Don’t get rid of those slippy heels just yet!! I usually order my shoes online at Kohls when there’s a sale, free shipping, and great coupon codes that you can stack for added savings. Shopping online doesn’t allow me to try on stuff so I’m really taking a risk when I order clothing.
9 times out of 10, the clothes and shoes fit well. Then I have the pump that is super cute but my heel slips. Well, I found two things that help me with that and now I can finally wear my cute shoes without worry!
First, there’s the Pedag heel grips. They are made in Germany and are not heel LINERS. These grips have a leatherlike feel to it with a boning in the center that give your heel that extra grip it needs to cling on to the back of your shoe. These have extremely strong adhesive. So position as necessary and then remove the backing to tack in place. These are stackable. So if you need extra umph, just stick on another set and you’re good to go! For my feet, it seems to work best when it's lined up flush to the top of the shoe.
The other product I found to work like a charm are heel straps. I have a pair of pumps that have a shallow back on the heel. So no matter how many grips I put in there, my heel just won’t grip it right because the back of the shoe just isn’t tall enough to allow. These heel straps come in different colors and styles. They blend right into your shoe. Unless you point it out to someone, they won’t know that its an add on accessory to your footwear. Now, depending on how bad the slippage is, you may want to try using grips with it. You don’t have to, but it might help. The reason I suggest it is because even with the straps, your heel will slip. The difference is now you have a strap to keep your shoe on your foot and you’re not gripping for dear life with your toes and causing a potential cramp. It slips but it’s manageable.
You can find both products on Amazon. As a prime member, I got free shipping and although they don’t “offer” 2nd day air to Hawaii or Alaska, I got my products in the same week I ordered them.
