Zara Tindall just shared the perfect tip to stop your heels from sinking into grass as your next event as she’s spotted wearing a £4 Amazon buy at Buckingham Palace Garden Party
Summer is the season of all kinds of events, from weddings and graduations to baby showers and garden parties, but if there’s one thing that’ll ruin your day in an instant it’s trying to struggle across grass in a pair of high heels. It’s a given that the smaller your heel the easier it’ll sink into soft grass, which can make wearing a pair of stilettos – even kitten heel ones – treacherous.
It seems even Royals are prone to the struggle, but Zara Tindall just showed off the perfect trick to make it easier to navigate a grassy area – no matter how tall or skinny your heels are. Princess Anne’s daughter was spotted at Buckingham Palace Garden Party wearing some clever heel protectors just like these Footful 1 Pair of High Heel Stoppers for Grass, £3.99 here, giving us all hope for our next outdoor occasion.
The clever heel stoppers are a super simple idea that work by slotting onto the tip of your heel. They have a wide, flat base that gives your heels a larger surface area, preventing them from not only sinking into grass but also getting stuck between things like paving stones or decking boards.
Not only that, but they also help stop your heels from getting damaged or dirty and stained from puddles, mud or spills, keeping you heels looking pristine. The protectors are also completely clear making them almost invisible at first glance, so it doesn’t matter what colour or pattern your heels are.
Shoppers have been praising how handy they are, with one saying: “This product will save me from spoiling new shoes as I always seem to get my heels stuck between pavement slabs. I can also use them on shoes to enable me to wear them when I go ballroom dancing.”
Another said: “Worn at a wedding and stopped my heels sinking in grass or between decking boards.” Whilst a third wrote: “I have arthritis in my hands and fingers and found them difficult to put on my shoes. I took them in very warm water which made them much more pliable and then managed to get them on.”
Some shoppers found them tricky to put or discovered they were too narrow to fit over their shoes’ heels. The protectors have a width of 6mm-8mm which is perfect for very narrow stilettos, but if your shoes have a slightly thicker heel this set of High Heel Protectors, £5.58 here, comes in a pack with five different sizes ranging from 8mm to 15-16mm, making sure they fit just about any shoes in your wardrobe.
If you just want one pair but want to be able to pick the right size, these Wedding Mates High Heel Stiletto Heel Stoppers, £3.99 here, are not only an absolute bargain but they come in a choice of different sizes as well as giving you the option of either black or clear stoppers. We love a handy hack!
