Does anyone know a way I can fix this? Feeling absolutely justed right now.

OH NO NO NO NO
Heel pads/grips, next time just use QTDDTOT, friend.
My solution is to put a piece of wood inside the shoe and then hammer it from the outside with a piece of cloth between the hammer and the leather.
Hydrogen peroxide can sometimes lift blood from fabric. Use a qtip and spot test somewhere hidden first
Wear socks you hecking stupid
Socks, what are you hecking stupid?
I wore socks.
I mean how do I get these hecking giant blood stains off my brand new CPs
Probably not very easily, that looks like the stains are only on the inside so I wouldn’t really bother outside of rubbing over it with a slightly wet towel (and then a dry one to get excess moisture off).
Nobody is gonna see the stains and any harsh cleaning agents are gonna do more harm than good.
you dont really get blood off without bleach, you just ruined them on day 1
Some shoes need to be worn in. Put a bandage on the back of your ankle and keep wearing them.
Also if you have enough heel slip to rub them that bloody your sizing is probably hecked.
Maybe get some moleskin heel pads, they will add ~0.3 of a size which might already be enough to fix slipping and at the very least won’t have you rubbing your feet raw on the leather anymore.
Just throw them in the bin, you trying to look like a Redditor from five years ago? Your body is trying to tell you something.
>bought common projects
There’s your problem. There are better, possibly more comfortable options for less

are you me? I bought CP 2 weeks ago and hecked up my heels the first time wearing it
I walked back home and wiped off the blood while it was still fresh
did you buy your usual sneaker size?
italian style stitched leather shoes are all very generously sized so you have to go like 2 sizes smaller than normal otherwise your heel won’t stay in place and will scrub raw
Your shoes are too big. I bought a pair a week ago and while uncomfortable as shit my heels don’t slide. Your toes should be crammed up against the front of the shoe and you should have less than one finger behind your heels, maybe a half finger.
Yeah they are ever so slightly roomy, I wear a 8.5 in chucks and went for 8 in CPs, ideally I would wear 7.5 and I think 7 would be too small.
Nah, these are still the best white trainer senpai

wrong
Whatever you do,they will still make you look like a laggard who just discovered 2016.
Like the kind of guy who was a virgin in highschool and still is at 30 years old, always lagging behind the cool guys. These are the shoes.
What ugly shoes. Throw these ugly beasts in the trash where they belong. If I saw you with these shoes wincing as you walked uncomfortably I’d know I was watching a stupid walk.
