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

[Guest]

I'm wearing my black/white patent leather Dune stilettos to work today, but walking to the train station, there was some black ice on the sidewalk and I managed to slip and fall hard on my back! most embarrassing though, was that my left shoe flew off my <A HREF='http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/catalog/default.php/cPath/23_52' target='_blank'>nylon</A> clad foot and landed several meters away! Luckily another woman heading towards the station helped me up and then got my shoe for me!

happy New Year btw!

No, it was new year's eve, so thankfully not many people around. Still embarrassing though!

At least the woman was there to get my shoe, or I would've soaked my <A HREF='http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/catalog/default.php/cPath/23_52' target='_blank'>nylon</A> on the pavement. She was very kind!

Hey Kristina, have you had any more trouble on the ice in recent days. I was in heels this am but didn't realise how icy it was, I thought it was just frost but there was black ice all over. Very slippery journey into work today.

How is everyone else coping with the icy weather over the last few days??

Today I had to double the travel to go home 'cause I wasnt able to climb a little slope: I was slipping too much!

They sound nice, very similar to what I wear mostly. Were the soles smooth or did they have grips on? Did you enjoy slipping in them?

[Guest]

Soles are almost smooth, since any grip is worn out from long time. Maybe I could have enjoyed on holidays but I was getting late to the work!

Oh dear, that was the same as me a couple of times last week! I had similar fun trying to walk in the snow in my hopelessly slippy stiletto courts! Did you have to walk down any icy slopes in your shoes at all?

Mmm, my work shoes are like that too, in fact I don't think mine had grip in the first place so I was slipping and sliding on the icy bits. What make were your shoes? Did they have good grip when they were newer?

The brand is "Annie". They didnt had much more grip when they were newer, but it's the first time on the snow - and maybe the last.

Are you all going well those fays? Every time I must go outside my usual path home-work-home, I find myself always in trouble, slipping here and there...

Hi,

Why is it so slippery where you are, - ice or mud? How do you cope?

Hi Kat, well here it's been pretty wet the last few days and last week we even had some frost and ice, all pretty slippery in my stilettos. Like a lot of other girls who have posted on this thread my shoes are also quite slippery and are very slippery in the wet or frost! Yeah I do slide around loads but the trick is to just accept it and not fight it as if you try to struggle and not slip, chances are you'll slip over so i find that if i start slipping i'll just take it slower and enjoy it!

Have you slipped much in your heels?

[Kat2]

Hi, - sorry I don't think i know your name!!

To answer your question, yes I have had quite a few incidents slipping and slidding on my way to and from the office where I work.

This is embarassing, but my work shoes are fairly worn, and have very smooth soles (which have also worn this) and the heels have become exposed metal through so much ware. As you might imaging this makes them very slippery when it is icy or when it has been raining and my path is muddy!!

Really I should buy a new pair of shoes, but I have recently spent a lot of money "doing up) my apartment and extending the lease on it so money is tight.

Also I figure it does'nt really matter if i wear worn shoes to work!!

Let me know if you would like more info? Also what probs have you had?

Hi Kat

Thank you for your reply, it was me who responded to you, I just forgot to log in!!

Your work shoes sound cool, what style are they?

I have quite a few pairs of heels that are similar in that they have worn and very very smooth soles which make them extremely slippery on anything wet, icy or smooth, just like yours! All of my shoes have metal tips on, I put them after I get them simply coz it saves money later on having to replace worn plastic ones as they last forever and also they sound much nicer too! They are however, very slippery on hard smooth surfaces like tile, concrete and wood so I have to watch my step but it makes for a lot of fun!

I personally think that it's much easier to walk in high heels if they have slippery soles as you don't 'trip=up' on them like you do in shoes with very grippy rubber soles and they just look so much prettier without big grips all over them!

All of my shoes have slippery soles so as you can imagine, I have had a lof of experiences when I have slipped, slid and skated all over the place in them! My email is littlemisssexishoes@yahoo.co.uk, I'd love to hear from you and exchange experiences!

Hope to hear from you!

Hi Joanna,

Thanks for your reply.

I am afraid that just at the moment I am wearing the same shoes to work all the time.

They are about 2-3 inch black leather heels with a T-bar across the front. As i mentioned they are really badly worn, but i am trying to put off having to buy a new pair, because of finances being rather tight.

I have'nt put metal heels on as you dsescribe - they have just worn down.

At present it seems that almost every day my walk is either icy and slippery or else wet and muddy, - can't wait for summer and better weather!!

Do you ever get yout shoes very muddy?

Hope to hear from you again soon, - would you rather I e-mail you in future.

Kat.
