I don’t think buying shoes that are uncomfortable is a good idea.
Can you try a different style?
I would return them.

I was going to suggest something like that when I started reading your post! Perhaps something like a padded “burn plaster” but I don’t know how long it would stick. You can also get a product to soften leather which you might be able to use overnight while stuffing the shoe eg with newspaper or a shoe tree perhaps. Could you also wear a discreet plaster on your foot. I totally sympathise as when I love a pair of shoes I will put up with a lot!

Are your other sandals from Hotter? I have a pair of shoes and a pair of sandals both from Hotter and they rub one of my heels so much that I know I can’t wear them for long.

Just purchased a pair of deck shoes from Hotter. They were in the sale, I was surprised that my popular size was still available.

They are lovely, very pretty, but oh dear, the inside seam on the right shoe just catches my toe slightly.

I really don’t want to return them, there are no more wider sizes available, and I really like them.

I have ugly feet, another pair of sandals I own ‘catch’ in the same place, as my toes are bent.

Do you think corn pads would help? I haven’t got a corn, but one will probably develop if I wear them. Is there anything I could stick over the inside seam to make it comfier?

I have to decide whether or not to return them before too long.
