Heels - how can I have less pain & stop my foot sliding forwards?

I bought a really nice pair of closed-toe court shoes for a friend's wedding, but within an hour of wearing them on the day my feet slid forwards and my toes were all scrunched up painfully at the front of the shoes. The heels and balls of my feet hurt too. I tried full insoles before the day to stop my heels coming out when I walked, but this only made the shoes too small at the toe. I tried "party feet" insoles on the day but they didn't help at all. I really like the shoes but I'm scared of wearing them again or buying any similar ones in case this happens again. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

They sell them at JC Penney and have saved my life. I now have them in all my heeled shoes.
Reply:have someone give you a foot rub then get double sided tape and put it on the bottom of your foot
Reply:When I was in my teens and early twenties I wore shoes like that and tried everything. I kept wearing them and today I have mis-shapen toes, fallen arches and all sorts of problems as a result, so my advice would be not to wear them ever again and in future wear a slightly lower heel so that you do not get foot problems in the future.
Reply:I know what you mean. I love heels- I wear 3inch stilletos to Uni., most of the girls hate me. I guess, that i am now used to the pain, as I started wearing heels from a very young age. Failing that- i would go with selecting lower highs: kitten heels, perhaps. aand then gradually building your tolarance level. If you're anything like me- there is no point in telling you to stop wearing them...


From a fellow 'high heel' lover...
Reply:there are gel implants for the shoes especially beneath the toes, I've never tried them but others say they really work, but they're not cheap.
Reply:One time I put a few of the small, round band-aids on the soles of my feet. The event I went to involved a lot of dancing and moving, but my feet stayed in place! Make sure that the band-aids have the rubbery, almost foam top, not just the plastic.
Reply:The most expensive shoes I ever bought were like that and I ended up giving them to my friend as she didn't feel the pain.





If the party feet insoles didn't help, you could try a better quality one but I don't think that would help much. Try to avoid wearing those shoes when you know you will have to walk much or stand up. When you are sitting down, make sure your feet are in a position you feel comfortable in.





It's not worth ruining your feet or back or a nice pair of shoes. Bring an extra pair and change your shoes if your feet start to hurt.
Reply:Party soles with a sprinkling of talcum powder, my sister swears by it!
Reply:buy shorter heels .
Reply:There are heel cushions you can buy that will grip your heel and keep your foot from sliding. You probably have a narrow heel. Go to Easy Spirit and have them fit you in shoes that have an A or AA heel and a B front. The fit like magic.
Reply:Gee, is that why Podiatrists recommend women should not wear high heels ? Ya think ?
Reply:hi.





i buy a pair of innersoles that gripes the bottom of the shoe, i wear 3-4 inch heels out on the tiles one a month and dont come home till early morning. i used to not wear innersoles in my heels and found that it was very uncomfortable, since then i have worn innersoles as my feet dont slide forwards.





hope this helps
Reply:Velcro. Staple some to your foot and some to the inside of your shoes - your feet definitely won't shift inside the shoes then. Alternatively, if you really love these shoes you can try superglue but be prepared to wear the shoes 24/7 for about 2 weeks. Hope that helps...
Reply:well, just how far will you go to get the comfort? i saw an episode of tyra banks show the other day w/ a girl w/ the same problem and you can get a proceedure done to help. look at this link it should help. in the first paragraph read it all
Reply:I have tried a lot of different ways and non of them help at all, guess the only way is not to wear heels.
Reply:scholl - party soles... we jelly insoles that really dont spoil the night !!!
