Just a simple piece of hat elastic helped me keeping my shoes from sliding off my heel!
Sure this hat elastic you can find in different colors too!

But I was glad for finding my 'old' Hat Elastic from The Netherlands...
Without measuring, I cut off two pieces and did tie a knot on both ends.
This Hat Elastic is strong enough for holding that nasty sliding heel band in its place!
Wore this with my long Escada silk satin roses dress and it works well with long jeans.
Haha, my biker-feet with the imprints by the sun from where my Ecco sandals fit... đ
And... my ugly toe is not yet 'normal'. You can read about how that came to be here: NO WAY!!! ←click link
Shoes are also Escada and they come with a matching small, and a larger tote, as well as with a belt.
I'd rather have some hat elastic 'visible' then tripping or having difficulty walking...
Do you have any shoes that don't stay put?
Often they look better than they wear!

Excellent and ingenious. Oh ... and elegant too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,

Hallo Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWat een super handige oplossing voor afglijdende schoenenbandjes. Samen met de jurk,tas en sieraden is het een prachtig plaatje. Fijne zondag, lieve groet Willy
Beste Willy,
DeleteDank je wel en deze oplossing wilde ik dan ook graag delen!
Liefs,
Mariette
A mĂ no me gusta llevar los dedos de los pies al aire, debido a que el pie se me va para adelante a la hora de andar y se me acaba saliendo del zapato.
ReplyDeleteEstĂĄs muy bien conjuntada y luces todo lo que tes has puesto, con mucha elegancia.

Querida AntĂłnia,
DeleteBueno, con mis pies delgados de tipo egipcio, yo tambiĂŠn tengo el mismo problema, pero con zapatos que te ajusten bien puedes minimizarlo. ¡Me encanta el perĂodo en que puedo caminar con los pies descalzos!
Abrazos,
Mariette
P.S. AquĂ menciono los tipos de pies: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-type-of-feet-do-you-have.html
How very clever of you, Mariette! And you do look elegant in that photo. You have impeccable taste!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
DeleteThank you and now finally I can wear and enjoy these shoes!
Well, the season is soon ending for bare foot shoes...
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, Safety is more important than anything else! However, necessity is the mother of invention, and how like you to have millinery supplies on hand to create this solution! I could never fix clothing, but I like to keep lots of miscellaneous screws and hardware around--they always come in handy, and I'll bet that Pieter always does likewise!
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteYep, for the sake of safety we do a lot.
both of us often joke when encountering a little problem that needs to be fixed. Either I look into my sewing supplies or Pieter goes to his workshop for finding a piece of hardware for using!
Hugs,
Mariette
Very clever indeed! I'm typically in sneakers or hikers, actually don't have any dress shoes anymore. Business casual slip-ons are the closest to "dressy." LOL.
ReplyDeleteBTW, that rose dress is so beautiful, Mariette. You look lovely!
Dearest Kim,
DeleteWell, sneakers or hikers are not the best form for any Egyptian type foot. I do wear them for biking in colder season but not for the entire day.
So my dress shoes are still complete and color matching my wardrobe. No spike heels however; never liked those!
Will show the rose dress another time in more detail and I love it too. Wore its 'sister' to a wedding in the Provence in September of 2016: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2016/09/back-home-from-wedding-in-provence.html
The huge, matching silk satin shawl, Pieter found at the Escada Outlet and it has proven to be useful!
Hugs,
Mariette
It's a really good idea, the outfit covers the elastic and looks stylish anyway.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteYes, it works perfect and even IF visible, safety is more important đ

Eine sehr gute LĂśsung, manchmal ist es so einfach, aber man muss die richtige Idee haben.
ReplyDeleteIch wĂźnsche Dir einen wundervollen Start in die neue Woche.
Viele liebe GrĂźĂe
Wolfgang
Lieber Wolfgang,
DeleteJa wirklich sehr einfach... Bin froh es aufgelĂśst zu haben!
Liebe GrĂźĂe,
Mariette
I have similar sandals that slide off all the time and I gave up wearing them. The elastic would be a good idea for sure :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteSo happy for having solved that sliding off problem and it is so easy!
Finally these sandals came out of the closet for being worn.
Hugs,
Mariette
Such a bloody good idea
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteYep, clearly one of those đĄ moments...
Hugs,
Mariette
Wie cooooool ist das denn, liebe Mariette, mit dem Gold Zack Gummi bleiben die Schuhe an Deinen FĂźĂen und Du stolperst nicht... Du siehst toll aus in Deinem pinken Outfit ..... ich bin ein Pinkfan... nicht nur von der Sängerin mit der tollen Stimme đ¤Š
ReplyDeleteHerzliche GrĂźĂe aus dem herbstlichen Ostfriesland đ
Traudi.♥
Liebe Traudi,
DeleteDanke, das Problem war ganz einfach aufgelĂśst mit Gold Zack Gummi!
Ganz liebe GrĂźĂe,
Mariette
