It didn't affect the look of the boot and didn't cost anything! Realized it's most slippery on the newly waxed floors at work and fine on everything else.</p> <p>MrsK-I found thme at Nordstrom rack!

All was fine until I was walking through a store -- my heel slipped and down I went! Fortunately, the only part of me hurt was my ego. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1614325 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 02:07:36 +0000 MrsK 1614325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, beautiful! I had this problem before too and just took it to a cobbler. It was an inexpensive fix.</p> <p>Where did you find them for such a great price? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1611370 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 14:00:40 +0000 Glory 1611370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Frye boots were very slippery to the point of dangerous. I was able to purchase some grips at the local Aldo's and that has done the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1611288 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 02:50:09 +0000 Suz 1611288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are absolutely beautiful and I hope you get them to grip properly. I wish I had known that they work for shorter calves. This is an issue for me, also, and this type of boot is exactly what I want. Sigh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1611268 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 01:56:16 +0000 rusberri 1611268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions- I'll bring them to a cobbler to get grips added on.</p> <p>K.Period-The heel slips when I'm walking indoors especially, the soles are fine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1611257 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 00:50:25 +0000 K. Period. 1611257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slippery heels as in your heel slips when you wear them? Or as in you are worried that the soles won't grip the pavement? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1611069 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 16:52:22 +0000 Diana 1611069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also recommend taking them to a cobbler to have grips added.&nbsp; Sometimes if it's particularly slick, I'll actually just have them replace the whole heel plate with a rubber lug-style plate (which has better traction and is longer lasting).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1610996 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 12:50:22 +0000 Janet 1610996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have taken a couple of pairs of slippery soled boots to the cobbler -- they can add a non-slip surface to the sole or the heel or both. As a klutz who has broken a wrist from a slip and fall, this is very important to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1610991 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 12:30:54 +0000 Aquamarine 1610991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S....wow, great price. They are beautiful boots for us shorties with thin calves. I will enjoy mine for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1610989 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 12:29:31 +0000 Aquamarine 1610989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these boots and have not found them slippery, and I am a klutz. They are fairly grippy on normal floors/sidewalks...hard to see in the photo. The soles are not smooth on my boots, rather rubbery instead. I have not had a chance to wear them in bad weather, however....hardly any snow here this year so far.</p> <p>You could take them to a cobbler. It's a simple, cheap fix to add grips. I have done that for other shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1610918 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 01:58:19 +0000 greycat6 1610918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Rusberri,</p> <p>Those heels do look like they could be slippery so I see why you are concerned. &nbsp;You could try scuffing the sole with sand paper to see if that helps. &nbsp;If that doesn't do the trick try taking it to a cobbler and having grips added to the heel. &nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slippery-heel-sole-on-aquatalia-boot#post-1610915 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 01:39:38 +0000 rusberri 1610915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there, I read several discussions about solving the slippery sole problem on boots but couldon't find anything on a slippery heel sole. I picked up a pair of Aquatalia boots (<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/aquatalia-gianna-weatherproof-boot-women-nordstrom-exclusive/3994632" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/aq.....ve/3994632</a>) for a steal at $74 (!) which was exactly what I was looking for and fit close to perfect - a miracle because I am only 5 ft and pretty petite which makes finding high boots a real challenge. Anyone ever have a problem with Aquatalia boot soles? Is there a good fix for the the heel sole portion of it?<br /> Thanks in advance, I love reading the forums here-so,so helpful and informative! </p>
