High heels can be notoriously difficult to walk in, but Hillary Clinton has an ingenious trick.
While speaking onstage today at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the former first lady wore a pair of black pumps with anti-slip pads pasted to the bottom. Apart from the shoes, Clinton wore one of her signature pantsuits, choosing a dark color with a matching shell underneath.
Her footwear was a pair of black pumps with a pointed toe and kitten heel. The shoes appeared to have a smooth sole, which can lead to slippage on wet floors and other slick surfaces. Anti-slip pads are made of non-skid material, reducing the likelihood of sliding or even falling in high heels. They also can increase the life span of shoes by preventing wear and tear on the sole.
Throughout her decades in the public eye, Clinton has worn many hats, but one thing has remained virtually unchanged: her penchant for demure, comfort-focused footwear. The Yale Law School alum tends to choose flats or heels with heights of two inches or less, most often picking understated colorways like black, tan and white. Past worn brands of Clinton’s include Miu Miu, Salvatore Ferragamo and Chloe.
While Clinton is a millionaire, her heel hack is actually very affordable: We spotted anti-slip pads on Amazon.com for as little as $6. Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite options.

Now that I know what kind of shoes the hildabeast wears my life is complete.
Take me Lord, for I have seen it all.
uh ....not sure this is some breakthrough....sort of like water is wet and the sky is blue
Did she wear ol' crusty???
Ha! You remind me of Simeon in the Bible!
“... her penchant for demure, comfort-focused footwear...”
Well-with ankles like hers, you don’t want to draw too much attention to your feed. :)
Correction: FEET
seems like those pads might also make you stumble
I agree
Yes, but “Footwear News”?
First is that a thing and second if it is which of their 4 readers posted this?
HELLary’s “wife”, Huma, is ALWAYS nearby & following her “husband”.
The word DEMURE should never be used in any article pertaining to Jabba The Hut, Chet the WEIRD SCIENCE poo monster, and especially the elder female Clinton beast.
Like all women who wear heels, Hillary feels inadequate about her stature. In attempt to measure up, she artificially increases her height by wearing shoes with height enhancing heels
Like her politically motivated Marie Antoinette would be Queen predecessor, height induced feelings of inferiority are remedied by elevated shoe heels
So she pays those hacks $6?...................
I agree. In fact I’ve had a mishap or two with non-skid shoes myself, from not picking my foot up quite high enough.
The solution is to wear the right shoes in the first place- not smooth-soled but not too much of a non-skid sole. I’m sure those designers make such shoes although I wouldn’t know from experience.
Interestingly, the clips I’ve seen of her losing her footing (if not just passing out) she hasn’t been wearing heels.
AK trailer trash to millionaires in 10 years....
