wedding shoes

bit of a weird one. hoping you ladies can help me out. now i live in trainers and for work flat shoes. I also own 1 pair of boots with heels on for going out but they zip up the side. as i am getting married in 4 months i figured i needed some 'proper' wedding shoes (despite the fact they will be under my dress and noone will see them :D). I bought some in a similar style to these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-WOMENS-SATIN-PROM-WEDDING-BRIDAL-SHOES-SIZE-3-8_W0QQitemZ370359319788QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWomen_s_Shoes?var=&hash=item950325fb8f (but not these actual ones, just wanted to show you the style).

My trainers are a 7 so i bought my wedding shoes in a 6 to make sure i would be able to walk in them. now they fit fine, however when i walk (and this is probably because i do not know how to walk in them) it feels like my heel is coming out of the shoe. should my heel be coming out or am i doing something wrong :rotfl:

or, is there any such product on the market (cheap) which is like a piece of double sided adhesive to put under the heel and make the heel stay there? otherwise i may just sellotape all the way around the shoe and my foot (yes i am serious).

any suggestions welcome:o

    Are they slightly too big for you? When I had shoes that were a little too big I used these and they helped keep my heel from slipping out

    ooooo thanks. i'll look into them. i don't think they are too big as they are a size smaller than my normal shoes i just don't think i know how to walk/position my feet in them :S

    Are your feet sliding forward in the shoe causing them to be loose at the back? If so, then insoles might also help
  • Those shoes remind me of some I have. I tend to find not having an ankle strap less secure and I half expect the shoe to fly off if the dancing gets a bit vigorous! I'm gonna look for some with straps for my wedding to be on the safe side!
    I remember watching GMTV once when they were answering viewers queries ad someone had a similar problem. There were some clear strap things that keep your shoe on but are not too noticeable. I believe dancers use them too.
    I googled 'clear shoe straps' and something similar came up. Could also try a local dance-wear shop if you have one near you?
  • Might be a bit pricey but I just spotted some of the ones I think he mentioned on GMTV, Heel straps dot com.
    Hope that helps :)
