stiletto heel - "wideners"...

[joko]

do these exist?

can you buy kind of perhaps rubber cover - perhaps the sort of thing you put on the bottom of a walking stick - but made to go over stiletto heels to make the base a bit wider...and that look like part of the shoe?

i have been bought a pair of heeled shoes by my boyfriends mum and they are like spikes!

i just cannot walk in them properly - i do like them but i am not used to that kind of shoe - and dont want to break my ankle...

do they exist? any ideas?

thanks

I've never heard of this - you can get rubber heels to make the points last longer - ask at your local cobblers.

The rubber on the end of a walking stick is called a ferrule, so perhaps not what you need on stilettos. I've never heard of one for shoes, maybe as boxy ^ says a good cobblers shop may help.

If they don't exist, they should. Perhaps you should market the idea. It would save partygoers a lot of grief!
