Fit Hacks For Low Volume Feet?

a side by side collage of a person's foot wearing a brown barefoot shoe loafer with the heel raised. In the first image the shoe is falling off the foot and insecure, a red X is under the shoe. In the second image the shoe is staying securely attached to the foot and underneath is a green check.

If you have a floppy shoe situation but it fits your length and width, here are a few things to try:

  • Leg Warmers / Stirrup Socks – Works wonderfully in boots to fill up space but keep your toes free.
  • Tongue Pads – My favorite low volume foot hack, but they are semi-permanent and will leave residue when removed.
  • Foot Snuggs – This clever product is like a tongue pad, but can be worn inside your socks and comes in multiple lengths depending on the type of shoe you’re wearing them in!
  • Heel Grip – Helps with heel slippage.
  • Moleskin – This allows you to fill in a little space wherever it’s needed, even on sandals (because you cut it to fit).
  • Barefoot Insoles – These work well if you have enough vertical space for them.

This is a common issue for people with low volume feet, but it can affect anyone depending on the type of shoe! Particularly with slip on and pull shoes, it’s a good idea to watch out for the dreaded flop. Fortunately, once you have a few items on hand, it is really easy to fix.
