These are my everyday shoes, they were a bit weird to walk in at first but I got used to them in probably two ish days. I got the docs from journeys at my local mall, I got them a half size bigger then my size (I’m 6 1/2 men’s so I got a 7 in men’s). Here’s the shoes . The inserts I got off amazon, they have blocks to chose your height. Here are the inserts . Let me know if you have questions! Just thought I’d share:)
Many people put a squishy make up sponge under the gore for a few days to weeks while the bra gets ‘broken in’. It just takes a little wear for the wires to soften up a little/ adjust to your body.
Another option that I’ve used are little sticky heel pads that are meant to go on the back of shoes to stop your heel rubbing and getting blisters. They are very soft and pretty comfy. I just cut them smaller and stuck them on the gore covering the wire. The sticky quickly wears off, but I’ve found the bra keeps it in place fine.
Now now, they're called Lifts.
Must play in 2" cleats. I got the heights from Madden. NFL.com draft profile is 5'9", NFL.com profile is 5'10", wikipedia is 5'11". When you learn Fangio likes taller corners, you adapt.

If cost is your concern, you might want to rethink - You'll need bigger shoes to fit the volume of the lifts plus your foot in them.
There are garment/suit bags that attach to a rear rack.

I've never tried any of them, so I can't comment on how well they work, but it might be worth a shot. I'd be really interested in how they work out for you if you give it a try.
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.
Im a doctor, obviously nothing I say here replaces what your doctor says and you should go to them with any/all concerns, seriously. No internet advice replaces actually seeing a doctor in person. But to make you feel a bit better in the short term:
In terms of the frequency of pooping, if that is your baseline # of poops a day for a long time it is unlikely to be worrisome. Everyone has their "set point," but it shouldn't be accompanied by any of the following:
-pain with defecation
-alternating frequency (i.e. if its 4-5 x a day for a few days, then nothing for a week, 4-5x a day again, etc)
-blood in the bowel movements
-loose stools (they should generally be well formed)
-change in the size of your stool (i.e. it used to be thick but now is the width of a pencil, etc)
-abdominal pain or rectal pain/urgency relieve with defecation
-really any known autoimmune disease
thats off the top of my head. Again, ask your doctor to evaluate. This is just to make you feel better in the moment.
​
In terms of the sweat, unless there is itching, pain or redness with it it is likely just sweat. Literally. Some people just sweat more. If you have any other symptoms besides wetness go see your doc, or even if you cant get a good look just go see your doc, they will take a look. If it has been a chronic issue unlikely to be an infection (would have gotten bad enough to make you go to the doctor). Main things to do are:
-Wear cotton/breathable underwear
-Use drying powders (baby powder)
-Use drying spray. I assume you'd rather order from amazon, here is a link for something that should work. https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Absorbing-Relieving-Mess-Free/dp/B00J2V3IOI/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=body%2Bsweat%2Bspray&qid=1571240756&sr=8-4&th=1
MAJOR NOTE: NOT MEANT TO BE SPRAYED INTERNALLY, JUST ON THE PART OF YOUR CRACK WHERE YOUR BOOTY SKIN "TOUCHES EACH OTHER." DONT GET THE ONE WITH MENTHOL IN IT...THAT WILL BURN
​
Hope this helps. Again, lawyers would tell me to say that this is NOT official advice. See your doctor if you have any concerns.

Protip: use www.zocdocs.com to find a doctor in any specialty who will take your insurance
I think I figured it out
Dang. Didn't know these were a thing.
https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Tall-Instant-Shoe-Lifts/dp/B00BTHPKDA
I should get these and see how much more attention I get from women. I'm 5'8" and that's been like, the only discrimination I've faced my entire life :)
Put the bo pep on backwards, logo up. You can also consider making your own support from adhesive moleskin, which you can also put on top of the bo pep for added comfort. The sticky part is not harmful to the flute. I've also seen some flutists cut rubber pencil grips in half the long way, creating a square of rubber that has a bend to it which clamps onto the flute without adhesive.
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.
I highly recommend foot petals.
The standard comfortable heel recommendation on FFA is the Corso Como Del. I tried it on and I fell between sizes because I have the same issue you have (6.5 slips off my heel and a 6 squeezes my toes.). I recommend, if you have a Nordstrom nearby, to go try a pair on and see if they work for your feet.
Since they didn't work for my feet so I ended up purchasing Chinese Laundry Area. The point is more subtle so it isn't outdated and they don't fall off the edge of my heel or squeeze my toes. (though I do sometimes still get minor rubbing so I use moleskin)
Another option is to get a cobbler to stretch out the toe box or do it yourself. I know this will work with leather, and I've heard the you can also do it with patent leather (though patent leather might show "stretched" areas).
I use these. Helps my flat feet a lot. I believe they are on sale for 10% off on amazon right now
These are what I use : link
Stable and you can remove layers of the plastic to adjust to whatever height you want.
I often have to put these stick on heel cushions in the back of my flats. Apparently they're meant for narrow-heeled-people.
Not what you asked, but have you tried heel grips?
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.
Thorogood Gen-Flex 6-Inch Lace-Toe Composite Work Boot, Black Leather, 9.5 W US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KJEX8Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-tm2Bb0KVMFNN
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_i_-um2BbAAZ5PXM
I cannot stand having my toes squished, so when faced with those two options I go with loose in the heel and use heel grips to help out. I really prefer leather flats as after breaking in a properly fitting pair you won't have either of those problems.
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.
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.
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

