With the rise in temperatures, sandals are rescued from the back of the closet to give them a new life. However, with repeated use over time they lose quality and firmness. In fact, one of the main reasons why sandals have to be constantly renewed is due to the loss of support in the back.

Faced with this problem, experts and footwear companies themselves have sought a solution to avoid having to buy a new model every so often. It consists of the “rubber trick”, an invention that promises perfect support regardless of the condition of the model.

The methodology consists of placing a hair tie on the shoelace, so that it is attached to the scrunchie and there is a circle wide enough for a foot to be inserted. The tape is placed at ankle level, a solution so that the tape remains motionless all the time.

This solution is only suitable for dresses, skirts or pants long enough to hide this hair accessory. The British footwear brand Simmi London has been the promoters of this simple and practical trick to encourage more responsible fashion consumption.
