Soles on Women's dress shoes thin and slick?
I would like to know why manufacturers' make women's shoes with such thin, slick soles! I'm not talking cheap shoes here either.
I just bought a new pair of shoes and I walked around in my living room on the carpet for an hour or so and they felt fine so I wore them to work the next day. As soon as I stepped out of the car onto blacktop my feet started to go out from under me. I thought maybe there was some dew on the ground but when I got inside to the carpeting I was sliding all over the place.
Had a similar problem three years ago and fell and shattered my elbow and required two surgeries. I can't return the shoes now and I am going to take them to a shoe repair shop to see if they can put some kind of non-slip surface on them. Anyone else have this issue?
I have tried sand paper and it doesn't work on this particular type of sole.

Because they figure women won't be wearing the same shoes every day so we don't need the soles to be thicker because they won't get as much wear.
As for the slipping issue, the very first thing I do when I get new shoes is take them and rub sand paper all over the bottom of the sole to rough it up and give it grip.
