Definitely a Screen Protector
A Travelling Case would be nice.
I also added Dr Scholls Moleskin to the front of my dock to reduce the risk of scratching the screen protector. (Two small strips on the parts inside the dock that are raised.)
A Memory Card also helps for the digital only games.
What color Switch did you get? I got the grey switch then bought a pair of Red Joycons and another pair of Blue Joycons. So in total I have a grey, red, and blue L Joycon and a grey, red, and blue R Joycon.
If you got the grey switch and then buy the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) then you won't be able to get one of each color for L/R without over paying. This is because the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) are always Red L and Blue R.
If you bought a neon switch, then buy the [two color Joycon pack] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) and a pair of Grey Joycons for all combinations.
Also, don't buy Joycons on Amazon, they are stupid expensive right now.
I don't have a pro controller yet, but people seem to love it.
Games:
Zelda = Must Buy
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe = Must Buy
1-2 Switch = Great for parties/friends
Snipperclips = Great for people who don't play games often (girlfriends/parents/kids). Secret here is to not explain how to play/what to do and let them have fun and try to figure out the puzzles on their own. Act like a support character and you'll have a blast watching them.
Binding of Isaac = I love this game, but put countless hours on the PC version. Mature themes
Super Bomberman R = Classic mode with easy CPUs is fun for roommates. I haven't played through the adventure mode yet.
Wonderboy = Cute/Fun side scroller.
Has Been Heroes = I don't have this yet, apparently very difficult.
Other notes:
I started collecting amiibos after getting a switch (Be very careful, it's easy to get addicted and drop a ton of money here).
I got a Joycon charging dock since the only way to charge extra pairs of Joycons without the Joycon charging dockis to rotate them in and out of the switch while it charges/docked.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
PS I love the Switch so much. It's definitely my favorite console ever.
Although there are more knowledgeable folks around here, I've had to deal with some plantar fasciitis that flat insoles can flare up so I'll give this a rip. Not sure if you're looking for arch support so YMMV.
Good luck. I enjoy all my shoes despite the flat insoles. Good luck
You're most welcome.
Yeah, superfeet insoles immediately help me feel more stable yet plush.
Orange and green superfeet insoles so you can read what thousands of people think of em--not just me.
I have black ones which are the thinnest for my work shoes and hours standing on the train.
The orange will be the most plush; however, I found that they are so plush and thick for my Vapor 9.5s that there's ever so slightly some heel slippage so I opted for a lower-profile superfeet and now wear these Runner oriented superfeet for tennis.
I would search other brands too, there are some decent ones--I just preferred superfeet since I have had my black ones for years and works for me.
The ones you wear for tennis will definitely start to fray and that's okay as long as the actual mold and insole isn't cracked or anything like that. Superfeet has replacement policies but the wear on mine are minimal atm (had em for 2 months now).
Gotcha, we play similar frequencies about 3 to 4 times a week.
Yeah, if you go with Nike 9.5 Tours just know if you toe drag and slide, they're gonna look like this for the toe box area and out sole(first light blue pair is this year, prob 5 - 6 months | second black/purple pair was few years ago): https://imgur.com/a/W4P4H
I know a lot of people including my dad who wore Barricades--they are stable and bulkier so it's preference. They are solid and last longer I would generally say than Nike. Both have their place.
I personally value court feel and weight (lightest) shoe then stability so I've gravitated towards Nike over the years even tho I started in Barricades.
The 2017 barricades are okay, I put my foot in one and walked around--it's stable--just didn't have that "wow" this thing is plush and comfy feeling I get with my Vapors and Ubersonic 2s (obvious price diff) also see Asics recs.
Vapor advantage, I guarantee you will be almost identical to Vapor 9.5s.
You just spend less prob ~$60 - 70 for new pair to wear out in 4 - 6 months as opposed to the $140 or $180 (flyknit) and imo, more aesthetically pleasing 9.5s. If that money is worth aesthetics and "same" shoe that Fed is wearing then it is worth it! Look good, feel good, play good yeah?
Just my opinion, hope this helps.
Check out Asics--very very underrated. I would even go as far to say they are more comfy than some of my Nikes and Adidas.
Specifically the 3 and the 7.
I'm just bias towards Nike since tennis shoes were Vapor 9 back then and now I really like the 9.5s.
Interesting to see what the Vapor 10s will look like--I feel like I won't like em.
Trend I see is tennis brands adapting a sock fit rather than tongue which I do not like.
Rafa always always gets his custom shoes with a big fat plush tongue--it's his preference if you focus on what his shoes look like compared to the consumer version.
If you're only working in the kitchen, ID find a good pair of slip resistant work boots. Redwing, wolverine, timberland etc all make a good product and are readily available. They all made their mark making shoes for people who work tough jobs and are on their feet all day. They're pretty expensive upfront, but they'll last a really long time.
Danskos don't make shoes in my size ( I've got really big and wide feet) so I've never personally tried them, but I've only ever heard good things about them. They're really popular in the medical field, which is also full of people who are on their feet for long hours.
Crocs gave me no support for my Achilles and I think they're the reason I had ankle issues. I did like how they're basically flip flops for kitchens, but I'd never buy another pair.
I'm wearing rockports right now as I got promoted to the FOH (gm) and I needed a little nicer looking shoe. The jury is still out, so far so good.
A cheap pair of insoles can make any shoe more comfortable and aid in support. If you can't afford to go all in on a good pair of shoes, ID get these. I'd you can afford it, ID get both. I had an Achilles problem and my podiatrist recommended these. I still wear them every day, and I've been happy since day 1. Soft gel inserts feel great for the first few hrs, but actually make things worse over the course of a long day on your feet. You don't need squishy pillows on your feet, you need firm arch support to distribute your weight on your leg muscles and take the pressure of your knees, hips, and back. It sounds strange, but something less comfortable in your shoe will be much more comfortable throughout your shift.
Don't fall for the hype of custom insoles at $400 a pop unless you have really odd shaped feet. Those cheap inserts work great, I still wear them everyday.
Wash your face every night before you go to bed with a facial cleanser. Or morning if you work night shifts.
Use moisturizer. Also use beard oil if you have a beard. Yeah, the rugged look is sexy, but dry hands and face are not.
Silk pillowcases are better than cotton for your skin and hair.
Wash your bedding items at least monthly. And if you wear hats a lot, wash them too.
You can use the skin treatments in the makeup aisle (anti-wrinkle cream, creams that reduce under eye bags and darkness, etc). It;s better to start using them when your younger and the wrinkles haven't formed than waiting until you look like Farnsworth.
Brush your teeth.
Drink lots of water.
Cut down on junk food being overweight, smoking, and excess drinking. Not only are they bad for your health, but they age you like crazy.
Use sunscreen!
Workout.
Exfoliate your body and use body wash.
Take care of your hands and nails. Keep them trimmed, cleaned underneath the nails, and use moisturizer. Same with your feet. You can even buy something like the Amope or a pumice stone for dry heels and calluses on feet.
I like a guy with a natural forest, but if you want to shave your pubes:
Oh yeah, if you do that in the shower, it's a good idea to have one of these. It'll be easier to clean up after yourself and you won't clog the drains. If you have a anyone with long hair in your house or using your shower, you should already have one in every shower they have access to.
