peachyshoes Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Ok I love my patent shoes, however I am having a problem. When I walk in them occasionially I will take a step with my feet too close together and they stick to each other. This either causes me to walk out of the shoe or with the really high heels take a bit of a stumble. This is pretty embarassing as Im feeling/ looking sexy then make a bit of a fool out of myself. Does anyone else have this problem? If so is there anything I can do to stop them from sticking? Thankyou Mel
shrimper Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 I know several people who use petroleum jelly to clean their patent leathers. Maybe a thin film will prevent them from sticking on contact. Just a suggestion.
Shafted Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Mel, Be thankful you're not wearing patent thighboots, that gets real interesting if they happen to brush together. Shafted, the boots that is!

Shafted Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Not yet, but when that much patent comes together they can effectively lock up. Shafted, the boots that is!

Dawn HH Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Peachy:-) Yes...I have had that problem a few times through the years but never did anything to solve it as it happens so infrequently. Some of the patent shoes that I have had for a while have small scratches in the patent from this but not through the patent and are almost invisible unless you are looking for them. I also have a pair where I got too close to the toe-box when crossing my ankles and left a mark on the opposite toe-box with the heel tip. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Fogane Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 I've never had the problem when walking but it can be a pain when crossing the legs while seated in patent boots. Are there any scientist type people around who can explain why such a nice smooth and shiny to touch surface has such a huge amount a friction against itself?
Dawn HH Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Fogane:-) That is a great question and I would like to know the answer myself. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Shafted Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Remember Colorforms? I think its the same property. Shafted, the boots that is!

Dawn HH Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Colorforms??? Boy, does that bring back old memories. I haven't heard about them in a thousand years. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
