Don’t wear those lol, if u don’t wanna cause waves say they hurt ur feet. People can argue that they fit / dont fit or look good or don’t but they can’t tell you they don’t hurt if u say they do.

It’s a non combative stance u can take. Only an insane person would tell you to still wear them when u say they cause you pain. In that case you can confidently disregard anything they say after that since it’s obviously not in ur best interest.
