Noisy High Heels

saggycaggy · 06-02-2014 10:14am #1

I've just started wearing heels in the office (usually I'm in little flat pumps) and they are loud in the very very quiet office and I'm a bit self conscious about it!

Is there anything I can put on the bottom to stop them making the clickity clack noise when I walk?

Thanks!

Are the heel tips plastic or metal? If they're metal you can bring them to the cobblers and have plastic ones put on instead. But you're probably just self conscious because you're not used to them. Also bear in mind a stiletto (skinny) heel will always make more noise than one with a larger surface area at the heel tip.

Thanks Dee_Mc, they're plastic on the sole. Yeah they're probably not that bad it's just the office is super quiet and with only one other woman so the only noise people here is me clip clopping around:p

Still worth calling in to the cobblers, just remembering I had boots with quite a soft sole and he applied a thin rubber layer to the sole and heel to make them stronger, as a side effect it also made them quieter! Maybe that would work for yours too?

Yeah no harm in trying! Thanks a mill for that.

Don't even dream of doing anything about you noisy heels. Heels make a statement [devil wears prada etc] . I used to work in an office where nearly all the girls wore heels and the air was filled with ''clik-clak'' constantly. I don't think anyone paid too much attention to the sound [ i hate to call it noise ]. I know that in your working envoirnment it is different but personally I'd like to wear my heels uninhibited.

If you can fix it I'd go for it. Nothing more annoying than trying to concentrate on something and all you can hear is the echoing of a clack clack clack as someone approaches from ages away!
