One other thing you can try is cutting the toe end from a sock, rolling up the sock and wear it like an ankle bracelet. That will create a sort of stop above your shoe to help keep the armour from sliding down so far.
you can also wear swat style tactical boots that go about 3 inches above the ankle.

my old school Roaches never slide down.

That's what happened to me this summer. My 661's slid down during impact with a rock. My knee ended up hitting the rock.

I now ride with Roach RF shin/knee and elbow pads. Having taken a few spectacular falls, I am pleased to say that the new pads stay put and do not slide down my leg on impact.
