Loose-fitting heels? Easy fix.

Your heels may be too big for a variety of reasons — here is a quick and easy fix for that problem!
All you need are Heel Grips:

I got mine at CVS for $3.50.  Make sure you don’t buy “heel liners” by mistake! Heel liners are not textured, and they don’t make my heels easier to walk in.

The texture helps prevent your heel from slipping out of your shoes.

Apply it to the inside of your shoe where your heel is.
The back of the heel grip is a strong adhesive.

I found it most effective to apply the heel grip as close to the top as possible.
But make sure it does not stick out over the shoe.

See, you can’t even see that there are heel grips inside the shoe. :)

I do not buy heels that don’t fit me on purpose!  My problem is that I have wide feet and a normal size that fits my feet length-wise does not always fit my feet width-wise.  I usually have to buy a half to one size up; this means there will always be extra space length-wise.  But it’s okay! These heel grips are a huge lifesaver!  I have only seen them at CVS :[  The other drugstores only have heel liners :(

If you have the same problem or if you simply have a pair of heels that are a bit too big, this may be a solution.  Feel free to watch my YouTube video about how to effectively apply heel grips.

    i go to macys and ask for the heel grips and they give them to me for free. you can just say you bought a pair of shoes the other day that are too big and need some more padding :)

    my peep toe became really tight at the front when i put these liners/grip thing on. am i doing something wrong somewhere? is it because my foot is going too much to the front now? kindly advise thanks!

      Hi Sherilyn!
      If they are too tight maybe they fit better without them? Or you can look around to see if they sell any thinner heel gripers. (try asking at Macys – I know they give them out, but I don’t know how thin/thick they are)

      I always put them in the back of my heel first and try my foot in it before I actually use the adhesive to stick it on my heels. I hope that is helpful & goodluck :)

    I found heel grips at DSW today! It costs $3.95 for 2 pairs of heel grips. They call them heel liners for some reason though, but they are textured and look identical to the CVS ones.
