Do you think these shoes will actually stay on?

[nottallatall]

I've been looking for red strappy high heels for summer for ages. I don't want ankle straps, much as I love them, as they are a disaster on my short legs. Just come across these www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-HATTER-Heeled-Sandals/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=6090146&affid=15397&istCompanyId=6f061ed0-7427-4b6c-bb90-987c0bd08468&istItemId=aiawraprr&istBid=tztx and they are just what I am looking for. BUT, they look to me as though you would just walk right out of them, if that makes sense! I guess they must stay put as someone is modelling them, but wondering what others think before I order them. (hope the link works!) TIA

OK, so the link doesn't seem to work ...

[nottallatall]

I will try again.

Well, obviously I cannot do links but at least I can do smileys !

[Lookdownthesofa]

Link still not working. Can you give us the make/description/item code?

[CreviceImp]

No I think they will ping off. Nice though so worth a try?

[ArmfulOfRoses]

Oh they're pretty!

Have you considered a staple gun?

[FadedRed]

I think you need to amputate your little toes and then use this stuff www.screwfix.com/p/evo-stik-sticks-like-sh-t-clear-290ml/57252

I had a similar pair back when I wore heels and the bloody back strap always drooped down then I would step out of them. I loved the look of them if I stood still but as soon as I wanted to move.......

[nottallatall]

Thank you all for replies, sorry I was out for afternoon. Thanks CreviceImp for the working link! I am prepared to suffer to gain a bit of extra height, but even I draw the line at staples and superglue

So you have personal experience here Minty and what you describe is exactly what I thought would happen. I need to think of something, as I loooove these shoes. Velcro pads on the bottom of my feet??!! I could just stand still in them and get people to carry me around!

[MintyChops]

They are so beautiful it might be worth Velcro, superglue and standing still . You know, for all that I did step out of them and find the droopy blackstrap annoying, I felt really sexy in mine and didn't fall over ONCE. I was on high alert at all times but I think it was worth it..... Do it, do it!

[TomTomKitten]

I had a similar pair and they never stayed on. Drove me mad. Sorry.... Much prefer heels with a strap across the front as I am a bit accident prone. Keep trying different ones on and you'll find a pair to suit.

[IHaveBrilloHair]

I'm a wheelchair user and would so buy them as wheelchair shoes.

[Startingover2016]

I couldn't wear those in a million years. I went to a wedding in a similar pair from Karen Millen and I was literally crippled by the end of the day/night and also fell over more than once (alcohol and dark.) I have never worn them since and they cost £120 plus matching bag £80.

Ankle straps are the only way.

You could possibly wear them at a seated event eg meal where you get from a taxi to the restaurant and sit down all night.

"I couldn't wear those in a million years."

Neither could I. My eyes are watering just looking at them.

They are very pretty, but very unwearable unless you don't intend walking in them.

[BaronessEllaSaturday]

I have slightly misshapen feet so that style stay on for me normally, I wouldn't buy that particular pair though. My heel sticks out a long way and that holds the strap up so they don't fall off. It comes down to whether they are a good fit for your foot. One problem with that particular pair is that the strap at the back of the ankle is not elasticated so you won't get as good a fit with it.

[Woodhill]

No support in those, I wouldn't bother

[Greenteandchives]

I have some similar ones. They stay on fine, but I don't walk far in them.

[mrsvilliers]

Those shoes would stay on my feet, they would however rub the back of my ankles to the point of being unwearable!

OP I once fell in love with a very similar pair of shoes from Pied a Terre. I ended up cutting the back strap off (it's much less noticeable than you think it would be). I wore my cut off shoes to a variety of weddings, felt INCREDIBLY glamorous and didn't fall over once. Buy!

[nottallatall]

I can't be doing with ankle straps cutting across my ankles, my legs are shorter than Jeremy Corbyn's expenses list. I bet they're really comfortable - they look really comfortable

So, MintyChops didn't fall over once, mrsvilliers didn't fall over once, Startingover2016 fell over more than once (BUT alcohol and dark). That's 2 to 1, I'm buying!

[Hobbes8]

Oh they're lovely. Would tit tape help do you think?

[Ilovetorrentialrain]

Hmm depends, are they for walking about much (daytime heavy use) or for special occasions/going out for the evening? If the latter I'm sure they'd be fine. I have problems with sling backs 'dropping' on my ankle but if you love these just get 'em!

[minnymoobear]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love em but wouldn't be able to walk in them so would never buy :(.

[nottallatall]

Thanks Hobbes8, that's a good idea! Not for heavy use Ilove, just fancy-pantsing about!

[FortyFacedFuckers]

They are gorgeous, I would buy them and try walking around the house in them as ASOS do free returns.

[hollinhurst84]

I have a similar pair and they're ok at staying on. I have suede heel grips on them and the strap quite firm
