Ninanoora Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I found out, very clever accessory for all us high heel wearers, who wish to take good care of their shoes. I believe this is great idea, didn't find website for that other product called "Heelies", propably aimed only for australian market. Tell me what you think.. "Following info is from their site" UPheels are small, transparent, anti sink shoe heel supports designed for high heels, kitten heels –any shoe with a stemmed heel.

fastfreddy2 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Good post. I had no idea such things existed. Google search found these: http://prettypinktoes.co.uk/cleanheels.aspx <and available !!> http://www.supadance.com/acatalog/Heel_Protectors_-_Original.html http://www.thedancersshop.co.uk/acatalog/Ballroom_Shoe_Accessories.html http://www.smartheel.com/demo.html Think I may try the cleanheel. I'm looking for a quieter way to wear high heels. I love the sound, but prefer silent shoes sometimes. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond.nl Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Some situations simply don't agree with heels. Attaching a $2.00 plastic cap to a beautiful $100 shoe doesn't do it for me. Wear flats or block heels on the grass and change into stiletto's for the party afterwards. My two cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavio Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (...) Tell me what you think.. (...) Nice find, I didn't know such accessory existed. Of course is better to wear chunk heels or flats on the grass but carry shoes to change in a party is not practical. As a man that is starting to street heeling I never had problems since I choose were I go before putting my beloved heels on but I know women like and sometimes have to wear stilletos in grass weddings. Many thanks Ninanoora! Flavio - Brazilian heel lover, now in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allu(M) Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Those supadance produtcs are made for Dance shoes not for outdoor use. In Finland every dance competitor must show their shoes to organizer. The organizer may claim that dance shoes need extra piece of leather to heel tip to prevent floor damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobHH Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have two pairs of Supadance men's dance shoes. I have seen the protectors for women's dance shoes but they are rarely used in the U.S. I have never heard of floor protection as described in Finland. I usually wear my 5" wedge heels when in the yard or garden rather than stilettos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think they'd look nicer if they were coloured rather than translucent. There's no hiding them, why not show them off?
