High heel training diary, day 7

I ended up getting called in to work unexpectedly yesterday, so I didn't have to wear my heels for as many hours as I had expected. I had them on from when I got up at 6:00 am until about 10:00 am, and then again from when I got home at 7:00 pm.

My feet weren't too uncomfortable at bed time, so I tried to wear them to bed. I woke up only about an hour later thought from the pain though... for some reason sleeping in pumps is difficult. Even if they don't hurt when I go to bed, something about the muscles relaxing seems to cause the shoes to get tighter and pinch my toes. I knew I wouldn't get a good night's sleep with them on, and I knew had to work in the morning, so I finally gave in and put my more comfortable shoes back on and went back to sleep.

Today's shoes are yet another pair of 4-inch 80's pumps, these with faux zippers on the sides of them. I had to work today, so I did not have to put them on until I got home, but I do not need to go out anywhere tonight so I will get about 5 hours in them, and I am going to try again to wear them to bed tonight. (I do not have to work tomorrow, so if I don't sleep well tonight it won't be so bad.)

It has been one week since I started my high heel training, and I am already beginning to notice a difference. I know that today's shoes fit about the same as yesterday's and the day's before, but when I got home from work it just seemed so much easier to slip my feet in to them, and even though they are uncomfortable as high heels almost always tend to be, I find it is much easier to bear that discomfort. I am really getting used to having them on all the time, and I pretty much just go about my business with them on, not to say that I can forget about them - I can always feel that they are there.

I have four pairs of 4-imnch shoes left in my training, then I move on to higher heels. One of the four are my "Gucci Knock-offs", which I know are extremely comfortable except for the straps, and two others are pumps that should fit about the same as most I've been wearing, but then there is one pair that is a size too small. Letting the shoe program pick for me in the morning feels a bit like Russian roulette - I never know if it will be kind to me, or give me that under-sized pair. I know they will be coming some time within the next four days though, I can only hope it's on Friday, since I have to work Friday, and thus won't need to wear them for as long. With my luck I'll get the comfy ones on Friday, and have to spend all day Saturday in the tight ones though. :-(