I'm not sure what budget-friendly means to you, but I'd expect to pay $50-100 for cute, comfortable shoes. Your feet will thank you for going for comfortable over cute $15 flats from Target.
I'd suggest Clark's or Keen brand. I wear Clark's desert boots for my office-ish job (I'm a woman and walk/stand a lot) with inserts to make them even more comfortable. But they have tons of flats like this in lots of colors and styles. Keen is mostly known for athletic shoes, but they have a surprising number of cute flats that feel like you're wearing sneaks, like these.
I buy most of my shoes online, so I don't have good suggestions of stores. But Zappos and many of Amazon's shoes have free returns.
I've found, after numerous boots and insoles, that truly good fit really comes down to insole selection. As long as the boot/shoes are the right size for your feet, the comfort is going to be almost all on the insole.
Figure out if you have a high/low/flat arch and figure out if that arch is short, regular or long.
Here is my experience:
I should mention that I used to be a big Superfeet fan, but now I am definitely in the Spenco camp - especially when it comes to what you get for the price. I have Spenco insoles in 3 pairs of boots/shoes and it cost me the same as buying 1 pair of Superfeet.
Yes, it most definitely does. I'm 6'5' and ~235, so probably a similar but slightly heavier build to you, and I also have flat feet. That fact plays a huge role in all pain you'll have from your feet to your hips. I had some gluteus medius soreness/pain last year and went to PT for it. In the end, my PT concluded and taught me how the flatness of my feet let to my knees turning inward and then other muscles compensate, etc etc etc... Number 1 thing she recommended for me was to do strengthening exercises for all of my legs, lots of stretches for the hips, etc... and for knee pain, you're going to need to do much of the same. Strengthen up your hamstrings as much as you can b/c they support the knee. And, also, invest in some good shoe inserts. I use [these!] (http://www.amazon.com/Superfeet-Green-Premium-Insoles-Womens/dp/B0033BPBD4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449506568&sr=8-3&keywords=inserts) and highly recommend them. I use them for running mainly, but they're great and help a lot. You can also get custom inserts from a doctor but those are much more expensive and they generally don't seem to be as well suited for sports or running.
always has a smilE for you
I'd suggest buying different sizes, and sending back the one that doesn't fit, which should be totally free for an Amazon Prime eligible product.
Some insoles also have cut marks so you can just adjust it to your needs.
Here are some examples after a quick search.
https://www.amazon.com/Sof-Sole-Memory-Plus-Cushioning/dp/B00PKM76U0/ref=sr_1_32?keywords=flat+insole&qid=1569316544&s=gateway&sr=8-32
https://www.amazon.com/Spenco-Comfort-Lightweight-Cushioning-Orthotic/dp/B000S6GBI6/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=flat+insole&qid=1569316544&s=gateway&sr=8-4
https://www.amazon.com/Cork-Insoles-Pack-Size-13/dp/B0043X90ME/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=thin+cork+insole+men&qid=1569316788&s=gateway&sr=8-5
https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Anti-Bacterial-Killing-Insoles-Inserts/dp/B07KFLGL41/ref=sr_1_25?keywords=kaps+insoles&qid=1569317227&s=gateway&sr=8-25
Personally I use Kaps Cork adjustable insoles but they are not sold on the US Amazon (I live in France), but they are very similar to the ones I linked last.
Lastly, you can also go to a Foot Locker or this kind of Sneakers shop and ask for a simple insole, this way you would have the opportunity to try them on and see if they fit. I have an old pair of AND1 flat insoles from when I used to play basketball a decade ago and they are still in a pretty good shape, I use them to replace my cross training shoes soles to flatten the drop.
I hope it helps.
Well thanks Mom for the 5'3" genes!
5'8" is right on the cusp, but you should still be fine. Just don't let it get to your self-esteem. But if that is not possible..... and option is to go with the Tom Cruise method. Buy Elevator Shoes or Elevator Shoe Insole Lifts. Of course, you wouldn't want to buy too tall (i.e. more than 2 inches), but that might help you.
Best of luck to you. And honestly you really are good looking.
Thanks /u/yousavvy for the shout-out of climbOn, much appreciated.
Op: for finger strength, you can purchase something like this to help. In the use of climbOn after you're done climbing wash your hands. Pack climbOn Bar into any flappers, rips, or tears and cover. Overnight put a thin layer all over your hand and cover with a sock. It will help you build nice strong healthy hands!
I typically wear a 6.5 in flats and a 6 in heels.
I discovered these heel grips recently and they're AMAZING. It is almost impossible for me to find flats/heels that fit both feet perfectly because my left foot is a tiny bit smaller than my right. My left foot used to slip out pretty frequently. I've stuck the grips on two pairs of heels and they fit great now. The suede feels really nice and the adhesive is strong. I recommend purchasing them if you have problems with shoe sizing.
Before bed, I use a callous remover like this every few weeks, or when needed. It looks like a cheese grater for your feet, but it works wonders! I have also used electric versions like this, which are great if you don't have a lot of time to spend. But honestly, the chess grated looking callous remover works better!
Then I follow up with a thick, heavy moisturizer (Vaseline is inexpensive & works very well), and put on cotton socks to sleep in. In the summer, my feet tend to get rough much faster, so I also will do a quick scrub at the end of my shower every few days with a pumice stone.
If it happens often, you might have what's called supination(or underpronation). It's where your foot naturally rolls outward. Example pic
Some people just naturally supinate, but it might be from a condition. I personally was just diagnosed with heel varus and metatarsus adductus. My podiatrist says I'll probably need surgery in like ten years.
If you don't have an actual condition, or even if you do, consider some insoles, and not soft gel insoles. You'll want something with rigid support. Rigid orthotics changed my life. When I have these puppies in, I never want to take my shoes off.
I am currently using Spenco Total Support MAX. The max part is key. The max is the rigid version of the total support.
Another really popular insole is Superfeet Green.
There is also the Superfeet MerinoGREY. They're the exact same model as the green, but have merino wool for more softness and warmth.
Exercise balls are probably fine to start. You can also get something like this that guitarists and pianists use to strengthen individual fingers. If you want something more interesting that will help more with dexterity (and is a pretty awesome party trick if you get good) you can try Baoding balls
Love your shoes!
I use the foot petals heavenly heelz pads on my heels and they work well. They have a pretty good grip and I've used them on a pair that I've had for 2 years and still going strong (don't wear them often though).
I bought this one.
I usually don’t have much knowledge on things like this, which results to me looking at reviews of other customers who bought it. Many people are pleased with what the powder accomplishes and so I bought it. It’s been pretty great on the feet, and you can sprinkle some inside your shoes as well. I do recommend rubbing some on your dry feet after a nice shower, and don’t forget in between the toes.
Shrinking? No, but you can try tongue pads or heel liners. If you have an AE store you can take them too, they're usually pretty great about helping make them fit, including the things I mentioned (I think they do tongue pads).
Edit: Something like this or this.
Congrats on the new job! I hope it's what you and your family needs.
Since you're going to be on your feet all day these here will probably be a lifesaver.
I'm going to be moving into a new apartment tomorrow that has no washer and dryer, so I'm planning on using one of these to do my main laundry in a bucket w/ minimal water and detergent. Should save me a "load" of money and help the planet too I guess...
Congrats on the new job!
I have a pair of Frye Arkansas Midlace boots. They have already been resoled once a few years ago. The insoles are pretty hard and uncomfortable at times. I bought a pair of these insoles but I don't think they will fit in the shoe since I cannot take out the old insoles they appear to be glued on.

