Court shoes - how on earth do I keep them on??

Oh you wise and stylish ones, I am in urgent need of your help. Please.

I bought these rather lovely high heeled shoes for work, but I don't know how to stop them falling out at the back when I walk! Blush They're not too big at all, height it fine, but I'm used to wearing heels with straps over footbed.

Am I doomed? Are these destined to be children's dress-up shoes in the cupboard? Mind you, in that case should prob keep a&e on standby due to hight...

I've already bought the foam thingies to stick at the back. All that really does is make them smaller and squash my toes. Urgh, what to do?! I'm now torn between what I'd rather it be - me having weirdo feet or just being so utterly common that I don't even know how to walk!

They sound like they might be a bit too big to me. A good fitting court shoe should fit close round the toes, and even more importantly, round the heel in order to stay on.

Rather than putting padding round the back, try getting some Party Feet or similar, to go under the front of your feet. They will narrow the space at the front of the shoe, and effectively push your feet further back.

And practise. There's definitely an art to wearing high heeled court shoes.

Problem is that I can't buy any smaller, I'd be in agony as my toes already at the front.

I will try some Party Feet though, thanks. :)

I've been walking around inside with them this morning, and will do so for a while every evening. I can't use them as it (or me) is at the moment, as I look like a clown. I drunk one.

Grr, I think I should have bought ones with straps, but these were sooo pretty.
