Topie: The trouble with shoes
October 15th, 2007 04:39 AM
Kathy Lees I love shoes.

Myself and OH were shopping yesterday, I wanted a nice pair of slingback shoes.

I always have a problem with slingbacks where the shoe would fit my feet but the slingback bit is always too big and will always slip down even at the tightest setting!

I find it so damn frustrating. Grrrrrr.

I've done that to some sandals before. But it normally means the excess strap is long and sticks out and also, to do it at the exact same point to the other shoe is hard, you could get one tight fitting and the other one a bit loose.

It's not rocket science
