My old pair of leather shoes is officially retired today. I bought it when we had a trip to Hongkong. Bad idea. It was okay with my feet until the next day when I started feeling a slight pain that I ignored. On the 3rd day, I was roaming the streets of Hongkong in slippers. The 2 small toes of the left and right foot were very sore that I couldn't even wear socks. In the airport, I couldn't walk straight due to the pain.
At home after a few days, the toenails were just hanging by the side, ouch, so painful. That's courtesy of the new pair of shoes... that is now retired.

I am sorry to hear this. It is sometimes difficult to find a good fit.

@TiarasOceanView Thank you for the concern. That was 5 years ago.

It was really so painful for several days until the toenail slowly released itself from the toe.

I am sorry to know that please please keep your feet in a hot water bucket and put a pinch of salt in it. I hope you get relief

Its amazing how important how our feet feel. Any discomfort draws all of our attention. I love good shoes. I often buy mine at a thrift shop....they are used and comfortable and a LOT cheaper. lol

You are right with the comfort. I am used to having only 1 pair since I was a boy and that habit had stuck on me.
