I decided to take a walk to Spotlight and W.A. Salvage today to buy some beads. I also figured it would make a good opportunity to wear in my new Docs.

A little down the road they were kinda painful but I was like "They'll give. Docs are the most comfortable shoes in the world." I honestly can't remember the purple pair ever being painful. By the time I got to Spotlight I was walking weirdly because my heels hurt so much. Once I'd done my shopping at W.A. Salvage I took them off and walked home in my socks.

I have massive blisters on my heels from where the boots rubbed and smaller blisters on the balls of my feet from walking home in socks. Docs ARE NOT meant to be that downright painful. No shoes should give you blisters like that even if they do need to be "worn in".

I took them back to the store and got the size 8. It was hard to tell how they felt because my feet were injured and painful if I wore any shoes. But my old ones were 8s, I'm sure these'll do me a lot better.

The woman there managed to flog me some Dubbin polish as well. I just polished them. Now they have this lemony/waxy scent as well as the leather and man it's nice smell! And God, I can almost see my face in them now!!
