What to do if your boots keep falling off? The simplest and most effective way to prevent your boots from falling off

Long boots are a type of shoes that many female friends like to wear in autumn and winter. Although long boots look good, ill-fitting long boots will start to fall down while walking, which is really embarrassing.

(1) If the space inside the boot is too large, try wearing more socks.

If the calves are too wide, you can wear mid-calf socks. If the knees are too wide, you can wear knee pads. If both the upper and lower parts are wide, you can wear thick socks or thick leggings or jeans that are slightly lower than the boot shaft to reduce the space inside the boot shaft and increase the friction between the boot shaft and the legs so that the boots will not slide down.

(2) Sew elastic bands on the loose parts of the boots

Specific method: prepare two sections by yourself or go to a shoe repair place to buy two sections of black elastic bands. The width is best to be nearly one centimeter, otherwise it will be too tight. As for the length, sew the two ends of the elastic band together to form a circle, and put it on the leg. The position is about 1-2 cm below the highest point of the boot shaft after putting on the boots. It is OK if the elastic ring can wrap around the leg without falling off and is not too tight. Then fold the elastic ring in half and sew the two ends on the boot shaft with a shoe repair machine. Find the most hidden place with small decorations, which is not easy to see after sewing. In this way, after putting on the boots, because there is an elastic band wrapped around the leg, the boot shaft will not fall off easily. The disadvantage is that it is very reluctant to sew on very expensive boots or leather boots or very new boots; in addition, some boots have no decorations, and the stitches may be visible.

Applicable boots: This method is more suitable for "one-step" boots, of course, boots with zippers can also be tried; if there are small decorative patterns on the top of the boot shaft, it would be better, and the stitching can be sewn along the decoration, which is not easy to see; the other is that the boots are not very expensive when they are bought, or they are not too new, so you are willing to tinker with them to make them more comfortable to wear.

(3) Buy two wide ribbons of the same color, punch two holes in the boots, and tie them up.

Specific method: Cut a V-shaped opening on the boot shaft on the front and back (of course the side is also OK, I personally think the back makes the legs look thinner), then punch a hole on each side of the V, place the ribbon on the inside of the shoe through the two holes, and tie a bow on the outside.

Of course, you can also punch more holes and make it into a strappy style which is also very fashionable, but the prerequisite is that you must have good skills.

(4) Open a zipper or make a pleat to reduce the width of the boots.

Go to a shoe repair shop and have them pinch a pleat on one side of the shoe shaft. Then see if they have scraps of the same material and use a few to make tassels to hang on both sides of the shoes. This will solve the problem of the shoes falling off without cutting the shoe shaft too much (if you cut too much and want to make the shoe shaft looser, you won't be able to do it), and it will also look beautiful.

(5) If the leather of the boots is too soft and cannot be held up, you can find a professional shoe repair shop to add a thick lining.

The simplest and most effective way to prevent your boots from falling off

If your boots tend to fall off, you can use transparent double-sided tape to stick them along the edge of the boots. This can effectively solve the problem of slipping. Note that the double-sided tape can be slightly lowered to create a traceless paste. If this phenomenon is more serious, you can consider buying boots with straps.

How to maintain long leather boots in winter

When you don't wear long boots in winter, it is recommended that you use paper balls or cardboard to stuff the boots to support them, so as to prevent the boots from deforming. Store the boots in a high enough place to prevent the boots from bending.

(1) When the boots are not worn, use a cardboard tube to stand the boots upright to help maintain their shape.

(2) When buying long boots, you should buy the right size and the shape of the boots should also fit your legs. Genuine leather boots are relatively soft and have poor shaping, so don’t buy boots that are too loose. When you put them on, leave at most 1.5-2 cm of space at the boot opening. Don’t buy boots that are too straight. Generally, you should buy boots that are slim-fitting and streamlined, and that can wrap your legs tightly.

Who should wear over-the-knee boots?

1. Over-the-knee boots are suitable for tall girls with long legs.

2. Short people can also wear over the knee boots as long as their legs are not fat.

3. Short girls should wear over-the-knee boots a little bit past the knees, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

4. If you have thin legs, wearing shorter boots can show off your beautiful legs. Over-the-knee boots are suitable for very long legs, and they don’t need to be very thin.
