Does anyone else get painful marks from the upper/back edges of their shoes/heels?

I’ve noticed that heels/wedges can sometimes rub against the top and sides of your feet, leaving painful marks after wearing them for a while.

I’m exploring an idea for footwear with soft cushioning not just on the sole, but also around the upper edges/areas that commonly rub against the foot.

I’m doing a short survey to understand:

• How common this problem actually is

• Whether people have seen footwear with this kind of upper padding

• Whether they’d find it useful

• What kind of footwear they’d want it in (heels, wedges, flats, etc.)

It should only take a couple of minutes, and you don’t need to have experienced the problem yourself to answer!

Would really appreciate your responses — especially if you wear heels/wedges or other footwear that tends to cause rubbing. :)
