Dear all,
New to the forum as a recently graduated professional keen to know how to start properly taking care of a newly bought set of professional clothes and shoes. I've recently invested in a pair of Loake Badminton's on the 202 last, 1880 range, with Dainite soles. Given their price I am keen to keep in as good state as possible! I am UK size 12 with wide G fitting and high forefoot meaning I was advised to go for derbys instead of Oxfords.
My issue(?) is that my right foot is very slightly smaller (in length and width) than my left. The shoes fit like a glove on my left foot but there is a small amount of heel slipping on the right. The heel doesn't really lift off the sole but just shifts around a little side to side. I have a single leather insole which makes things better but still doesn't entirely remove the rubbing.
I've worn the shoes a few times now, the main thing I am worrying about is wearing of the back of the shoe and the heel cup from this rubbing. From this I have a few questions:
1. Is is normal to have a little slipping in the way I've described? I've read on there forms a little slip is normal initially - I've worn them about 4-5 times now, do I just need more time for the soles to mould to my feet?
2. Because of this do I need to worry about wearing at the back more than would normally?
3. If it's not normal what else can I do about it - another insole, a heel cushion etc?
Many thanks, really appreciate the advice!