I may also need to resole the boots soon again. Do you guys think I should try to restore these or should I just go for a better pair of boots? Been looking for a legit excuse to get something nice like some alden 405's or maybe some iron rangers.

If you're embarrassed about your feet I'd check out the [TONYMOLY Shiny Foot Super Peeling Liquid.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BCHME3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yKU2xbGHFC9GN) You can get it from Amazon, you sit with your feet in these plastic bags for two hours with the solution inside. Then about a week later your feet start to peel like crazy. At that point I recommend doing a foot soak and before you take your feet out rubbing them in the water to get more skin off.
After doing that you can get Amopé Pedi Foot File , on Amazon, to help maintain your smooth skin. Also make sure to lotion.
Now if you just want the experience and the enjoyment of a professional pedicure as others said just go to any local place. They don't care what your feet look like they just want to make some money.
For boots i used these. I was at a specialty shoe store when I first got these. The salesman mentioned that the heel shouldn't spill over the insole like a muffin top and sized mine accordingly. just FYI
For walking sneakers i use these.
I like the brown half soles a lot more than the blues, but the blue one has made unbearable sneakers comfortable enough. I learned that the $35 used GATs that gets posted on here a couple times a year don't do well with my feet. However, once I took the soles out and put the blues in I could actually walk a couple miles in it ok.
If I clap my feet together I have enough space for 1 forefinger to fit. Two fingers width and it'll jam half way. Quite the Donald duck feet lol.
It really depends on how you are traveling the Ring Road, but most of this will be useful.
For insoles, give these a try.
https://www.amazon.com/Timberland-PRO-Fatigue-Technology-Replacement/dp/B009R9EJO8/
They are thick. They aren't highly shaped, but offer a little arch support without being annoying.
What they do really well is cushion. The material and design is not too squishy and not too firm. No gimmicks like gel or flimsy pieces of plastic. Also they are fairly thick, so they should fix your volume problem and wont damage the leather insole.
I work on concrete all day and these are the best IMO. And I have tried about $120 worth of insoles over the last month. These will be my go to from now on.
Sounds like they’re good quality shoes and you were taking good care of them, that’s the way to go! :)
Make sure you pull them out of the closet from time to time and check if they’re not drying up, every six months or so. (Depending where you live.) Leather in storage doesn’t dry up as fast as when it’s being used (foot sweat etc.), but it does dry up, so a nice cool storage place and some occasional care helps avoid it.
As for the sperrys, have you tried baby powder or better, a shoe powder? With that kind of shoe, it’s a bit of an uphill battle, but it helps.
I own several barrie & trubalance Aldens. I'm an 11D US on the brannock and take a 10.5D in the barrie. Barrie always fits great in the forefoot but the heel's a bit big. Barrie last is known for a large heel. Sometimes I use a thin leather insole (http://www.amazon.com/Pedag-102-Vegetable-Sheepskin-Slightly/dp/B001E531Z6/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_img_y) for Barrie or Trubalance. Sometimes after break-in the heel settles in for a better fit over time. My old barrie shoes/boots fit better than the new ones. HTH.
It's good to buy a pair of 2inch heels to wear every now and then to get used to them. That way when you want to wear the 4inch ones you are comfortable. But for now, just wear them around the house and vacuum. It's a great way to get used to them. When you walk keep your eyes up and stand up straight. Walk heel to toe! Try to walk on a line to get a good hip movement with your toes slightly pointing out. If your arch isn't touching buy some dr. Scholes heels inserts. They stick to the soul and give you more arch support. Also you must buy a roll of dr.scholes mole skin to cut up some pieces about bandaid size and keep in your purse to put on your skin when you get a blister. You WILL get blisters!

(The ball of foot pad is also good if it hurts there more then your arch)

