If your high heels slip off ?

Do you also experience the problem of your high heels slipping off? Is it due to an incorrect size or poor wearing habits? Let's take a look at what the problem is.

Reasons for heel drop:

1. Incorrect shoe size. If the shoes are too big, there will be a large gap between the heel and the shoe, and the heel will easily slide inside the shoe when walking, causing the heel to slip off.
2. Poor wearing habits. Some people have incorrect walking postures, such as dragging their feet, taking too large steps, or using the wrong footwork, which causes the shoes to constantly change position on the feet, increasing the likelihood of the heels slipping off.

Why is it recommended to use hydrocolloid heel patches?

Hydrocolloid materials possess unique adhesive and cushioning properties, with a surface friction higher than ordinary shoe lining materials, increasing the adhesion between the heel and the shoe. Typically 2-3 mm thick, it effectively fills the gap between the heel and the shoe. The material is soft and elastic, ensuring comfort. The adhesive uses hypoallergenic medical-grade glue, providing strong adhesion and minimizing residue.

Choose the right heel pads

Hydrogel heel pads on the market come in various thicknesses and sizes. Thinner pads are suitable for minor heel slippage, while thicker pads are suitable for shoes with larger gaps. Universal pads can be cut to fit various shoe shapes. Pre-molded pads are more convenient to use but have less adaptability. Choosing skin-tone or transparent colors is more aesthetically pleasing. Pay attention to the product's breathability and durability.

Correct pasting steps :

First, clean the inside of the heel of the shoe, ensuring it is free of dust and grease. Measure and mark the area where the adhesive will be applied. Cut the heel pads to size according to the measurements, ideally wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Remove the protective film and apply the pads smoothly from one side to the other. Apply even pressure with your fingers, especially around the edges. Let the pads sit for 2 hours after application to ensure a firm bond.

Helpful Tips:

For first-time users, it is recommended to test the adhesive on one shoe first to compare the effect. Adjust the placement and area of the adhesive based on the actual result. You may need to adjust to the new fit during initial wear. Avoid using in damp environments or on rainy days, as this may affect the adhesive strength. Regularly check the adhesive and replace the shoe if any edges start to peel up. To remove the shoe, you can use a hairdryer to lightly heat the adhesive and reduce its stickiness.

Advantages of using hydrocolloid heel pads

The cost is far lower than professional shoe repair. The procedure is simple and can be done by yourself. It causes no damage and does not alter the original structure of the shoe. The effect is immediate, instantly improving the wearing experience. It is safe and harmless, using medical-grade materials. It is flexible and can be adjusted to find the most suitable solution.
