Hello!
i was wondering if any warbrobe stylist have any tricks or tips on taping flat shoes without it coming off? They don't stay because the bend in the shoe when they walk, stretches the tape and it starts to peel off and They don't put on the shoes til we get to the spot.

Would love to know any advice for this issue.

Thank you so much!

Try adding heel pads with no-show socks.In my experience they really help with keeping flats from slipping. Or you could stuff tissue at the toe part or heel part of the shoe.The only thing about tissue stuffing is that the tissue sometimes gets damp from foot sweat.So only use it as an absolute last resort.

if you are taping the shoe bottom to protect the backdrop/seamless using the right tape helps. mostly use 2" wide masking tape that has some stretch and it hasn't been a problem. otherwise just bend the shoe, then apply the tape to the curve.
