I am wearing these shoes- yes, the ones pictured here, but in light brown- and I love the way they look but can't stand the way they feel. Below is my tragic tale of woe.I bought them years ago at Macy's, and wore them to work periodically. They are a lovely shoe for spring and summer, and look great with pants, skirts and dresses. This morning, I scoured my closet for the perfect shoe for my awesome brown striped anthro trousers and it hit me- the Guess Rally peep toe sandal! Neutral but fun, and high enough so my hem won't drag on the ground. I strapped them on and was out the door.
Sadly, upon walking on any surface other than carpet, my feet slip, the slingback slides down, and I am generally a wobbly mess. Not cute, people, not cute.
I buckled the strap tighter. Now it hurts and it's STILL slipping. WTF?!
I haven't even gotten to the part where my hems are getting all bunched up under my heel.
I have heard tell that a shoe repair shop can shorten the strap or add extra holes for the buckle. But does it really work? I have even seen apparent solutions to the pants bunching issue: Kix by Katie (http://www.kixbykatie.com/) is the most convincing one I've seen so far. But is it worth it?
Also, I saw these Strappy Strips from Foot Petals (http://www.footpetals.com/cgi-bin/footpetals/Strappy%20Strips.html)- do these look promising?
A friend and fellow shoe lover has tons of slingbacks and loves them. Does she have a bumpy heel?
Ladies, I beseech you: How the HELL to do you wear slingbacks?!
