But anyone got any tips on making it feel well... comfortable? It kills. :rolleyes:

Well, if they're not comfortable, don't wear them, but that's your own choice. Another thing is make sure they fit properly. Don't force yourself into wearing them if they don't fit. Try wearing them for a few days and break them in, yes, I know this will hurt, but it's worth it in the end.

I love pointy shoes, I look for styles that offer wide sizes even if I typically don't wear them. It gives your toes more wiggle room while still accomplishing the pointy toed look comfortably.

Hello there! It's nice to find other ladies out there whose tastes are so close to my heart.
I live in florence, italy, which as far as I'm concerned is the pointy shoe capital of the world. It's also full of cobblestone streets that have hundreds of years of wear and tear upon them, which makes walking in beautiful shoes an art form in itself.
My secret is a fantastic cobbler. I take tight shoes there to get stretched. It costs about 5 euros per pair. It's sometimes the difference between blisters and a comfortable fit. If you do get your shoes stretched, make sure to wear that day and/or the day after to help keep them from shrinking back.
Always make sure the shoes are the right size. I can't tell you how many gorgeous pairs I have that are half a size to a whole size too small. It's emotionally painful. Also, the higher quality the shoe is, the more comfortable they often are. High quality leather will also mold better to you.
Another secret is in the shape of the heel. I find that the thinner the heel is, the harder it can be to walk long distances. Even if a heel is significantly high, if the shape is good, the walking is better.

I agree with linnealand.
Although, I'm personally not a big fan of pointy shoes. I'm more into the round noses, that's just my taste though. I feel like they make my feet look too big for my body, as I'm not that tall.

Lol, I know what you mean. I'm 5'3'', so I'm not particularly tall either. To be honest, that's why I wear them! The first time I put on pointy boots, I felt like a witch. It takes some getting used to. But when you see someone who's really smartly dressed, you don't think to yourself, "there's some really pointy shoes for ya'...too pointy..." no, you just see them looking good. :)