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).
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.
It's a wart.

Try shoe lifts. They'll take up room in your shoes, so if you have a pair that's too big you could try fitting two pairs in one to get the 5 inches.
You'll need some Vibram half soles and Barge cement (the original cement is better, but it can only be bought in 32oz containers) from Amazon.

someone either stuck on DIY or had put on for them a vibram sole protector/ half sole. I have found those the easiest to DIY; they wear well and they are cheapish on amazon
I cant believe no one has mentioned these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000I5CC2G?cache=31771b0ede99d81b5d794c2c14bf8b2f&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1410920714&sr=8-2#ref=mp_s_a_1_2
I use them in all of my flats and I've had no problems.

Edit: these are just the ones I use. I picked them literally because they showed up first on Amazon and had the editor choice thing, so I'm there's better options out there. I've grown used to them, but they aren't as comfortable as my shoes would be without them. They are ergonomic though, so I think it's fine.
There is this stuff called Mole Skin that you could use to protect the area. I am in a similar position at the moment, but I am just wearing them around the house to break them in. Seems to be working.
I hate wedges as a look in general, so I'm already biased towards #2. I also think #2 generally matches the details and color of the dress (which is very pretty). If you're worried about cobblestones, I'd get these to put on your shoes when you're outside.
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.

Hope this helps
Yup! Not just shoes, but inserts you can add to the shoes you already wear. I wear orthopedic insoles that happen to add about an inch (but also make my shoes much comfier, highly recommend) but you can buy shoe inserts for less than $10 that will be comfy and add a few inches of height to whatever shoes you’re wearing. I haven’t tried these specifically so I can’t vouch for them but something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GM5LS3E/
There are a few hybrid holsters out there that come with suede backing on the leather (hidden hybrid holster, firearm holsters, etc). I've never actually looked to apply anything to the front of the kydex on these holsters.
I have spent some time trying some different things on the back of full kydex holsters like those from pjholster. I've played with 3M safety walk indoor outdoor anti-slip tread (it's a bit thick but rubberized), skateboard tape, a rubberized grip tape sold on amazon, and even mole skin. I'll probably try that suede next. The others have worked - it helps it cling onto my side/shorts a bit more so that it doesn't feel like it's pulling my pants down quite as easily, but I'm not completely happy with any of them.
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.

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.
I had it for about 2 years, finally getting rid of it a couple of summers ago. At times, it was a real bitch. At other times, not so much. But it was ALWAYS there in the morning.
Granted, I continued running through it, so maybe that's why it lingered for so long, but a lot of what I read said that it's hard to completely 'rest' it since you're on your feet all day long.
I think what finally got me over the hill with healing was being completely OCD about strengthening my foot muscles/calves and stretching them.
Eccentric calf raises everyday, roll the fascia with a golf ball under my desk multiple times a day, frozen water ball too. Stretching the calf muscles everyday and a lot of single leg balancing type of things on the bad foot to strengthen the foot (close eyes, balance on the one foot, use the boso ball too add difficulty).
I also put those superfeet green insoles (https://www.amazon.com/Superfeet-Premium-Shoe-Insoles-Green/dp/B0032ALZL8) into my running shoes, about $40. I think they helped, as they coincided with my recovery. I also put these spenco insoles into my everyday work and walking around shoes (https://www.amazon.com/Spenco-Comfort-Insoles-Womens-9-10/dp/B000S6JTMQ/ref=sr_1_6?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1467148604&sr=1-6&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=insoles)
Basically I think once you get this injury, it's not going to go away quick like a lot of other aches and pains do with this sport. But if you don't let it get way out of hand, you can continue to run through it.
If you have any specific questions, fire away. I unfortunately know way too much about this injury that I hope to never need for myself again.
There are a ton of options available to bike commuters.
I wear a suit to work every day and I bike commute all the time in the summer. I started of off with a set of panniers similar to this one, which allows me to put my suit and shirt in there and they come out fine. Note, I am not endorsing this product, because I haven't used it, I just had something similar.
A few months ago my SO bought me this bag and it is amazing. Similar idea to the panniers except it is worn as a backpack.
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.
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.
https://www.amazon.com/Deodorizer-Deodorant-Athletes-Bacteria-Antiperspirants/dp/B00B0N281A
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.
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
I'm not really either. If you really want to go with traditional heels but are afraid of sinking into the ground, they make some clearplastic heel covers that are supposed to prevent heels from sinking into the ground! My ceremony is outdoors so I think I am going to do a test run with something like this.
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.