Are you wearing leather shoes, or synthetic (man-made materials)? I know I have a very difficult time wearing non leather shoes, because my heels will blister terribly. Leather shoes will conform to your shape and stretch to fit your foot, whereas man made materials are much less flexible. There is a notable difference in comfort, and if you are working such long days, it might be better to have fewer pairs of heels that are higher quality. What brands do you typically wear? Another idea is to use a shoe tree in the shoe, such as this one. You can find them at many home stores, as well as sites like Amazon. When you wear a shoe, the heat from your foot can make the material more pliable, allowing it to shape to your foot. When you take it off, it can shrink back to the original size. Using a shoe tree can help it maintain a good shape for your foot. I'd also consider trying shoes half a size or a full size up, and maybe using a gel insert to make the fit mores snug so that it is larger in the heel but still fits everywhere else. Moleskin also makes a great buffer between the heel and the shoe.
Once upon a time my feet were beautiful And for some reason once I hit my late 20's I as getting hard heels and calluses like weeds in a park.
I lotioned and used acid peels. I changed my shoes and literally used a razor to razor off the skin. There was no cure. And "Baby Feet" was a waste of money that ultimately took almost 2 months to stop looking like Parmesan.
So I bought Amopé Pedi Perfect Foot File - Electronic Pedicure Too on Amazon. It's gentle, not very noisy, and takes a little time, but once a week on dry feet I buff up the hard spot and then apply a basic shea butter (like a giant $7 Trader Joe's jar, so nothing fancy, and I have fancy foot bullshit) and put on fuzzy socks and slippers. Which is is about 5 minutes out of my week, it has been the one thing that consistently has kept my feet looking nice. While I can still feel hard spots by the next week, I cannot see dryness or cracking. So as far as looking like pretty feet, this keeps up the act.
I've had success with Spenco RX Comfort Insoles. AE recommended Superfeet when I was in there last, but I used the Spencos for a year with my 1000 Miles, and thought they were great.
I'm debating also trying 3/4 length insoles, which will probably help out when there isn't much room in the toe box, but I need to tighten up around the arch.
Lastly, these Terrycloth insoles and a tongue pad are my go-to's for boat shoes.
There are two items in life you never go cheap on: footwear and a mattress.
Most professionals that stand on their feet that long everyday invest in a solid pair of professional shoes (ie: dansko) as a way to prevent varicose veins, spider veins, foot, ankle, and lower back problems. I cannot overstate the importance of getting good fitting, comfortable shoes. See if there are any custom fit shoe places in your area (ie: Good Feet Store or The Footworks Store) and get properly fitted.
A second recommendation I would have is to get yourself a nice pair of gentle compression stockings. Even as a man I wear them (who lifts up your pants during work and would ever notice them?) and they are a god-send. Dat feeling of taking them off at home never gets old. http://www.amazon.com/Fytto-Style-Travel-Compression-15-20mmHg/dp/B005Z5WDDW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405912950&sr=8-3&keywords=support+stockings
Finally, since you'll be on your feet more and in professional shoes the uncomfortable idea of foot sweat and foot fungus needs to be discussed. When you get out of the shower in the morning, thoroughly dry your feet and in between your toes. I'd recommend spraying some gold-bond foot spray between your toes prior to putting on your socks.
http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Spray-Powder-Fresh/dp/B00B4CYRHA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405913099&sr=8-2&keywords=gold+bond+foot+spray
Been breaking in a new pair of OSB Trench Boots and I'm having a little trouble getting the fit dialed in. They're pretty comfy, but after some decent walking (I live in NYC, so every day = some decent walking) I get a solid blister on my left heel due to slight slippage.
Question: Would a heel pad like this be a good solution?
These ENGO blister prevention patches are a lifesaver. I am seriously surprised that more people on /r/running don't know about them. I had the same problem with blisters after my long runs totally destroying my feet, and everyone on here suggested different socks or new shoes. Not that those aren't good suggestions, but after a couple pairs of shoes and trying all the best socks, nothing was working. These things are really, really great. They also make different shaped ones for your heels.
I had the same problem. I went from high arch to a flat foot and back again. Minimalist shoes and barefoot running were NOT the answer for me. They have a crazy cult following and they may be the answer for some people but not everyone. Everytime I see anyone try to explain that to a barefoot or minimalist runner they just get told that they probably just didn't ease into it enough or their form was wrong. Bunch of bullshit.
Anyways here is what you can do for that arch. Get yourself some arch support. Make sure you're not progressing too fast on your runs. Barefoot or support you always need to make sure you're taking care of your feet and rest is the best medicine. The superfeet arch support soles work by having a layer of hard plastic under the layer of cushioning so it prevents your arch from collapsing every time you step on it.
I also suggest massaging the area frequently. Rolling a golf ball or tennis ball under your foot or using a foam roller will do the trick. Get the calf as well. Keeping it stretched out will help prevent plantar fasciitis too.
Try the [Gold Bond Spray!] (https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Spray-Powder-Fresh/dp/B00B4CYRHA) The only issue is that it does leave residue so it might not be so great for the pits. For all other crevasses though, its fantastic! I was in a wedding a few years back (St. Louis, mid-June, 11am outdoor ceremony), and I bought like 6 cans of the stuff for the bridal party and we used them all that day!
I have also heard that makeup setting spray is good for sweaty pit days. I don't have many makeup setting sprays so I cannot confirm, but its always worth looking into! Plus it might just be one of those things that is good to have around on the big day!
I use the Superfeet Yellow in my skates and I chose to use the Yellow over the CCM because of Superfeet's "warranty" (just make sure the store you buy it from honors it or has something similar, or buy it from Superfeet directly). However, I feel that it doesn't have much padding so much as support in the heel and arch area. If you want padding, I would recommend something like this, plus it is much cheaper. I use that in my hiking boots where I need more padding rather than support.
Wearing without the removal insole is perfectly fine. If you feel like the boots are slightly too big with the insoles, I'm a fan of these insoles because they are thin and the leather molds to your feet nicely:
https://www.amazon.com/Pedag-102-Vegetable-Sheepskin-Slightly/dp/B001E531Z6?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
I bought blister pads on amazon that you stick directly into your shoe (so they're semi-permanent) and they reduce friction thereby preventing blisters. I had a pair of birkenstocks that were comfy except for the fact they rubbed my insole raw, and I put on a couple of these pads and it's been a miraculous improvement.
So if the shoes you end up getting still cause some blisters, I highly recommend the pads!
As for shoes, maybe it's a bit old lady-ish but I really like Naturalizer for comfy work-appropriate shoes. I just find them so much more comfortable than 'younger' brands in the same price range.
Yay! My podiatrist recommended these insoles from Amazon over getting really expensive, custom ones, and they've made a huge difference. Good luck!
I have a pair of shoes or two that fit width and length wise but I have a fair amount of room across the vamp and I think I could benefit from an extra insole. I don’t need an orthotic one so I’m not too certain as to what kind to get. Should it be something like this ? Or should I be on the lookout for something different?
I'm a machinist. Stand on concrete 10+ hours a day. Absolutely love my Thorogood boots. Put in a set of Timberland Pro insoles and now they are even better. Most comfortable boots I've ever had. My feet feel great, even after a 10+ hour shift.

I hate thigh chafe so much. Even this year as I lost weight, I have less chafe but still some. Thick or thin, I can't live without 2Toms Sport Shield. I know I probably sound like an ad, but it seriously works so good. Lasts pretty much all day, doesn't wreck clothes, the bottle lasts a long time. It's the best.
I have these. They're 3.5 inch total boost but come apart. I separated the pieces and have 1 in each of my shoes. I'm not super short but an extra inch boost gives me confidence.
I wear them with converse high tops if you use 1, you don't need a bigger shoe size but 2 gets a little tight and 3 is really tight.
I put them under regular insoles because they're pretty hard and after some time make my feet hurt.

