Got that sinking feeling? Avoid it with heel protectors.

We all know that beautiful high heels come with their drawbacks, one of which is that horrible sensation when you step onto a lawn, a beach, or someone’s luxury linoleum flooring and feel your heels slowly sinking into the soft surface. The result- dirty, damaged shoes and holes stabbed into the lawn.

That’s why I love the heel protectors sold by companies such as Solemates.com and PrettyPinkToes.co.uk These easy-to-use little gadgets slip onto your heels to stop you from sinking into soft surfaces. Keep your heels out of cracks, cobblestones and gaps in grates and don’t worry about breaking or damaging a heel again.

They are also great for preventing damage to wooden floors and lino. Even better, they can easily be decorated with diamante, pearls, crystals and beads to personalise them.

Ideal for garden or beach weddings, or locations with expensive or old flooring. Many venues not even allow stilleto and other high heeled shoes for fear of damage to their flooring – with these little gizmos you can safely wear any shoes you please!
