Meet my new babies! Aren't they beautiful? Got them at good old Dorothy Perkins, during my recent trip to the UK. And no, they did not cost an arm and a leg. Unless you are willing to sell aforementioned body parts for 30 quid.
I'm seriously contemplating putting them on display in my bookcase instead of wearing them outside, where the beautiful soles will be destroyed in a second. One step too far?
Anyway, judging by the number of comments on this post lots of you agree on my view that forgotten stickers on the bottom of our new shoes look vile and disgusting, so I decided to do a mini tutorial on how to remove these suckers fast, easy and without any glue residue.
First, blast the bottom of the shoe with hot air from your hairdryer. About three minutes will do. The glue will soften and you will be able to remove even the peskier ones. Gently start to peel off the stickers. Just remember that if you take too long, the glue will cool off again, so you might need to use the hairdrier once or twice more to finish the job.
I was rather lucky, as the shoes had a protective film that took all the other bad boys with it, once removed.
Still can't get over those pink soles. Christian who?

Mmmmm, beautiful soles. I have a Flickr favorite of a men's shoe sole with a city skyline -- who wants to ruin that perfection? And beautiful shoes! I can't wait to see what you wear them with.

loving the shoes and the comments!! u made me smile! :P
mm, the color and material are..."delicious". i can understand why you re thinking of exposing them in your living room. but im waiting for an outfit, included them.
-are they "walkable"? the heel seems very high for me.
I like a lot your new shoes and clever tutorial!hAppy monday :)
beautiful electric blue pumps... show off those soles with some wild dancing moves soon!
*alternative tip for removing the sticker: wet a piece of cotton and press it gently for 30 sec over the little bugger. then rub it off using the same cotton piece;)
@lucia
Yeap, they're very high. I can walk in them, but I'm not sure for how long. I think I'll be better off keeping them on display then.
@battered couture
Actually, I do wear high heels when I go out at night, but I'm afraid that doesn't happen very often... And when I do wear them, I'm always too late and the light too bad to take pics for the blog.
I'm in for this Tuesday! You think we can make that happen?
agapoooooo!!!

You are a freaking GENIUS. I think you just solved the age-old problem "how the hell do I get this bloody sticker off of the bottom of my shoe so I don't look like a tacky broad walking around?" I am bookmarking this site NOW. I need the company of genius. : )
