|
|
Hey there!
So, I have been lusting after these shoes for about two years now.
I FINALLY received them for my birthday and I'm in LOVE. But....as always, there's one problem.
These barely fit on me length wise. My toe is very near the top so I know I can't take a smaller size. I can deal with this though, and the length is pretty comfortable. However, these are WIDE as hell! So, when I wear them, my foot slides from side to side and sometimes my heel slips out. I can fit almost my whole hand down the side when my foot is in them.
Are there insoles that will help stop this? That go side to side? I don't think the heel ones alone will help. I'm thinking I could stuff them with tissue paper on the sides, but tissue always works intelf out of the shoe on the dance floor. I can walk around in these fairly well, but I DON'T think I can dance in them without tossing one off! And thats what I really wanted them for.
Any ideas? I'm NOT returning them! I loves dem too much! _________________ www.libertinasrevamp.com

Hun I'm sorry I can't help with what to suggest but definitely do something about it cuz otherwise you will develop a large history of falling over like I have!! Hmm... maybe you could pad out the sides of in the inside with something? _________________ Is sparkling all over like a freaking christmas tree!!! |

Oh please tell me what kind of shoe they are!
I need some new shoes, as my old ones are literally in tatters and the only ones that I have that will fit my feet are crocs type ones which I refuse to wear any other place other than a beach.
If you can't tell... I'm desperate:( |

My feet are practically square>.< lol.
I'm a size 4, but somethings I have to wear like size 7's if I want them to fit the width. |

You could try stuffing lamb's wool in the sides of your shoes. It's worked for me in the past. _________________ To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.

I was going to recommend lambs wool as well. Also I know Dr. Scholl's (and a brand from Nordstrom's called Petal's I think) has some "custom" insert that adhere to the show. I have a wide toe area and super skinny heel so i have to use the adhesive ones to build the backsides up a bit. |
