My new cheap and cheerful shoes are killing me

I have a darling pair of new wedges in the cheap and cheerful price range, which I picked up for just AU$35 from Give Way Shoes, new in one of my local shopping centres. Don't they look great with my grey stockings?

Ok, I admit, they’re cheap shoe, really cheap, and I don’t just mean in price; the construction is by no means great, but I don’t think they should be hurting me this much.

My cheap and cheerful shoes look so cute, but I think I’m getting what I paid for.

There is no padding in the sole, so I’ve added some of those lovely gel pads under the ball of my feet. This didn’t help. If anything, it has made the pain worse, as my toes are getting folded into funny shapes and they’re rubbing in odd spots. My poor feet are just not coping.
