The stages of heel pain

1.  Oh, these new heels are pretty comfortable!  I can twirl around in them.  No feet scrunching, gaps, all is good.  I can wear them for the interview day, no problem...

2.  Did my feet get smaller?  Why am I sliding down into the toes?  Why do my heels keep popping out?

3.  Just pretend I'm a ballerina and power through the pain.

4.  My feet are so swollen that the heels fit again.

5.  Take off the shoes, see the ugly results.