It's actually a "fixable" thing(as you say). So is your mental illness if you go see a shrink, Christie.

My understanding is that any rubber sole added will do (cobblers usually have their own in stock) but I got these ones and had them put on. It was either this or a mini-lug one... I went with this for profile.
I don't have any suggestions on shoes, but I have high arches and have started putting inserts in most of my shoes, and my feet are MUCH happier for it. Superfeet make good ones (the different colors correspond to different profiles/levels of support), and I also found good ones at my local sports shoe store that are cheaper and have held up well.

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:

I've been using the Fastlift 335 (oly shoes) for 3 years now. Solid and comfortable quality weightlifting shoes. Effective heel is a bit on the low side, but you can use this
https://www.amazon.com/Clearly-Adjustable-Large-Women-10-1/dp/B001TLCZG6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1
to obtain your desired height.
For their general cross training shoes, you can check " as many reviews as possible " on youtube to find a good review of the new F-Lite 235 v3 to get an idea of how they compare to Metcons and Nanos.
you can always try washing your shoes in the washing machine. I'll have a problem like this in the summers sometimes. I have recovered bad shoes to OK status by using these 2 things: Gold Bond Foot spray and Anti-Icky Poo
I think my socks have been the problem. New socks are better than old beat up ones
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.
Would something like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Heavenly-Heelz-Slvr-Btrcup-Triple-Pack/dp/B000I5CC2G/ref=sr_1_2?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1422748517&sr=1-2&keywords=shoe+heel+pads) work?
I used a garment bag pannier by Nashbar that worked great. Mounted it to my rear rack and changed at the office. My clothes always came as crisp as they were when I put them in.
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.
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.
This stuff works pretty good
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B0N281A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Our entire family of flatfeet swear by these
Another chime in for foot powder This works pretty well
This is the stuff to get, man. Sometimes if my shoes start smelling I'll hit them with a spray or two inside as well, or some gold bond foot powder.
My god this is starting to sound like an advert... But I swear, it works.
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.
I got a box of these on Amazon. Nothing exceptional, but it's serviceable if you need to gain a quarter size.
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.
Yes, the extra heel height definitely helps. I was squatting in converse + 5 lb plates underneath before I got the Adipowers. With the adipowers, I can't even squat the bar without tipping over. I tried the adipowers with 5 lb plates underneath and it immediately improved my form so that must mean something.
So since I haven't gotten a conclusive answer, I decided to buy these heel lifts that I've read over at r/weightlifting. They are 0.5 inch adjustable heel inserts and I'll be getting them tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes. With this, the effective heel height of my adipowers should be 1.25 inches from the original 0.75".
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.
Hmmm, thanks man. I'm debating between WODlifts and these right now, but I'm erring towards the latter just because they are less expensive and because I have wide feet and my shoes are already quite snug.
Maybe there isn't, I haven't looked much. Guess I want shoes lift with a pair of shoes that adds 1".
I'd get 3" added to my height with these 2" shoe lifts

I just bought a Nashbar Garment bag Pannier from Amazon. It should be here today, so I will try to remember to check in next week to report on how it did for me.

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.

My sperrys were getting pretty smelly so I was trying a bunch of deodorizers. The best one I tried so far is This one from Rocket Pure. The other ones I tried was one from Dr Scholls and the MFA recommended gold bond foot powder.

