So, I know, I know, I'm sort of bringing up a dead topic. However, I used to have a HUGE problem with this and many of the other girls I worked with had the same problem. We had a special show going on and and a visitor came through and we noticed that her toes didn't fall out and she gave us this little tip, which I loved. (It, however, only works on the lucite shoes with the clear plastic straps.)

 

If anyone has ever had to mold a mouthpiece to their mouth/their childs mouth, this is the same concept. When I would buy new shoes, I would take a blow dryer (on low) and gently warm the plastic until it was pliable (be careful not to warm it too much or it will burn). Then, put your shoes on and get comfortable. The next part I didn't want to do at first because, let's face it, shoes can be expensive, but I used an old pair I didn't care if I messed up until I was sure this would work. Anyway, the next thing is to use cold water to cool the plastic back off and mold your foot to the shoe. I suppose if you didn't want to get your foot wet, you could always use ice packs instead, but by putting cold on so rapidly while it's still warm, it causes the shoe to conform to your foot like a custom shoe would.

The only shoe problem I had after this was if I got too hot, my foot would start to sweat and then it would start to slide… but I just have a problem in general with sweaty feet 🙁 LOL
