New shoes - oh so painful

I have some georgeous new shoes from top shop, there canvas low cut, flat pumps with the plastic bit that goes over the toes and a velcro strap just behind the plastic bit that serves no real purpose.
They were really comfy when i tried them on in the shop but they are the most painful things i have ever had the missfortune to put my feet into. I walked for about 10 min yesterday and then had to stop to put plasters on my heels, each toe and the top of my foot. I cant sell them on ebay or anything as the inside is now full of blood stains.
so anyway any tips on how to stop them hurting? They are the right size so its not like they need stretching or anything. I want to wear them because i think there georgeous.
eta* im awful at describing things and i couldnt find the shoes on the website but there this kind of style but instead of the ribbon they have a strap.

i buy most of my shoes from primark cos if they start hurting you've only lost £6 :thumb:
:yes: Since they're not leather, just canvas right? (sorry if I'm wrong) you could throw them in the wash on delicate then tumble dry too.
what do you wear them with? i.e. trousers/skirt? you could try those granny knee-high tights?
Its a pain in the arse cos theyre quite pretty.
do you mean like pop socks?
I would still take them back if it were me. Regardless of whether they can sell them on again, they have to sell products that are fit for purpose. So, if fashion shoes can't be worn for a four hur stretch due to an inherant design fault- like they are hard inside or something, they are not fit to be sold as shoes...
wear some blister plasters where they rub, they're better than normal cause they have more padding and stick better
I had a p;air of shoes for nearly 3 months once and i could barely wear them as there was a bump in the leather at the top. I took them back and the shop assistant was like "weve all got a pair of shoes we cant wear y`know" and I said, " well thats ok if youve got 10 pairs, but i havent, and I expected more from your products." eventually the manager came down and refunded me.
Quite right too. Shoes are expensive.
Mind you, this was clarks. I would think topshop would be ok for returns too though since theyre a big chain.
aye, but you tend not to wear pointe shoes round town. unless you're a bit of a weirdo.
i've heard lots of people say the same about the topshop pumps, and i agree with katralla. a product should be fit for the purpose it serves, and your shoes are supposed to protect your feet from injury, not create it.
topshop are a huge company and i would be surprised if they didn't make some gesture of goodwill, even if it's not a total refund.
yeh that's them. my mum calls them granny tights.
you can get ankle ones too which might be better for the summer.
Moral of the story: go to Dotty P's next time
My prom shoes were Rocket Dog. I had them for two years, and they've only just become so broken I had to throw them away (the insoles fell out). They were SO comfy and I loved them
I want these ones, but they don't have my size in stock:
:eek:
i must go on a search for some, look perfect for summery shoes too
eta: on the second pic they look a bit glittery but they're not and i've got weird marks on my leg 'cause of how i'd been sat!
i bought my rocket dogs from faith. :yes:
