shoe accessories? (cushions)

[aquaflame16.livejournal.com]

I am looking for stick-on cushiony things for ball-of-the-foot and heels, preferably in black or silver/light gray.
Does anyone know if there are any local (Davis/BallSq/Porter or easily T/bus-able from same) stores that carry this sort of thing? (I know Target may, I am looking for other ideas.)
I'm perfectly willing to call places and ask, I just have no idea where to even start.

More info on what I'm looking for:
Like these and these except functional and simple, and not half the width of my foot.
I don't need cutesy shapes for the bottom of my damn feet, TYVM, I just need something to make the shoes I am wearing to a wedding Saturday hurt my tired-from-standing-all-day feet less.

I'd start by looking in the foot care aisle at the drugstore -- last I checked, both CVS and Rite Aid had a selection of insoles, moleskin, and other shoe padding options.

thank you! I should have thought of that I will definitely check there.

If you can't find them in a more convenient location, I have found a good selection at DSW in Downtown Crossing.

I second DSW as a reasonable placy to try. They have a fair amount of this sort of accessory near the checkout.

hmm. A bit out of my way for today, but potentially a good backup. Thank you :)

I've seen that sort of thing in the past at Target.

The Payless in Central Square has some.

lol. This is where it would have helped if I had been thinking about this yesterday afternoon, when I was right there. sigh.
Thanks though :)

The shoe repair shop in the plaza by Starbucks would probably have something like this.

Savas Shoe Repair
(617) 776-8580

Savas definitely knows shoes. I'd go there first.

[aquaflame16.livejournal.com]

hmmm. Looks like I'll be doing a little circuit of Davis shops to see who has what.
Thanks for the suggestion :)

If they are too big or cutesy-shaped, you can trim them. I've done it many times.

[aquaflame16.livejournal.com]

haha. In this case it's actually that the special-fancy-girly ones are too small for my shoes/feet.
(I wear a 10.5 wide. yes it's lots of fun finding shoes. why do you ask? ;)
Honestly, it's not even so much that I care what they look like as that I don't want to pay extra for a feature I don't care about, yanno?
Thank you though :)

Shaw's

This is strange because I am rarely in Shaw's, but was there last week at Porter Sq and happened across one of those Scholl's (I think) insert displays. And I spent quite a bit of time looking because they have updated offerings for dress shoes, so that you couldn't see the orthopedic-looking sides of more traditional inserts - they were more discreet colors and narrower, but they did have full length. Cushion type, gel type, diff. sizes. It was near the dairy end of town, I think the housewares aisle, like with Swiffer mops and such.

Jimmy's Shoe Repair in Central has a really good selection, reasonably priced, and is a local business. :)
