So those boots I wore ten days ago, the ones I immediately threw into the trash when we got home because they had killed my left foot?

I think they caused a stress fracture. My left foot still hurts, a lot, all day and night. There’s no bruise, no discoloring, in fact just by looking at it, it’s a normal foot. I can move all my toes, though when I stand on my tiptoes, there’s a tingly sensation along my instep.

My poor stupid feet. They never did take to high heels, and I guess never will, which is all the more unfair due to my short stature. At least I can wear wedges. QUALITY wedges, that is.

A stress fracture is the only diagnosis I can think of. Or some kind of other internal strain/tear. Ugh.

The only cure is to rest as much as I can, and apply ice then heat, and wait like a month.

So much for bike riding, or getting any exercise at all.

Burn in hell, shitty Steve Madden boots!

That’s what I get for buying cheap shoes. You get what you pay for.
