I hate my Martens.
I've bought a Jadon Smooth leather pair. And I hate them. Yes, I know the leather should mold to the feet, yes I know it will hurt.
I am tired of constantly being told and reading and being dismissed of what the Martens are causing to my feet though.
I can withstand a LOT of pain. My right feel was bleeding, that's fine. I can handle that. But my left heel bone has started to grow a hard, bony lump on it, due to the hard leather persistently pressing into the bone. I've worn them for only 5 days or so. I'm away from home so I don't have them with me.
I also don't understand, at first the heel didn't hurt. Then it did. To the level of being unable to walk, taking off my docs in public and just continuing on my socks. And maybe people reading this will think I'm a frail, easily bruised peach, but trust when I tell you I truly can withstand lots of pain. But this, with the fact that it creating a bony lump on my heel...
What a waste of my money.
I bought them, liked them, but what am I putting myself through? Deformity of the bones in my feet and bleeding for the sake of shoes? Bruh.
I am simply so mad. What a waste of my money and I'll never have my bone return to the normal shape.
The bone deformity at my heel still hurts and it's been 5 days since I've last worn them. And just in case anybody wants to claim that's not possible: multiple people I know have mentioned the same thing happening to their feet.
I posted this on a different dr martens subreddit but everyone is just down voting my literal personal experience. So I also posted it here.
I am so bummed out by this whole ordeal.
edit: Im sorry, i want to reply to the comments but I can't see them
