    Slipping out of my shoes!

    Hey Ladies, I have a shoe Q.

    I'm really picky about shoes because for some reason or another I usually slip out of the front of them. And I hate how that looks... seeing a dancer's toes coming out of the front makes me cringe. I recently got some new 6 in shoes (http://store.yahoo.com/snaz75/el-601-coco.html), but even they dissappointed me. On the inagural run at work yesterday same problem arose. Anybody have any suggestions? I've tried working with the size. I've ordered the same shoe (basic clear 6 in) in both a size 6 and 7, and that doesn't do the trick.

    Suggestions? More shoes to try?

    Are your feet not fat enough? I often have problems with shoes b/c my feet are too skinny and it annoys me soo much! I cant wear all the cute regular shoes. Ok done ranting......try some foot pads. I wish I had a pic....but they are like little insoles that just stick on your shoe where the balls of your feet are. Those take up some room and should help with the shoe staying on. Either that or get the smaller size and put that thing in and it might work....

    What kind of insole do your dancer shoes have? If you have a plastic-y insole, don't be surprised if your foot slips as your feet sweat and will slide as a result. To combat this, get cushion-type insoles as this will absorb the sweat and will give your foot grip saying goodbye to curled toes over the edge.

    Another thing that I find helps is if the shoe has an ankle strap like this type; http://store.yahoo.com/snaz75/6spikekiss209.html. I personally find that it keeps my foot stable at the top a little better and helps keep it in place against the slipping by a bit. This is one of the reasons I personally won't wear mules

    I hope this helps!

    Another thing that I found is that I can't wear shoes over a certain height. If I go over 7 inches, no matter what the bottom in the heel, I slide out, because I am 5'7 and weigh like 120. Try 5 inches if you arent too short, but if you are, there are shoes you can buy with like a material bottom instead of the slick bottom.

    After looking through my dance bag, I found a pair I used to use. Nice. These should help.

    you can go to a cobbler and have them adjust the strap over the foot to make them tighter & fit you better.
