Stuck Heels ! - Page 2

Feline · 28-04-2005

The pavements here are really bad - very uneven & cracked. On several occasions, I have lost heel tips and twice lost heels. Still, it keeps my shoe repairer busy & out of mischief!

my friend wore stilettos to classes one day (i have NO idea why) and her shoe got stuck in the sidewalk...
and she couldnt get it out..
so two other girls walking by decided to help her out...
and after like 5+ minutes they managed to save her shoe...

it was infront of the business school's building so everyone..
literally hundreds of people walking in and out of the building..
saw.. three girls... pulling a shoe out!!

i've been a victim of this to it nearly ruined the leather on the heels of my shoe

im always scared of getting them stuck and not able to get them out again

flats are so much safer imo.

I have a question for all of the women who have had this happened to them - did any of you ever leave your shoe? My friend went to NYC and said that she got her heel stuck and just left her shoe there! Mind you that this was a Rene Caovilla wrap sandal (which IMO was gorgeous!) and she just left it there! Anyway, does this kinda thing happen often in NYC? Because I want to be prepared, even if that means avoiding certain places all together. I refuse to give up wearing heels because I love them and because flats are not an option for me (I'm 5'1).

yep that's happened to me. The worse is when I've walked right out of the shoe and have had to turn around.

In New York I've never gotten my shoe so badly stuck that I couldn't just yank it out.

A few yars ago, during lunch hour, my female co-worker and I went to a midtown NYC bank with escalators to the 2nd floor. She had on black thin stiletto pumps. As we walked onto the escalator, BOTH heels got caught in the thin slats of the steps! She turned to me and whispered that her shoes were stuck and I could see her trying to get them free on a crowded escalator. She had to lean on me to keep her balance. I bent down to try and pry them free. The top of the escalator was approaching fast and I was able to free both heels with her pulling at the same time. Both heel leather coverings were shredded.
Now I dont mind a little damsel in distress, but that was a bit scary for her.........Another time at a bus stop on a HOT day, a woman had her heel stuck in some asphalt that softened up. That stuff is like glue in the summertime! I had to remove her foot and then really yank on the shoe. Her heel was really sunk pretty good........................so many stories................
