Causes and countermeasures for pumps to come off! Heel pakapaka has already graduated!

Jun 26, 2020
Pumps that make your legs look longer and more beautiful are indispensable as a fashion item for women. Many people may need to wear it as a work pattern or business rule. On the other hand, the most common complaints about pumps are that the heels are stiff and the pumps come off. This time, mamian, a store specializing in women's shoes, will thoroughly explain "why pumps come off and what to do about it".

What causes your heels to float or come off?

If your heels pop when you wear pumps, it's a sign that the pumps don't fit your feet. In the first place, pumps cover only a small area of your feet, so if they don't fit your feet properly, they will come off quickly. Women who wear pumps with puffy heels can give off a sloppy impression, even if they are stylish. If there are people who say, "I'm wearing them with my heels sticking out!", let's find out why the pumps come off.

pump size big

If the size of the pumps is large, there will always be a gap, making it easier to take off. Some people may say, "I'm wearing the same size pumps as usual?", but in reality, you can't check if the shoes fit your feet just by looking at the size chart. Also, when you wear pumps with heels, your feet will slide (slip) on your toes, so there are many cases where you think your shoes are the perfect size, but are actually too big.

Left and right feet are different sizes

The size of a person's foot is different on the left and right. So a pump that fits one foot may be too big or too small for the other. Depending on the person, the length of the left and right legs may differ, so it is important to know the characteristics of your feet in order to choose pumps that do not come off. "The size of the pumps is too big" and "the size of the left and right feet are different" These two points can be solved by measuring the size properly.

Changes in foot size due to swelling

It is said that the size of a human foot differs by 5% between morning and night due to swelling. Edema is caused by the inability of the body to control fluid levels. If you stay in the same position for a long time or work while standing, your center of gravity will be concentrated in one place, and water will accumulate, making it easier for swelling to occur. Of course, the pumps I tried on when my feet were swollen felt bigger when the swelling was gone. Trying on pumps should be done with healthy feet as much as possible.

Choose pumps designed to be easy to take off

Pumps are originally designed to be easy to put on and take off, but especially those with a shallow opening are designed to be easy to take off. Among pumps, pumps with a design that covers a smaller area of the foot are more likely to have a loose heel, so it is necessary to match the size more accurately.

Choose pumps that match the size and width of your feet

The main rule is to choose pumps that match your foot size (foot length) and width (foot circumference).

Choose pumps with straps

For those who find it easy to take off their pumps, one option is to choose pumps with straps. Even with pumps that cover a small area of the foot, the strap allows the foot to walk without lifting off the shoe. For pumps without straps, you can use commercially available shoe bands. Also, even pumps without straps can be fitted with straps later if you ask a specialist shop such as a shoe repair shop.

treat bunions

If you have bunions, even if you wear pumps that match your size and width, your feet will get stuck in the front of your shoes, making it easier to take off your pumps. Also, if you leave your bunions unattended and keep wearing pumps, your bunions may get worse. If you have bunions, treat them first and then choose pumps that fit your feet.

Use insoles and stoppers

If your feet are different sizes on your left and right, or if you want to take measures immediately, use commercially available insoles, cushions for pumps, and stoppers that you can attach to your heels. Unless you have custom-made pumps, finding the right shoes for your feet can be difficult. If you can't find pumps that fit your feet, use commercially available shoe care products to adjust the pumps to fit your feet.
