I need some tips on how to keep the straps on my slingback shoes from slipping off my heel every few minutes, how can i fix this?

hmmm.... I feel like there are some things you can buy at a shoe store or the drugstore that help with that. I don't have that problem a lot, so I can't give any more specifics. But check out the aisle with the insoles next time you're at the drugstore or shoe store.

You could try toupe or double-stick tape stuck to the back of your heel where the strap holds on...

I was reading in a past Lucky that spraying Extra Hold hairspray in shoe will help.

I haven't been able to find anything and I have looked, extensively. I finally had to admit that I just can't wear slingbacks:(. Good luck though!

I can't wear them either. I tried to wear a pair last weekend and and had the same problem.

I try to avoid slingbacks for that reason. But, I have had the greatest success by just having a cobbler shorten the strap.

I was going to say the same thing as luckylily, take them to a "shoeguy" and he will shorten them for like $5.

I found these Kiwi Smiling Feet strap liners at Target, they work pretty well for me.
