    I got these fantabulous shoes for my reception

    My Shoes Refuse to Jitterbug With Me :  wedding shoes slipping heels Untitled 2 Photobucket

    One problem…They keep slipping off my heels.  I have tried the foot petals "Heavenly Heelz" and they still slip. Does anyone have any other ideas?  TIA!

    If you put a pad at the ball of your feet (foot petals makes them too... cant remember the name) it will push your foot further back in the shoe causing it not to slip from your heel.  Plus it adds some comfort!  Cute shoes, I hope you find a way to make them fit

    The combination of foot petals (or actually, the full shoe liner- I can't remember what it is called) and heavenly heelz worked for me.

    someone recommended fashion tape for some slip-ons i have.  haven't tried it yet, but it would likely do the trick.  i second the recommendation for pads under the ball of your foot - you find them all over the place and they usually work.

    I have a pair of shoes with a similar problem, and this was my (pretty ghetto, I know) solution. I got the rubber shelf liner you use to keep things from sticking. Walmart has it really cheap, and in black; it's is the kind that is little rubber nubs all connected like this:

    I rubber cemented it to the inside back of my shoes, and it works great. I did it last July, and I'm just now needing to re-glue it.

    Probably not what you were imaging, but sometimes the odd stuff works:) hope this helps!
