Does anyone know how to make slides fit a bit tighter? I was gifted a pair of fancy ones and while they're my size in length, the strap -- (edited)

isn't adjustable and they're a bit too loose when I walk in them. Is there something that can be put under the strap to make it tighter against my foot?

A friend’s sister who worked at a shoe store once gave me some little felt things to go under my heel for this. Worked ok. -- (link) - mafic Jul 20, 07:42 5
- I'm thinking I can cut it and put it under the strap which should fix the oversized issue I'm having. - Krusty Jul 20, 07:54
- my solution is much less expensive -- nm - decline Jul 20, 07:48 2
  - They were free when I got them. A lot of shoe stores will give them away. -- nm - mafic Jul 20, 07:51
  - But I'd have to carry a stapler and staple remover all day. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 07:51
- Can't hurt to give it a try. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 07:43

- I think I need something a bit thicker. I may have to make something myself. I was thinking gauze pads and some kind of tape but I worry about - Krusty Jul 20, 07:41 13
  - just hit yourself in the feet with a sledgehammer before putting them on. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 07:54 12
    - Once I've broken every bone I won't care because I won't be able to walk for a couple of months. - Krusty Jul 20, 07:55 11

        I thought you liked playing WITH people???? -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:13 5
        
        I do and I should give Fortnite a try. My hesitation is being late to the party and as usual everyone is an expert. - Krusty Jul 20, 08:34 4
        
        it is free, it hurts nothing to give it a try. - groiny Jul 20, 08:37 3
        
        Okay, I'll be on tonight. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 08:41 2
        
        I can only speak for myself, when I first started playing, I enjoyed it even though I was terrible. - groiny Jul 20, 08:42 1
        
        I've watched a few videos so I know a bit. As long as it's fun losing isn't the worst thing. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 08:54
