Q: How do you keep the strap from slipping off the back of your heel when wearing high heels?

A: Apply adhesive padding to the interior of the strap on your shoe before wearing.

More than being just plain annoying, a slippery heel strap is a common mishap that also can cause painful blisters. Luckily, preventing this problem is as easy as adding a small pad to the inside of your shoes. Shoe expert Meghan Cleary recommends using Dr. Scholl’s for Her Rub Relief Strips ($7.50, available at drug stores). These strips are made with moleskin, a soft, spongy cloth that gives your shoe extra grip and cushion so that it won’t slide or cause irritation. A tape-like dispenser easily cuts the padding to perfectly fit any type of heel, from a slingback to a pump. Just adhere the material to the interior heel of your shoe to keep it comfortably in place.
