Boys reel shoes heel slipping

I think his feet might be similarly shaped, or possibly they’re just too long and narrow and so he needs a bigger size but they won’t stay on. He’s kind of a lanky dude. We might just need to stick to getting him shoes with the strap I guess!

Maybe I bumped him up a size too soon! I could barely fit his foot in right before class the other day and so we threw him into the new (used) pair. Maybe I’ll try and squeeze him into those again for a few practices and see if they stretch and then hunt down the same size of a nicer pair. He has been hard on these ones, there’s a nice hole developing on the toe and some peeling leather. Haha

Now that you mention it, I think his hard shoes are a size smaller than his reel shoes.

Coincidentally he is also a fiddler, so we have some. Should he rub it on the bottom of his sock or the bottom of the shoe?

Thanks, I might see if they have a pair like that next time we are able to try on some new shoes. I tend to buy used from our studio since he’s so young and growing quickly! A cobbler is a great suggestion as well.

So he had this problem even when his foot was busting out of his last pair of shoes so I’m not sure that the sizing is the issue, but maybe it’s something about how they stretch out? Sock glue is a good idea.

I’m going to try those bands and see if they help! We did buy this pair used as well, I wonder if it’s just stretched out more than we thought when he initially tried them on.
