Foot Bumper Review
The idea behind Foot Bumper is simple: A discreet anti-slip insert that can support feet and prevent them from slipping. While anti-slip inserts have been around for years (see below), the design of Foot Bumper is somewhat unique. Traditional inserts are typically a longer anti-slip pad that touches the sole of your foot, but Foot Bumper resides where the toes meet the ball of the foot to hold feet in place.
Pitched by Taylor Baldwin, Foot Bumper works by creating a sort of “speed bump” behind the toes where the ball of the foot rests. This prevents the foot from sliding, which can cause foot pain and lead to an unsightly fit.
Foot Bumper is attached by means of an adhesive which should stay in place on most shoe surfaces. Once in place, the ball of your foot will come to rest against Foot Bumper, preventing slippage.
Cost-wise, we feel that Foot Bumper is appropriately priced, as the current offer provides enough for four pairs of shoes, while other inserts can run as much as $20 for a single pair.
Overall, we like the design of Foot Bumper. If you’ve tried regular non-slip inserts without luck, this new take on the design may be an ideal fit for you. If you already use inserts that work for you, Foot Bumper may not bring anything new to the table.
Alternatives
Foot Bumper is a great idea, but you can find other anti-sleep heel inserts of various designs. You may want to take a look at more traditional self-sticking adhesive pads such as this pair which run about $9.

Love the Foot Bumper! I’ve now put it in 6 pairs of shoes. It has solved my problem of slipping forward when wearing stockings in my high heels!
