Not only Cinderella's shoes can fall off, and not only crystal models are susceptible to this. Products made from genuine leather and suede are prone to wear. The more often you use your favorite pumps, the looser they will fit. But there is no point in giving up the best pair in your wardrobe. The problem is completely solvable.
Shoes fall off the heel: what to do
To begin with, it is worth understanding the root causes of the phenomenon. If it is caused by incorrectly selected shoes that are initially inappropriate in size, then comfortable wearing will not be achieved, even by resorting to several methods at once.
Reason: shoes wear out over time They begin to sit on their legs more freely. Having artificially reduced the distance between the heel and the heel and put on a pair, in the evening you will be faced with the fact that the original problem has only intensified.
If the reason is that the shoes have stretched or worn out, the problem can be eliminated (temporarily or permanently).To this end, they make adjustments to their wardrobe, purchase special equipment and take note of “grandmother’s recipes.”
Use of special insoles, overlays and inlays
First, try replacing your “native” insoles with special orthopedic ones. They are also called arch support insoles. They will not only solve the problem of slipping, but in general will significantly facilitate the process of wearing shoes with heels.
With them the leg gets tired less. This is all thanks to the special relief of the surface facing the foot, as well as the uneven thickness of the product. Some areas of the insole are denser and rise higher, which corresponds to the anatomical features of the human foot.
You can cope with this unpleasant phenomenon not only with orthopedic insoles, but also with leather ones. In order not to miss and buy what you need, ask the salesperson at the shoe store to help. He will offer and half insoles. This is nothing more than a shortened version of the usual version. It is usually placed under the problem area. In our case, it’s worth trying to place it not only opposite the heel, but also above the supporting place of the metatarsus.
If the shape of the shoes does not allow you to resort to orthopedic or leather insoles, try using pads.
Important! Do not confuse anti-slip shoe pads with foot products. The first are special devices that allow you to walk on ice and ice. The second is what you need.
Other useful devices:
- heel guard (made from leather, dark and light, as well as polyurethane gel);
- heel pad (can be gel, latex, leather);
- inserts on the heel and toe.
The listed items are inserted or glued. You can buy them at a shoe store or pharmacy.At the same time, you need to be prepared for the fact that by the end of the day the product will shift and cease to cope with its direct responsibilities. And it’s not so much the quality of the adhesive, but the structural features of the legs. If the heel is small, then there is no point in using inlays.
Use of special means
Manufacturers of shoe products offer not only caring sprays and creams, but also products, the use of which leads to a decrease or increase in the size of leather products. It won’t be possible to stretch or compress it much, the effect of application is not so large-scale, but it will be possible to correct the problem a little.
Traditional methods
The simplest thing you can do is: You need to put a piece of medical cotton wool in the toe of your shoe. It will briefly help reduce the distance between the heel and the heel. However, it may not last long: it will simply flatten under the weight of the body.
Another method is suitable for those who have lining in their shoes. In their case, you need to wet the lining (evenly) and let the shoes dry in the sun.
Important! The latter method is fraught with the appearance of stains on shoes. Before you resort to it, conduct a preliminary test on an inconspicuous and small area of your favorite couple.
Selection of tights
Nylon promotes collapse. Fitting tightly, it slightly reduces the volume of the leg. She, in turn, begins to take up less internal space of the shoe. Due to the difference in size, the shoes no longer fit properly on the foot. In addition, the material itself is very smooth, and on a flat, non-rough surface, according to physics, objects move at higher speeds and slide faster.
Thick tights would be much more appropriate for such a scene. However, their excessive thickness will contribute to the rapid “trampling” of the shoes. Because in this case, you should stick to the golden mean: buy products of medium density, which, when worn with shoes, will not feel compressed.
Important! There are special hosiery products with non-slip soles.
You can wear short socks - footprints. They are made of thick knitwear and successfully replace tights.
You can also take a different route: refuse any tights or socks altogether. This solution should only be used by women whose feet do not sweat much. With this feature, on the contrary, you can’t put anything on your bare foot - because of the “lubrication” it will slide even more.
Some tips
If your foot swells a lot in the evening, then any shoe, no matter what material it is made from, will quickly wear out. In this case for comfortable wearing, drastic measures will be required, such as contacting the studio. The specialist will sew straps around the ankle to the shoes. The part will hold the leg back and the problem with falling off will be solved.
An even surer way: giving up shoes and switching to ankle boots. With their closed form, it does not matter whether the foot slides or not. In this they are similar to boots. Owners of narrow heels are recommended to wear shoes that have elastic bands in the heel area.