I've been wearing these for a year or so now and they've worked like a charm for me. Really comfortable, and with moderately thick shoes they'll give you about two extra inches, perfect amount for me.
Assuming you are in the US, they sell wart removal kits like this in the medicine/pharmacy area of most supermarket stores like Public/Kroger/Walmart/target/etc. Dr. scholls makes a plantar wart remover which should also be sold in the same area.
A cursory glance at Amazon shows you can buy medical freezing spray but I don't know if it would be best for this situation. Looked like a large output and would potentially freeze larger areas than you would want; however, there were many options and I just looked at one.

this has good reviews, just look around google and amazon for other options.
I think the people that make Fresh Balls(lotion that drys into a powder and stops swamp balls) make a foot version too.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! You're smart to be prepared! While I don't have great advice (your backup plan sounds great!), I will say to just have fun with it. The weather is out of your control, so try not to worry about things you can't control. You're marrying the love of your life! You won't even notice the rain when it comes time to look in his eyes and say "I do". The most important people in your life will feel the same way.

For back pain it might be your feet. Get better insoles for the shoes.
https://www.amazon.com/Superfeet-Green-Heritage-Insoles/dp/B0032ALZL8
Depending on your arch in your foot will decide what kind of superfeet to get. Green = high arch. Blue = normal and copper if you have flat feet. That might help.
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.
No change in width; the inserts just added some height under my heels and arches.
If you want to try Superfeet, and can't find any locally, Amazon has them with free return shipping if they don't fit.
EG still claims their UK sizes are 1/2 lower that US. That applied to me. I am 8.5D, and I took their UK8. I tried on UK7.5 in their shop, and it was too small.
Maybe these ones? https://www.amazon.com/Superfeet-Green-Heritage-Insoles/dp/B0032ALZL8
Superfeet Insoles, in the 'green' variety. Not sure what the differences between colors are.

You're NTA but maybe you guys can reach a middle ground if she wears heel protectors? I dance tango, which is done in heels, and have ripped up my fair share of apartment wood floors (my own apartments) because of the soft wood floors in the city where I live. These are the solution to protecting the floor while still being able to wear heels.

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?

Your fiance could also try wearing men's shoe inserts for an added height boost!
I'd like to add a rubber half sole to my pair of AE strands. I heard the sole would wear out quickly so I'd like to preserve them the best I can.
Would these work?
Would you recommend I see a local cobbler instead?

Heel protectors.
Thank you! It actually wasn't tough at all walking in those heels anywhere (in the gravel or in the yard). I bought a pair of heel protectors, but I realized the day before that they didn't fit my shoes! I was a little worried about slipping, but everything was fine (and if I did slip, I must've blacked out that moment from my mind haha).
I'd love to know more too. I'm thinking about getting one for bringing suits to work. I've been looking at this one, but am not sure how it works in terms of fitting onto a rack. Do most panniers, unless otherwise stated, work with the majority of racks?

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.
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 have had luck with store bought freezing solution.

I bought my first pair of "premium" Chelsea boots - Meermin Black Calfs - a couple of days ago. The thing is, is that they come with leather soles and they are really slippery, especially since I'm not a slow walker. Since they're brand new, I don't want to get them resoled. I found "half soles" on Amazon that I can glue to the bottom of the soles. Would this be a good idea? If so, is there a tutorial or a buying guide for these soles?
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?
Here you go buddy:
https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Scholls-Freeze-Remover-Treatments/dp/B0019BQ0X0
They do make these, and these, but I've found that a high volume insole helped more because it's less prone to moving around in the shoe while it's on my foot.
get this vibram topy:

get some shoes goo, and glue the topy to your strands.
my cobbler charges me $28 for putting the topy on my PA.

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 skin tags and I normally freeze them using Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Wart Remover, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019BQ0X0/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .
I had one on my eyelid once and I was afraid to use a freezing product in that location so I went to my doctor. He froze it off.

I used these insoles and it worked 💯
I had the same issue with my defys. I put them in the washing machine. The sent went away partially. Then I used this:

and this:

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.
I'd recommend adding heel grips to prevent slippage.
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.

I use this deodorizing spray called 'Rocket Pure.' It's got strong minty scent to it and works wonders. I don't necessarily have a problem with my boots stinking, but my feet and my barefoot shoes were TERRIBLE, 2-3 sprays to the sole of the shoe or 1-2 per foot completely gets rid of the stinky foot smell for a few days, depending on your perspiration level.

I glued a half sole to a pair of my boot heels. I used this, I trimmed the majority away and then cemented them on and then trimmed the rest of. Worked really well.

If you want to add ≤6mm/shoe, just buy one. For any added height, up to ≥12mm/shoe, you'll need to buy 2 sets.
