Do you think these shoes will actually stay on?

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

They're very pretty and actually comfortable I bet. I'm a heels wearer myself, and these are tame. Know what you mean about the sling back worries but for wearing to just do fancy pants stuff what are you waiting for? 😀

On the subject of tit tape ideas- what about a transparent ankle strap, like you can get for bras? Iyswim?

"and actually comfortable I bet"

They look extremely uncomfortable to me, but then, to me, a high heel is anything more than 2 inches. When I walk I tend to stride rather than take dainty little steps and I just wouldn't be able to walk in those at all.

You can buy sticky heel or sole inserts which help your feet to grip the shoe (and more comfy) Various online, Scholl ones are good.

Tit tape
Don't mess about with the foot stuff you need proper heavy duty stick yourself to everything tit tape
Before I totally anhilated my ankle I would dance and run about being carefree for hours in such footwear, tit tape was my friend.

Good long piece along whole of back strap, don't be shy you shave paid for it use it. adhere to ankle first then apply strap NOTE DO THIS with ankle in flex position stand up and go!

Oh and I didn't bugger my ankle up wearing these I fell off a horse and then down some very flat sensible shoes. Goes to show you need beautiful, footwear and tit tape!

NicknameUsed fair enough. :) 'Comfortable' being relative to high heels I guess!

OK then - not absolute agony.
