Thanks. (A. via Fashion Advice) More Nine West...

Stylist Advice- Help, my heel is too small and I trip out of my shoes!

 Dear Sharon:  For the past three years, I trip out of my shoes. It started when I was on the my way to job interview when, all of a sudden, both my feet slipped out of my pumps! I had been wearing these pumps all year and now they didn't fit. It was a nightmare just to make it to the door of the interview as I couldn't take a "normal" step without losing a shoe.
