Slippery Shoes

[nickymanley]

I recently bought a lovely pair of high-heeled sandals from Dune and wore them for the first time last week. When I put them on I noticed there were no grips on the bottom at all and it makes them really slippery to walk in. Has anyone got any suggestions for anything I can put on the bottom of the shoes to stop them being so lethal?!

You could try scuffing the soles with sand paper as a first step.
You can buy stick on soles but they would prob feel very odd if the present soles are quite thin.

Simply go outside and scratch up to bottoms of the shoes on the pavement (try the jive ;-)). This is far better than sandpaper as the bits that make contact with the ground are the bits that get roughed up. It also means you can do it whilst you are on your way to whereever you are going.

It is a sign of good shoes, you just have to be careful on carpet for a bit!

How about taking them to a Mr Minit and getting them re-soled with something with a grip?

I've had a smilar problem before and just took them to a local shoe repairs shop and they fitted another layer on the underside that had some grip.

 I always take new shoes to Mr Minute to have Phillips (or similar) stick-a-soles put on. This prolongs the life of the shoes and stops them being lethal. These come in different thicknesses. The only shoes I do not put stick-a-soles on are dancing shous, as they need to be slippery.
