Hamish's Hints & Tips

• Shoe paint
  • Is easy to do and comes in a wide selection of colours. Just brush it on. It's a cheap way to change the colour of your shoes.
• Shoe dye
  • Permanent way to colour shoes.It's available in black, brown and blue only and is more suited to leather or vinyl shoes.
• Shampoo and conditioner for shoes
  • Yes, just like your hair, your shoes do need to be shampooed so make those shoes shine. Perfect for suedes and fabrics.
• Party feet
  • Invisible gel, slingback strips, help prevent shoe straps slipping at the back of the heal. Sit inside of slingback and keeps strap in place.
• Heel stoppers
  • Place them on the bottom of your high heels and they will stop you sinking into the grass. Perfect for weddings or when at the races.