Although this does nothing for finger control, it's amazing for finger strength. Search online for recommended rep/set exercise routines. After using this for a few weeks, I feel that I can stream for longer without failing due to stamina.
A fair warning: If you exercise with this, don't play osu! for around ~12 hours because your fingers will be completely done after using this. It's better to use it before you go to bed.
Okay so I'm a server at a restaurant, and I'm on my feet pretty much all day, every day. I can say without a doubt that any Dr Scholls or similar product is straight trash. You don't want an insole that's just softness for your feet. That's not helping shit. You need something with support. I swear I sound like an ad right now, but hear me out.
These are awesome. The Pinnacle powerstep. They support your feet amazingly and you'll be walking around all day wondering why the fuck you never picked em up sooner.
I have multiple pairs: I have em in my work shoes, I have these in my Chucks, I have these in my ultraboosts ffs, and they feel great in each shoe.
They take some getting used to when you first get them, and you'll feel it in your arches for maybe the first day or two, but after the insole and your foot bend to meet each other halfway you'll be walking on fucking clouds.
If you like preppy shoes, look at penny loafers. You mentioned trouble with boat shoes lasting, though - to make any closed shoe last longer, wear it with no-show socks or terrycloth insoles. Either of those will absorb sweat and so your shoe lining won't deteriorate as quickly. Using cedar shoe trees at night will make them last even longer, and getting two pairs to alternate would be even better. Taking good care of your shoes can really help lengthen their lifespan.
A tip for making the break-in easier is to get some thin insoles. I have these in all three of my Red Wings:
Spenco Rx Comfort Thin Lightweight Cushioning Orthotic Shoe Insole
Get one size higher then the Red Wing size. I wear size 9 Red Wings and got size "Women's 11-12 / Men's 10-11" Spencos and they fit perfect without any trimming.
Insole wise, I highly recommend spending some money on superfeet. I have the green's and I love them.

Have you tried insoles? Generally if i find a pair that are too big, ill put some thick insoles in them and potentially some tongue pads as well.
http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Large-Tongue-Shoes-Adhesive/dp/B0030KSCCA
Good luck, hope that helps.
Why are you planning on buying a boot that from your own description doesn't fit you? Try on other boots to find one that fits you properly. I've heard Scarpa are a bit narrower (I think?) so that might work better for your heel. For context I generally wear a size 9 in most shoes, 8.5 in 5.10 Guide Tennies, and the Nepal Evo in 42 fits me perfectly.
Alternatively if you still really want to get this (ill fitting for you) boot you could try something like these patches, they might fill just enough space in the heel to prevent slippage, but I think you'd be taking an unnecessary risk buying these boots.
EDIT Didn't embed the link properly for the ENGO blister patches that might help with the heel slippage, here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003URZNW0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_35&smid=A3HQ8X1YSFB544
I've seen other similar products too, and I haven't used them so can't speak to how well they'll work, just an idea.
Unless you're like me and have a hairy chest...bandaids always won't stick well and fall off all the time. For runs under 10 miles I've found that 2Toms Sportshield works much better on the nipples than body glide. For long runs over 10 miles I use Nip Guards and they're great!
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12 (womens). Went to a running store and they analyzed my gait, gave me two choices. I think I liked the color better on these. Very scientific, I know. I took out the inserts and use these Superfeet insoles because I have high arches and I want to save my heels the torment. They're absolutely incredible.
If it doesn't irritate your eczema you could try wearing some Gold Bond powder or powder spray on your feet every day. There are also Odor Eaters shoe insoles that help with the smell. There are tons of other foot odor products out there that could help. Just try some until you find something you like.
Brannock Size: 11.5 A
Additional notes about feet: Low instep, skinny ankles, Greek toe box, low foot volume
Allen Edmonds 97 Last: 11.5 A is a perfect fit. I also have a pair in 11.5 B and they're a bit loose in terms of overall volume, but definitely wearable.
Nisolo: (they don't give details on lasts) 11 D, with SuperFeet DELUX insoles (size large). The length of the shoes is good, but they are on a relatively high-volume last, so I need the insoles to prevent heel slippage.
I use Merrells as well, but needed a bit more support so I added Green Superfeet inserts. They definitely helped me with preventing a recurrence of plantar fasciitis during 3rd year.
I just bought three pairs of these heel grips and lined the back and sides of my oxfords with them. My half-size-too-big shoes now fit! They're pretty cheap (but you do need to buy them with something else since Amazon is now doing that add-on item thing), so I think it's worth a shot.
Also, don't get like $10 Dr.Scholls inserts from Walmart. Superfeet insoles are the best I've ever tried, and I can move them between pairs of shoes.
P.S. Matt Bomer is awesome
Why is this better than pedag terry-cloth insoles?
http://www.amazon.com/Pedag-196-Washable-Barefoot-Womens/dp/B001G0NSV6/
I got a pair last year and they were wonderful. Bought three more for this year.
Edit to add that the ones I bought last year are still in great shape. Also, while the AMZ link shows Women's, they come in multiple sizes.
What insoles are you using? I started using SuperFeet (https://www.amazon.com/Superfeet-GREEN-Full-Length-Insole/dp/B002T0072U?th=1&psc=1) last year after battling plantar fasciitis for a bit (I'm flat-footed), and these worked WONDERS. My pain is 100% gone. My back feels a bit better too.
On top of that, use Oofos (https://www.amazon.com/OOFOS-OOAHH-Unisex-Sandal-MASSAGER/dp/B0155I7GT4/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1511798338&sr=1-2-spons&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=oofos&psc=1) around your house. They're ugly as sin, but incredibly comfortable and provide support. Combine the two, barely walk around without arch support, and you'll be in good shape.
Sorry for the link gore.
on the off chance that anyone reads this wondering how things worked out, I find that the shoes fit perfecltly with thicker socks, or very thin socks and a thin insole (this one). Actually, the insole makes them fit a little tight, even with thin socks. I definitely think sizing up was the right move.
These finger strengtheners are a great gift for musicians (especially guitar and bass players) as they work each finger individually and also double as stress relievers: http://www.amazon.com/Strengthener-Exerciser-Athletes-Musicians-Climbers/dp/B00JVR21FU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1450456380&sr=8-3&keywords=finger+strengthener+musicians
Here are my fits with my loafers on d.so: http://dressed.so/item/view/53cbeb131ed60
I find them to be really versatile, actually. I wore them all through the spring with no socks (with shoe liners) and they are much more comfortable in warm weather than boots, obviously. I'd have to see specific fits to know for sure, but it sounds like you should be able to wear them easily. I think loafers used to have more of an old-lady connotation, but they are quite fashionable at the moment.
I made a loafer album with a variety of styles for someone ages ago--maybe something will strike your fancy: http://imgur.com/a/qY5Da
Great first race! I highly recommend these blister pads before your next race. Just pop one in your shoe in the location of your blister from this race. They work miracles!
How do you plan to train between this race and the next one?
There is nothing wrong with have svelte ankles! (That is what I tell myself anyway.)
I use tongue pads to get a good fit with high volume boots. Tongue pad example on Amazon. They stick inside the tongue and let you get more lace pressure on your instep in situations like yours.
You can make your own once you sort out your needs as well.

