keeping your shoes on your feet
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

I got these shoes for a wedding I was in and they didn't like to stay on my heel - they were constantly slapping as I walked. Not a good thing when you're walking down the isle!

  1. Step 1

    My shoes matched my dress almost exactly, so I used the optional straps that came with it for one strap and made another out of what got hemmed off the bottom of my dress. I did this for another pair of shoes and used some sheer ribbon I found so just as long as you have 2 straps per shoe you're good. They just need to be long enough to strap around your ankle and tie a nice bow.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Take your strap and find a place to attach it. I didn't sew the strap directly to my shoe, but rather to itself when I folded the end around a strap on the shoe. CONFUSING! Just whip it in place. Repeat on other side and again the exact same way on the other shoe.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Once ya have 'em in place tie them on your foot and try them out.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Yay! Shoes that stay on!

Great idea!!! C'est parfois ennuyeux les lanières de talons aiguilles qui ne tiennent pas.
