A slight heel slip is not unusual with new shoes and can often be improved with a few simple tips. 😊
✅ 1. Break in your shoes
New shoes often need a little time to adapt to the shape of your feet. Wear them for shorter periods at first – the fit usually improves after a few wears.
2. Adjust the lacing
Tightening the laces around the upper part of the shoe can help secure your heel and reduce slipping.
3. Check the size and shoe width
The right size and shoe width are essential for the best fit.

🧦 4. Try thicker socks
Depending on the model, slightly thicker socks can improve the fit and help keep your heel securely in place.