Well done! /r/running recommended Sport shield to me. It is glorious for longer runs.
Is it the top seams rubbing you? If it is, moleskin!!! It seriously saved a pair of sandals that were ripping up my ankles (I went home bleeding one night). I got these patches because they were self-adhesive, but if I were doing it again, I probably wouldn't go for the bright blue, since it made it a lot more necessary to trim them very precisely!
I think everyone else put it well, there are plenty of short cis men. Last night at the bar I was lol'ing and comparing myself to all the short cis dudes around me. You have to remember that confidence plays a big part in others' perception of you. Stand up straight and look people in the eye. Also, something I'm thinking about grabbing are shoe inserts that apparently can give you up to 2.8 extra inches which is kinda wild. Here's the link.
super easy, not messy, water proof, sweat proof, can use it anywhere. ive used it for the last 9 years of coachella.

I have a pair of boots coming later this week. Although I am hopefully wrong, I am thinking there is a chance they will be a little too big. I have been looking into insoles in case I need to buy a pair. I assume leather would be prefered because it wouldn't trap moisture between the (real) insole/midsole and the new insole I am inserting. However, many of the ones I am seeing (example) are apparently only around 1.5mm-2mm thick. And likely flatten after wearing for a while. For people who find themselves with shoes a half size too big, do leather insoles help at all? Or would I need to be looking to thicker insoles like this or this?
As far as shoes go, I have the same thing going on with the super narrow heel and normal width forefoot, and what I end up doing in almost all heels/flats is adding one of these padded heel grips to the back of each shoe which simultaneously improves the fit and creates a buffer from any irritation from the back of the shoe itself.
I also love and highly recommend these. Moleskin is another option.
Have you tried these particular inserts? http://www.amazon.com/Pedag-Stop-Padded-Leather-Grips/dp/B004BD71JK
I find that they seem to be pretty much permanently attached to the shoe. The adhesive is extremely strong, they don't fall out.
The best anti-chafing product I've found is 2Toms. It's basically like a roll on liquid deodorant...put it on where needed.
These have been great so far. Helps fill a little volume and adds a bit of cushioning.

I use heel liners to make shoes that are just a bit too big fit me. I have a big package of these that work great:

Sorry, I just need to confirm that's the side of your big toe? If it is, is the bump soft or is it firm? If it's firm, you might be developing a bunion of some sort, but regardless, it's probably because of rubbing against the side of your skate. If you feel inside your skate, where the toe cap meets the rest of the boot, there will probably a noticeable ridge or noticeable stitches or rough spot. That's probably what your foot is rubbing against. It's probably only on one foot because one foot is always larger than the other, so stuff like this often only happens to one foot. It's either been happening slowly, and you haven't noticed, or as the skate ages, the foams inside will compress, making the skate more roomy, so now there's room for your foot to move around enough to do that.
If that is indeed the problem, its an easy fix. Just add some padding to the skate. The bump may or may not go away. I've used heel blister pads to pad rough spots like that in my skates. Just cut to size and use the self adhesive to stick to the skate. You can also just put some padding over your foot instead.

They were recommended by my PT who says Dr Scholls are pretty much worthless, and they definitely help way more.
True bliss is when you discover Gold Bond Spray
I use these. I am normally a 10.5 C but some lasts and styles dont come in those so if I get a D I have to use theses, just enough to make the shoe fit really well.
Hmm. I’d never heard of these but now I’m bummed they don’t work. I did just order these inserts on amazon and am using them for the first time today. So far I think I like them! But time will tell.
Depends ... I have one pair of shoe lift which is adjustable. Like this
2 layers and the insole is kinda comfortable,you don't feel muchh.that's how I wear them with my high top sneakers mostly.but with stiff boots like timberland 6 inches,I find I can use all the layers.however it's kinda uncomfortable to wear them a long period of time and you can't run or walk fast with them..you only can walk at a normal speed.but be careful cause a wrong step can twist your ankle.like a bump on the land.also you have to cover up your ankle with your jeans,because of the shoe lift your leg is on an angle and your ankle is where your calf should be.you have to lace it tight to prevent the shoe from falling which can be painful after few hours.I would recommend you would buy just an adjustable one and try which suits you. it's kinda painful but to me the confidence boot when I'm towering over another guy or girl I feel worth it so much
Have you tried heel inserts, like these?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I5CC2G/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_clx0tb1X53PN36KJ
They help really well with women's shoes that slip off, not to mention save a bunch of bucks.
Engo patches are the bomb! Disclaimer: they may be masking a more serious problem (e.g., form, bad shoes, ramping up to quick) but if it's just that one spot, might be worth a try...good luck!
I used to get blisters under the arch on my one foot. Here are some things that really made a difference for me:
I also used to have a pair of Newtons with a really wide toe box and noticed I was getting more blisters with them. Switched to a shoe that was a bit narrower and that seemed to make a difference too. So as others have said, make sure the shoes fit and are laced well.
I’m sorry, I sweat wayyy to much for Bodyglide to work on me. After 6 miles it rubs off and I either have to apply more every couple miles or just give up and let the chafe take place. I don’t like running with extra weight in my water pack. So I use 2Toms Sportshield. It’s the only thing that’s gotten me through 14+ miles without chafing. It’s super waterproof and sweat proof. And it doesn’t leave any weird film/rubbery feeling on you like TriSlide does. I do my research. Yes, I’ve tried 3 brands. But use what works for you. I suggest 2Toms for all over your body. 2Toms Amazon link
My mom went to the podiatrist for plantar fasciitis and he recommended going to a Shoe box store to get some in-soles. The people there recommended "superfeet green" insoles and my mom bought some alongside merrells. I tried them out as well and felt so good that I bought a pair for myself as well.
I second this! I use a product similar to bodyglide (this), and it works like a charm. I haven't experienced any chafing while using it!
Dat knurl wrecks my hands, so I bought one of these for weekly maintenance. It does a really nice job if you actually remember to use it. Also, lotion.
Back when I used to not telework I would just go down to the lab and help myself to some emery cloth. We stocked everything from 120 to 1200 grit.
I bought these for a pair of shoes that were on an incredible sale and were a bit large for me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RYLG9I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
They make it OK.
But I would suggest getting your size and/or getting a wider shoe if your size is too narrow. Specially in "investment" pieces like CP.
This is by far the best powder to eliminate smell in your footwear:
https://www.amazon.com/SENSE-Natural-Smelly-Foot-Powder/dp/B00O2DQO4C
I use it in my skates, sneakers, and work shoes every time they start to get a little stinky. Using too much leads to a weird paste build-up inside, but they definitely don't stink, and they keep my work backpack from getting too funky.
If your heel completely slides out of it when you walk, then I would go down a half size and see what that is like.
Another option is to get tongue inserts to stick to the inside of the tongue, this makes the shoe fit "tighter" and prevents heel slippage. Here's a link
That's cool. Do you mean some medicated stuff for athletes foot or any type of foot spray like this stuff.
I've bought these stickers, and they do not leave any residue. I do peel them off right after I'm done with them though.
These.
http://www.amazon.com/ENGO-Blister-Prevention-Patches-Count/dp/B003URZNW0
I used to get blisters on my heels every single time I went hiking. I haven't gotten a blister there since. They're just stickers that you put in the inside of your shoe at the affected area. The sticker is slippery, so there's no friction on the skin, and no blister. And they have a money back guarantee. This is the only thing that ever worked for me and it was a perfect solution. (I'm also a sweaty beast)

