So that the boots do not fall off, you should reconsider the views on the wardrobe, as well as use one of the many anti-slip recipes. When choosing a method, consider your level of seamstress. If sewing does not belong to your strengths, then it is better to seek help from the studio.
When is this necessary?
Folk tricks from craftswomen
Consider the most interesting options that you can do with your own hands.
Choosing the right clothes
The two most common causes of slipping boots are: lack of fit and ease of slipping. Especially quickly, they descend down the nylon pantyhose, and this is due to the elasticity of the latter.
Important! Some manufacturers of hosiery products for women produce specialized anti-slip tights.
Wear warm stockings
Putting on knitted leggings over tights (we are talking about machine knitting), you get:
reduce the gap between the leg and the leg; - complement the look (socks and leggings peeking out from under the shoes in fashion);
- interfere with the slip process (the effect is achieved only with a certain type of stocking);
- fasten the bootleg with a rubber band (the gaiters should have one).
To make it work, choose dense stockings of machine knitting and a convex pattern . In addition, they must have a fixing gum. And they should be longer than the boots, not much, by 5-8 centimeters. They should be worn over tights. Then comes the boots. Shoe them, run over the top of the leggings. Straighten their edge with an elastic band.
Important! No stockings are needed if you wear shoes without tights. From a bare body, over the knee boots slip much worse than from clothes.
Double-sided body tape
In the case of stocking boots, adhesive double-sided tape will help fix the boot only for a short while . It’s impossible to determine the exact time, since there are a lot of unknowns: the materials of shoes and clothes, as well as the degree of “stickiness” of the adhesive tape itself play a role. The higher this quality, the longer the boots will be in place.
Stitching elastic
Option only for models in which the lock does not reach the end of the shaft. A tight but not too elastic band is sewn into this area from the inside. She should not dig into the body with a dead grip, otherwise it will be noticeable. Yes, and toe boots will cause discomfort.
Sewing in a plastic or silicone base
An elongated piece of thin but durable plastic is placed on the back of the shaft. He should not go horizontally, but vertically.
Create stitches
If you don’t feel sorry for jeans or leggings, sew small buttons on them, and loops are closer to the edge of the boots. In this case, sliding boots will be fastened to the leg.
Sewing anti-slip tape
A cut of rough uneven fabric surround the bootleg on the wrong side. As a restraining element, fleecy fabrics are also suitable.
Wire threading
Loop creation
Dancers at work resort to this particular method. An elastic-loop is sewn to the lining (not in a circle, but only to 1 place). During shoeing, the foot is threaded into the loop.
When is it nevertheless worth sacking boots?
The same can be said of very wide models. If the boot does not fit the leg, and the top of the shaft runs freely, then there is no point in sewing on the elastic bands or inserting the wire . Have to fit the product to size.
An attempt to dispense with "little blood" is likely to be unsuccessful even with over-boots that end on the most movable part of the leg - the knee. A constant change in the position of the joint, extension, flexion will lead to the lowering of the stocking boots. This problem is usually solved with the help of suturing and creating a backdoor. Due to it, the bootleg will become shorter, the movement of the knee will cease to lead to a decrease in overboot.
