wound was black from dirt. You know how open wounds ooze out some liquid? Yeah, well mine was black-greyish.

I'm highly impressed at my level of pain tolerance when it comes to shoe wearing.

Second location of "injury":

My toes (or just my feet in general) were really crushed and only later in the afternoon did I realize that it was because I had inserted those insoles that were supposed to make your shoe more comfortable.

Yeah, it made the shoe a lot tighter and thus, gave me huge blisters shown in the pictures above.

The fact that I took the LRT after work to meet up with my friends for dinner and then we went to Tesco to buy stuff before they drove me home caused me to be in pain almost every waking minute of my day.

How la...Monday how to wear shoes?

What does one do when one gets blisters like this? Do I "burst" it open so it'd heel? Or do I leave it alone?

i dont know what you can do about the blisters (other than letting it heal), but, if you tahan the pain for long enough, your feet will become adjusted to the shoe, and you will feel no more pain!
one of my ballet flats was like that, but after a month of wearing it (and using bandaids to cover up the blisters and the various cuts), my feet became used to the shoe

you put a plaster around all the wounds so that they don't get worse. Additionally, you could wear a different shoe. You need to stop showing gross images of your blistered feet to people, in real life and in your blog......-_-

ouch shinyi... dont peel it! bring bandaids or those blister sticker things to work. let it heal. can you wear more comfortable shoes for now? wear it in short period- eventually your feet will just develop calluses that will make u immune to the pain :P

I had a similar problem at my internship last summer...except I ended up with a plantar wart on the ball of my right foot! It might help to wear silk/lycra stalkings with shoes to stop chafing and blistering, but it may be too hot for that in your country. I saw a lot of women in Boston walking to work in comfy shoes, and bringing the heels in a bag, or just leaving them in the office, under their desks.