Just towel your hands off and spray a new coat every changeover. It should work like a charm.
Regarding the blisters: You're gonna need more pokeballs, so you can't wait weeks for them to totally heal!
So here's what you do:
It depends on the outfit for me. If it was cold or I didn't want my ankles exposed, I'd wear some taller black socks. If I wanted my ankle to be exposed, I'd go for a boat shoe sock (like this style). I like the boat sock style a lot because it has a little more material on the fore foot, so I find they stay on my feet better. It also helps to find some that have a bit of silicone in the heel. Another option are washable shoe liners.
spray powder summer is coming. We finally found some around here but it was methol flavored. That's not refreshing near your sensitive areas. That's all i am saying lol
I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight
Thanks for contest and the doctor shout out ;)
Try applying some moleskin padding to the leather. It won't compromise the leather like heat or water will, and it'll protect your feet while you're still breaking them in.
Well you could take a picture and not look at it.
How short are you? You could do what Tom Cruise supposedly does..... wear Elevator Shoes or Elevator Shoe Insole Lifts ,which can make you 3 inches taller.
The fuckoff signal might be because she knows you aren't confident in yourself. True confidence (not fake bravado) in a guy is usually an aphrodisiac to women. That is what is usually happening when you see ugly men with drop dead gorgeous women. (Money helps too.)
That signal could be many things other than you are ugly as hell. You could be giving off a creepy vibe without knowing it. Honestly, unless a guy looks like Quasimodo, most can find someone to love them.
Speaking of money, do you have a good job? Security is important to women too. That is why ugly doctors/lawyers have no problem getting hot women.
Running shorts with the built in liner are all I run in with zero issues. Also, Sport Shield works great for preventing chafing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CJX1UY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9tpPybXM1162Z

Your feet will be in heaven. Superfeet will make a MASSIVE difference standing on concrete. I have the exact same above setup for working as a Realtor. On my feet all day long (showing homes and open houses) and my feet are always cozy and comfy!
It is a cheap thing, but perhaps these will help? if not, try to get sandals or open heeled shoes.

Sorry I don't know which ones I have been using. I went to the Alden of Madison store while wearing the longwings and after chatting a bit about sizing they gave them to me. Good guys at that store.
They kinda look like these. https://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Large-Tongue-Shoes-Adhesive/dp/B0030KSCCA
Forget gel inserts. I'm on my feet all day on concrete and the best thing I've ever used is the Timberland Pro Anti-Fatigue. They are genuinely amazing for what you're doing. Here's the link: Timberland PRO Men's Anti Fatigue Technology Replacement Insole,Orange,Large/10-11 M US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009R9EJO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lI.Dzb0VZ0ZMZ
S U P E R F E E T. I know they're pricey, but they're SO worth it--I couldn't have made it through a year of scribing without them.
It's not a "heel" insert. It's a foot insert - runs the entire length of the shoe and is removable so you can remove them and wash em. I have wide feet and the shoe is quite wide so there is sufficient space for me to put [Pedag] (https://www.amazon.com/Pedag-Washable-Barefoot-US-38/dp/B001G0NSV6?th=1) terry cloth inserts in them. I wash the terry cloth inserts weekly (and leave in the insoles in Moku's) the terry cloth inserts last me the summer. The Mokus have a nice open mesh so they breath really well so my feet don't sweat too much. Now I also have a pair of [SeaVees] (https://www.seavees.com/collections/mens-standards/products/mens-army-issue-low-olive) Army Issue. These don't breathe very well so my feet sweat like crazy in the SeaVees.
Actually, a pedi file is fantastic

It's those pedo files you gotta watch out for
Couple years ago I was looking into this same topic since my regular vegan deodorant just wasn't cutting it. Basically I ended up looking for something with a good amount of zinc oxide powder and no aluminum (it's what stains your shirts). I've been using this foot powder as a whole-body deodorant solution. Don't laugh, shit works marvelously and it prevents fungal issues on the feet and groin too.
Maybe try an insole? I hear good things about Powerstep and I personally use Superfeet which has helped my overpronation.
Yes that’s the tongue pad. Depending on nature of the issue you could also slap a big piece on moleskin on the heel.
Dr. Scholl's Moleskin Plus Padding Roll 1 Each https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007W9MGLI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3w2IDb2DTCWXE
I have ordered these www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033BPBD4/ Will see if that helps.
>That being said how long ago did you purchase the boots? I believe they have a 30 day comfort guarantee.
I ordered these from domesticdomestic not Red Wing directly. And I have worn these outsides, so ethically not a very good thing to do by returning now.
I have the same problem with 11.5/12's. I buy 12D's and put these on the underside of the tongue, which stops the heel slip/squeak.
Ideally, though, you should buy a narrower shoe. 12B's fit me perfectly, they're just hardly ever available for anything but full price and are usually custom order.
Seconding this! I really like [Pedag's Padded Leather Heel Grips] (https://www.amazon.com/Pedag-Stop-Padded-Leather-Grips/dp/B004BD71JK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469463023&sr=8-1&keywords=pedag+heel+insert). They also help out when your flats are just a little bit too small (to keep them from slipping).
For the heel grips, I swear by Foot Petals which I usually buy at Target. They don't come unstuck like gel ones always do to me, and they're very comfortable.
my orthopedist said these were as good as the expensive/custom ones in his office: https://www.amazon.com/Powerstep-Pinnacle-Orthotics-U-Blue-Mens/dp/B000KPKMX0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495764667&sr=8-1&keywords=pinnacle+powerstep now i see them at high end runners stores. i've had them for years after getting plantar faciitis, never had it again after using them. that being said, once your foot starts swimming inside a court shoe, it's over ~ time to buy a new shoe. i just take the new shoe insole out and replace it with the one i linked.
Slight tangent...I hiked in Lone Peak 2.5s last summer and will likely be replacing them with 3.5s soon. I picked up a pair of Altra Instinct 4's a couple months back for street running and found that the heels rubbed, causing blisters to start forming. The lining on the inside heel of the shoe was actually wearing through. I checked out the 3.5's and they seem have the same heel design (pushing forward more than the 2.5s). If you happen run into a similar issue with the 3.5s, Engo blister patches completely resolved the problem. I highly recommend always having these on hand.

