How do I keep my boots from sliding down?

Simply place a loop of double-sided tape around your leg (preferably over nylons, tights, leggings, or socks) where the top of your boots will sit. Once you put them on, gently press your boots into the band of tape to help keep them secure.

Purchase an adhesive tape for boots, like Boot Stay or Boot Straps. Simply peel off the protective backing and stick the adhesive tape to the inside of the top of the boots. The adhesive tape will stick your boots to your pants or stockings and keep them from slipping down and slouching at the ankle.

Make a "boot bra".

Cut two pieces of knit elastic to fit around each of your thighs and sew or glue the ends of each one to make both into their own loop, then attach velcro strips to each loop and the inside of each boot. When you want to wear the boots, just slip on both loops align them with the velcro!

Map out floor space in the entryway or closet for your most worn boots. Place boot mats on the ground to protect the floors from any salt, dirt or moisture from the boots. Line the boots up neatly in one or two rows. Fill the boots with a paper towel roll or another quick insert to keep them standing upright.

Flip Flops & Binder Clips

Here's a way to really save space in your closet—use flip flops to hold your boots upright. Kristen on The Frugal Girl just drops one in each boot. They don't hold the shape quite as well since they're not round, but they do a great job of keeping them standing.

Can you add elastic to boots?

You're welcome. I cut just a very tiny bit of a strip of leather out, just to even my cut a bit. Basically I just let the leather spread apart and slipped the elastic between the outer leather and the leather lining. Sewing the first side of the elastic wasn't too bad.

The best way to put over the knee boots on is to roll the material down as far it will go – much like how you would put on thick winter socks. If there is a zipper at the bottom make sure it is unzipped and that your jeans or socks are not bunched at the bottoms.

A popular solution is to add an extra pair of cushion insoles. There are two basic insoles, insoles with arch cushion and flat insoles without any arch cushion. Flat insoles will tighten the boot evenly. Insoles with arch cushions will make the instep area more snug and can then take slipping out of the heel.

Stuff the boot top full of something to get the tops to stand up straight. You can use rolled up newspapers. My choice is to some empty, large size, 32 oz, Gatorade bottles they fit snuggly in the boot and hold the top up nice. (But you can use whatever fills the boot shaft well and keeps the leather taunt.)

You can stiffen leather by soaking it in cool, then hot, water. First, submerge the leather in a bucket or sink of cool water for about 10 minutes. While it's soaking, fill a large pot with water, and put it on the stove on high heat. Let the water heat to 180 degrees Fahrenheit or until it's too hot to touch.
