hairspray on heels?
 

I have been looking up ways to make slippery shoes into non-slippery shoes, and one tip that keeps coming up is to spray them with hair spray.
Has anyone on here tried it?does it work?and if so, for how long?
I have got my wedding shoes (and had them dyed, so cant take them back) but they have a completely smooth sole.I'm frightened enough of tripping down the aisle and now i have a new worry of slipping down the aisle :(

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

rub them with coarse sandpaper

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I also found that tip, but i'd rather not as hopefully im selling them after the wedding to get a bit of my £60 i had to pay for them back(!) If the hairspray works i would much rather do that so i dont damage the sole anymore than i have to...maybe i will spray them today and parade around a bit to see if i do/don't end up on my behind.

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Sell them as having roughed up sole's so you don't slip. They might be worth more :D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I'm certainly not selling anything as a "roughed up 'sole" thankyou v much Neil ;)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

If you wanna test them for slipping try them on my laminate :D Im forever slipping on it in heels

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I think that you are being very optimistic about being able to sell them on after the wedding.
I have sold footwear on ebay - only leather footwear sells - then at only a small fraction of original cost, even when in unworn or worn once condition.

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I shall be putting them on ebay as i know there are a large amount of women with big feet and only a few places to buy big shoes........if they were an average size i might think twice but they are not. *yes i have big feet*
Plus i know i will never wear them again so i would rather have £5 in my pocket rather than a pair of shoes in my wardrobe, taking up space and collecting dust.

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Please reconsider - Is the risk of a slip down the aisle worth the fiver you might get if you sell them?

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

either score them with a knife or use a match box on them

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I might have to "attack" some of my shoes..........

Am terrible for slipping on my bum coz of silly shoes :rolleyes:

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I used a bastard file, like the one below, on a pair of Rhonda's shoes the other week when she went out.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:IM SHOCKED :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:






you let her out?:D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

She is always out, it's me that is not allowed out :(

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I'm surprised your actually let in rather than not being allowed out ;)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

she needed a babysitter :p

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Haha i could learn alot from Rhonda!

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Stick some rubber soles on em :D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

You certainly could ;)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

SEXY TIME!!!

haha il pass on that one!

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Like how to not fall off my chair laughing at you?:D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

OK then, pull a condom over them :D :D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

how on earth have you fellas managed to make a question about shoes, dirty????

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I just can't help being funny

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Its a gift :D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

certainly a twist on 'giving them the boot'! :D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Shoes are dirty, they rub on the floor :D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I didn't say you could ;)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

you're dirty, but i'm not gunna ask what you rub on :p:D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I can see this ending up in the over 18's........

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Not if you are all careful ;)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

I'm always careful ;)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Because I am being good I will not comment ;):D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Don't start being good life will get boring for us:eek::p

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Have you got any of those circular sandpaper things you put on a drill attachment? You could cut some pieces off those and stick them on your soles.

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Just thought...Might not look so clever whilst you are knelt at the altar though...unless you use emery ones!

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

You will ruin any wooden/tiled/lino floor you walk on

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

This is true!
But as it is only for the day...Aren't the church aisles usually carpeted? Must profess I don't know. And she won't be wearing them again...

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

As Neil says...not a good idea. I don't think Misskitty's getting married in a church and even if she was it's not just the church floor she'd have to worry about marking. :(

Misskitty....I agree with those who have said that roughing up the soles with a file is your best bet. :)

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

i think they are getting 'done' at the regisrty office....

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Sorry for not knowing where she was getting married, lol! wasn't privy to that.

Any ways up, KSH's suggestion seems the most logical...cobblers, a couple of quid, and non slip rubber soles. that's what I do when i have slippy shoes.

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

So you should be.:whip::D

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

rub the soles with some sandpaper to create a non slip sole......

Re: hairspray on heels?
 

Hey! Watch it! :D

I'm a "semi - Newbie" here- having been here at the beginning of the forum, and just come back... I need to catch up, lol!:D
