Stickers on new shoes

I agree harrigran it works wonders. I also do not like to see the price on shoes (or anything).

When my son was in choir and doing weddings he noticed a number of grooms had had stickers put on the soles of their shoes by silly friends with right and left on them or other slogans.

I always remove price stickers and as quickly as possible otherwise it leaves a mess. Bottles of sticky stuff remover work on every surface you can imagine, even fine wine glasses. I imagine it is widely available but I bought mine in Lakeland.

When I was a choirgirl (many many years ago) we used to have a game of spotting the price stickers when people came up to take communion. Its bothered me ever since and removing them its the first thing I do when buying new shoes.

Some stickers are impossible to remove (although I have never had any trouble with those on shoes). I recently bought a birthday card and when I tried to remove the price sticker it tore the card! I also bought some new drinking glasses and couldn't get the stickers off even after they had been through the dishwasher!

I am always amazed they haven't taken them off!
