I need some advice about a shoe dillema
just got a pair of pumps, they fit great
but when I walk in them the back slides
I can't go down a size, they will never fit....
any ideas on how to stop the sliding???
does this happen to any one else???

thanks


:hi: :hi:

1. At some shoe stores they have these pads you can stick in the back
that take up the slack a bit and also stop the sliding.

They are shaped like a knuckle bandage.

(I have very skinny heels - I buy these all the time.)

2. I've got a pair like that.
They're the most comfortable pair I own to wear for any length of time but I tend to walk out of them if I try to walk on grass.

I'd be interested in any possible solution, too. I haven't found one yet.

:hi:

6. I saw that...
I'll look for them the next time I go out. Do you think a knuckle bandage would work? I've got boys who mess up their knuckles all the time...so I've GOT the bandages.

Oh. Wait. #3 son cut up his knuckles the other day so I might be out.

8. Might work
But I think they would wear out awfully fast.

7. You know...
a 'post your shoes' thread might be fun.

I'm sure there's been one already... probably many...

11. I take a photo of just about every pair I buy
I'm shoe obsessed. It's a disease.

One of my favorite pairs (which I can't wear right now because they bother my bad knee :grr: ) -

17. Thanks! I can't wait to buy more.
I'm going to try to splurge and sneak in another pair when I get the kids' school clothes. :P

20. Hah... I don't even know!
I'm a newcomer to the whole shoe-enthusiast thing. :P

They were on sale, that's what was important. :D

5. I have put band aids on the back of my heels to stop that.
I think there's also something for sale like that, but it attaches to the back of the heel.

Not sure that was any help, heh... I tried! :hi:

14. My pleasure!
Like someone upthread said, it won't work for long... but it got me through a workday or a night out just fine.

18. My advice is to use shoes that are actually shaped like a human foot.
Or maybe your feet really are pointy.
