    hi guys,
    so i've had a long-standing problem with slip on shoes (of the high heel variety)- they neve blood stay on my feet! I have very long and narrow feet (size 8, but very skinny), so normally shoes are too wide on me. So far I've just stuck to shoes with straps on them, but i'd love to know if there's something out there that would help solve this problem??!

    Have you tried putting insoles inside the shoes? I sometimes have the same problem and have found that using insoles (sometimes more than one in the same shoe:D) can help.

    Insoles and Heel grips? Haven't a clue how heel grippers work but I heard my auntie go on about them before. Maybe someone else will know. :confused:

    I have a similar problem, very narrow feet but smaller than yours.

    I have tried insoles, gel pads at front, heel grips, wearing a size too small, booby tape all over the inside, spraying inside with hair spray so it's all sticky, tightening the back strap way more than normal, sticky plasters on the side, etc...

    I did see on a website before 'invisible straps' that you can put on over your shoes, kind of like gel bra straps, I'd say they would work but I personally don't like them. http://www.tallerheels.com/

    NOTHING has worked so if you find a solution please share.

    silicone insoles are best for grip - try party feet in boots or any major chemists store,or even supermarket,some newsagents sell them too..

    I read somewhere that some people use double sided sticky tape to keep the foot from falling out? worth a try anyways!

    Try getting getting shoes a size or a half size smaller than what you usually are. I find court shoes are always too big for me in my normal size and fall off. Heel grips etc didn't make a difference.

    I've always had major issues keeping slip on shoes on my feet. It was an absolute disaster as my feet are very narrow, especially around the heel. Nothing made a difference, insoles, gel heel strips (which I put on the heel of the shoe, as well as at the sides of my feet), shoes that are a size too small, etc. But now I've resorted to wearing half a size smaller and it's an absolute miracle. I can actually wear court shoes now and have no problems walking around with no odd steps trying to keep my shoes on.

    M&S do pretty much all their shoes in half sizes and the prices can be pretty reasonable. €25 should get you a decent pair if you wanted to try out a pair without breaking the bank!
