For those of you that are unaware or just don't give a shit, these are the Stinger Spikes by Jeffrey Campbell. As you can see, they are fucking fabulous but also dangerous as hell. However, the spikes are not what I am battling against: These fuckers pinch like nothing else. I could do the grown up thing and put it down to the fact I went half a size down when buying them, but instead I feel as though I really should just be blaming the shoe.
The battle that I am fighting is the said pinching. I am sure it will do away if I break these bad boys in, but I will have to suffer through the breaking in process, and I am thoroughly terrified of the prospect. Currently, myself and the shoes are neck and neck, it's anyone's game at this point. I refuse to give up on hope, I bought nine new pairs of socks in anticipation for wearing these and I'm not going to let that slip away from me.
I've also had to curb my habit of sitting with my legs under me, because if I do that while wearing these, things start to happen. Deadly, dangerous things.
These shoes are excellent in all the areas I didn't quite expect them to be: They're super easy to walk in (if you ignore the searing pain from the pinching) and the spikes don't fall out. So snaps to JC for that.
But yeah currently I am glaring at the shoes from my position at the computer screen. It's getting a lot accomplished, I assure you.