The Ped Egg, the Pedi Perfect, and the like are way too expensive. I use a Stanley Surform Pocket Plane instead. If you want something that scrapes lighter, a 6 pound bag of Char-Broil Lava Rock is much cheaper than a single Aisilk Earth Lava Pumice Stone.
Washable insertable insoles like these!
I highly recommend foot petals.
Tongue pads should help you. I use them in my Pennies.
I’d consider something like these or these, as long as the shoes aren’t currently too tight, as they’ll take up a bit of room.
You could try washable insoles like these, instead of no-show socks
I've used these types: http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Large-Tongue-Shoes-Adhesive/dp/B0030KSCCA
I recommend getting a medium one.
Try insoles, as well as pads at the back to stop heel slippage. Like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Pedag-Stop-Padded-Leather-Grips/dp/B004BD71JK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1346869926&sr=1-1
Spenco insoles last really well. You might try putting these in something.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S6GBI6
These ones worked well.
What are you using them for though? Tongue pads and heel pads have different purposes.
Instead of using those frustrating socks, I have two pairs of these.
They're washable and easily slip in and out of different pairs of shoes. That way I don't ruin my flats but don't have to bother with socks!
I always make sure to bring bandaids and neosporin. Someone inevitably gets a cut or a blister and needs to cover it to keep dirt and grime out of it. Also, last year I learned about Moleskin which was really cool to help with blisters.
I'm thinking of using a tongue pad to tighten the area between the top laces and my calf: https://amzn.com/B0030KSCCA

This stuff kept me from quitting so many times.
Sorry, this has become a monstrous post but humoring a friend who wanted to start walking has changed my life. She quit and I kept going. I faltered, dropped out and then came back to it and can't tell you the pride my 5k and 10k medals bring me. Not to mention the 70 pound weight loss that came with them.
My biggest advice would be to be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up with unattainable goals and don't judge yourself by what others are doing. More than anything, just get out there and do it.
I've used these from Amazon.
Try some tongue pads, you can get them from any shoe repair place or on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Large-Tongue-Shoes-Adhesive/dp/B0030KSCCA
They stick to the inside of the tongue and push your foot further back in the shoe. Should do the trick if you don't plan on sizing down.
I don't wear socks ever, and finally discovered [Gold Bond Spray] (http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Spray-Powder-Fresh/dp/B00B4CYRHA) after ages of trying not to make a mess with powders. Game changer, spray my feet and go.
Pedag Heel Grips
I use these on a pair of slip ons that I have trouble keeping on. They work perfect. Not sure what color your shoes are but these blend into mine.
My boyfriend has a hammer toe pinky and he puts these on his shoe where it rubs and it prevents the holes
I just found this to help with the scraped ankles. I don't know if it will work though :/
Gold Bond now makes a spray. No mess, plus its easier to get into those hard to reach crevices. Your grundle will thank you
http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Spray-Powder-Fresh/dp/B00B4CYRHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368149509&sr=8-1&keywords=gold+bond+spray
I'm size 10 US in Nike Free Run 5.0, and my Romaleos are size 9 US. My toes are touching the toebox, my foot is 27.5 cm long, while Romaleos 9 US are 27 cm, but my heel still slip a little bit. I have narrow foot, and these heel grips solved that problem.
I've actually had this problem with running shoes, and it was easily solved by attaching some moleskin to the offending area of the shoe.
Example
I alternate between spraying mine with gear spray (vodka, Febreeze, tea tree oil is my preferred blend) and using this foot powder: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O2DQO4C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I can't wear socks with my skates, so they used to smell TERRIBLE. Like, I couldn't stand to have them in the car with me, they only went in the trunk. Now, they're definitely smelly if you stick your nose up in them, but you can't smell them if you're just within a couple feet.
Consider your insoles as well, they don't just offer support. If wet footwear is a common thing, get insoles that aren't like sponges, that tend to collapse and reduce function when wet.. If you need the extra cushion, look for gel, instead of foam, gel won't retain water. Superfeet have a pretty high track record with thru-hikers.
I found this thing at Amazon a few months ago, and my feet have never looked better:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE99PA2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fuck the athletic tape. Just use this stuff. https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Scholls-Moleskin-Padding-Count/dp/B007W9MGLI/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1526522185&sr=8-2&keywords=mole+skin
Stick it to the parts of your feet that rub against your boots, heel, big toe, second toe if you've got freaky feet. It's peel and stick and takes like 2.2 seconds to put on before you put on your socks. You can cut it to whatever shape you want to fit your foot better, but you don't need to be that accurate for it to work.
Powerstep Pinnacle
I often have to put these stick on heel cushions in the back of my flats. Apparently they're meant for narrow-heeled-people.

A quick search on Amazon shows they are! I've never used them myself. Just saw them suggested here at some point
Washable Terry Cloth insoles, in place of wearing no-show socks.
These are similar to what I wear.
I have them and was able to add these. They were snug but not overly tight.
I just ordered these from Amazon. They should be here tomorrow. I ordered black/39. I'll let you know how they workout!
They have terrycloth inserts for that.
They also sell insoles that you can use: https://www.amazon.com/Pedag-196-Washable-Barefoot-Womens/dp/B001G0NSV6
These are the ones I use.
Thicker socks and insoles. It's also possible to fill up some volume with a tongue pad.
You should have gone with the size 41 and put a tongue pad in the left one. One of my feet is 1/2 a size bigger than the other and this works perfectly.
Nothing you can do about shoes that are too small I'm afraid.
You could try tongue pads.
The blisters are being caused by friction. If two socks don't work for you, try these stickers designed to be put inside the shoe where the blisters occur. They're basically really slippery so there won't be friction against your skin causing blisters:
http://www.amazon.com/Blister-Prevention-Patches-Runners-Athletes/dp/B003URZNW0
I got the exact same blisters due to my shoes' insoles getting jagged edges. Here's what fixed it for me (YMMV):
