Plain wedges to ankle strap wedges

The problem with these shoes was that they were loose and coming off.
 I could not walk comfortably so I thought to make ankle straps.


I made a pattern and traced it on the relics of an old pair of boots:


...cut it and glued the sides...



...glued it inside each shoe...


...the back...


...used ankle straps I had from some old flats..


...and the result:



Now it's absolutely comfortable and I like their style more.

Thanks for reading!

I have a pair of shoes that I need to try this with! They keep sliding off my heels when I walk.
