The holiday party season is almost here! If you want to mingle and dance all night without pain, follow these three must-have tips from TLC fashion maven Stacy London.

Tip 1: Make Your Shoes Skid-Free

If you don’t want to worry about slipping on a slick floor, Stacy shows you how to score the bottom of your shoes with keys. (And Rach suggests using a cheese grater as an alternative!)

Tip 2: Buy Shoes that Fit

Stacy shares that certain materials, like suede, leather or fabric, will give a little after wearing, but patent will not, so she says don’t buy patent shoes if they don’t fit when you try them on!

Tip 3: Prepare Your Feet Ahead of Time

Wear your party shoes around your house for 30 minutes a day every day or every other day for a week leading up to an event. That way your feet will be used to the shoes, and you’ll party pain-free!
