The Lita has a 5" inch heel and a 2" inch sole. The height of the hidden sole makes me feel like I'm wearing a 2" heel instead. Walking around in these for an hour or so the first time was just fine and dandy but then... after prolonged walking on the uneven and broken concrete of NYC, I started to feel discomfort. Discomfort not due to the fact that I am wearing 5"heels but discomfort that one experiences when wearing ill-fited shoes. I felt friction on the ball of my feet, and that contributed to an unpleasant walking experience. Not only that, the side of my pinkie toe started rubbing against the material and yes, indeed more discomfort!
I thought I'd never wear these boots again but since I paid almost $200 for them, I refused to give up, plus, I love that they give me great height! I decided to work with what I have so I bought Dr. Scholl's gel pads. They work... for the most part, the ball on each foot is now cushioned and I no longer experience pain. Somehow, I think I finally broke into them. I say, these boots overall are worth it! They are a showstopper, especially when worn with a pair of jeggings. Both Eyen and I have gotten a lot of compliments about the Lita's. They are available in a variety of colors!

how long did it take you to break them in? did the dr scholls inserts make the shoe too tight? or was it that you bought the wrong size? i have 5 pairs that ive recently bought and the first day i wore my black leather ones my feet were hurting after 5 hours or longer and i couldnt wait to get them off. There's another girl on youtube that said the same thing also but now she's okay and on yahoo answers some other people from the UK and ireland said the first time you have to break them in if youre not used to wearing heels and that it takes a little time to break them in. So many people said that theyre so comfortable but thats not always true and im glad to hear that someone is experiencing what i have but i will try some gel inserts in hope they wont make my feet to tight in the shoe.
ReplyDeleteBuzzybird: Thanks for the comment:
DeleteThe inserts didn't make the shoes too tight and they weren't the wrong size. It's just weird that I was experiencing pain...
Immediately after the gels were inserted, they no longer hurt... but sometimes the friction still rubs on the side of my foot after prolonged wear.
They are comfortable compared to your average 5inch heels but of course wearing anything with heels for hours will hurt eventually. Make sure to cushion your feet with soft socks and try to wear them for only a short period of time in a given day.
That's all I can say... hope this helps!
