What to do so that the boots do not slip?

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?

Leather and suede boots due to slipping sooner or later begin to deform. Folds will appear. The more there are, the worse the boot sits on the foot. As a result, the circle will be closed and you will have to get rid of the shoes that have lost their shape. Also, drastic measures can not be avoided by girls who have dramatically lost weight, but decided to continue using their favorite pair of shoes. In their case, the difference between the new volume of the leg and the width of the leg is too large.

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.

Having found out the causes of the phenomenon, it is easy to find a solution. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen the fit of the shaft and make it difficult to slip. It follows from the school physics course that roughness and unevenness prevent gliding. Based on this rule, we get that under the over-boots, not thin capron should be worn, but dense tights with a convex pattern . Of course, in choosing a pattern you need to know the measure - it should be invisible. Leggings should be sewn from rough non-smooth material (for example, from velveteen).

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

This idea at first glance seems insane, but in fact, double-sided tape is a universal lifesaver. It is used when you need to beautifully drape the fabric on the open back or fix the neckline in a very open dress. Stars that are forced to wear high heels in spite of pain do not do without it (they put on a pair 1-2 sizes larger on the parties, and stick their leg so that it does not slip in the sandal).

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

She is sewn to the wrong side at a level above the knee. The joint will not let the wire drop below. Consequently, the stocking boots will remain in place.

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?

Eraser, scotch tape, stockings - these are measures designed only for light suede and fabric over the knee boots. If stocking boots are sewn from genuine leather, and inside they have thick fur, then tricks will not help. The bootleg will continue to fall down, driven by the force of its own gravity, and a small loop will not stop it. Here cardinal steps are needed.

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.
