Step, Ouch. Step, Ouch. Step, OUCH!

Cute, aren't they?

It's too bad they've become my very own torture device.

I bought these little ditties over the weekend and loved them to death. That is, until I took more than the 10 steps around the DSW store where I bought the evil creatures.

I know you've generally got to give shoes a couple days to be broken in, but dangit. These things are simply brutal for those of us whose feet aren't little dainty girl feet.

It takes me forever to pick out shoes because, well, I'm neurotic about making sure my feet don't appear as wide as they really are. These shoes did the perfect job of hiding my problem, but now I'm torn. I can't take them back now that they've been worn once, can I?
