High Heels with No Grips!! - Fashion vs Winter!!

[Guest]

Hi Jasmine

Wow, that is some experience!! Your stockings and shoes sound really pretty and it is such a shame that they got muddy. 5.5" heels are so sexy to wear aren't they? It's my fave heel height and I have loads of shoes like that.

I remember my friend's car getting stuck once and I had to try to push her out in my slidey-soled 5" pointy court shoes, as you can imagine, I didn't really get very far coz everytime I put my weight onto the back of the car, I just simply slid backwards. My pretty little shoes having no grip whatsoever! We ended up calling her breakdown service and they towed us out with no trouble! Luckily, I had black patent shoes on so they did wipe clean pretty quickly and a quick polish of the soles later and they were as good as new!!

What were the soles like on those sandals you wore and did you slip much in them?

My soles were smooth and polished,and I was slipping everywhere.I had
to take short steps to keep my sandels from slipping out from under me.

Wow, it certainley sounds like you had a little trouble! Your sandals sound wonderful! Had you actually polished the soles or did they just appear polished?

No,no,the soles are just very shiney and slippery.
I have around 45 pairs of heels,and almost all of them have treadless
soles.

Also, did anyone else see this article about a school banning shoes because they are slippery?

Does anyone else remember wearing slippery school shoes? I know I do! What were yours like?

Ballet pumps can be really slippery on grass!!!

Interesting article Louise, I guess I can understand why as kids will be running round a lot at school and running in slippery shoes is a bad idea. You don’t stop you slide LOL.

Most of my shoes do have smooth soles too so I know what it’s like sometimes, I find when I’m shopping most of the high heels have smooth soles now, especially the pointed toe ones.

Hi,can anyone tell me the best shoe shops for high heels in the Bolton/Manchester area ?,I'm visiting there shortly and want to get some sexy sandals as souvenirs.(its something I do).

Hi Lucy

Have you had any more trouble with the slippery paths this week?? With all the rain we've been having I've been slippy sliding on the paths especially where they are mucky with fallen leaves or mud.

How about other posters on this thread, is anyone else finding things a bit slippery in September?

I can sympathise with how some paths get when it rains. Most of my journey is by car with a short walk into the store from a car park. A part of the path between car park and store isn’t very well levelled and water collects there and so it gets mucky in very heavy rain. That can be slippery and the only other alternative is the grass which would be just as bad.

It’s only that bit though so It can be how some paths are laid sometimes I think. And where the water runs is where it can sometime make paths slippery. Best advice I can offer really is to be careful and walk slow. Better to get to work late but fine that slip over with all the embarrassment.

Earlier this week we were having a lot of rain yes, on the Monday round where I live we even had a few small floods in places nearby and in town in a few places.

I tried my best to avoid the flooded areas that day but Tuesday was bad on the paths. When all the floods are now gone they left the paths quite mucky and slippery yes.

But guess by the sounds of it you and lots of others have had the same problems. Guess the best thing to do is to just take it slower and be careful not to slip over. I would rather get in a bit late than get in with a wet back from slipping over.

Yes but the problem is if you are slipping so much you get stuck at the base of a slope!

What about these

How sexy are those and if they work, the perfect solution to our slippy stiletto's

Has anyone tried them? I think I'm going to!

[Guest]

The leaves have started falling off the trees round here making the paths on my way to work really slippery in my heels.
Has anyone else noticed that happening?

[Guest]

Hi,

Yeah - I have found the same thing.

One day last week it had been raining and was really slippery on my way to work.

It was a nihghtamre slipping slipping and sliding all over the place. By the time I reached the office my shoes were really mucky, and I ended up kicking them off and going just in my stockings feet all day.

Hi Katie, sounds like quite the experience!! What shoes were you wearing and what were the soles like? xx

[Guest]

Hi,

They were black medium-heeled lace-up shoes, with a smooth sole which probably did'nt help.

It was a relief to reach the office and be able to take my shoes off. However, I am still going to walk the same way to work,and hope it does'nt happen again.

Have you had any similar experiences?

Katie.
