Looking for the ultimate stocking filler for the Carrie Bradshaw in your life? Try Shoo Sticks.
Shoo Sticks - perfect for the party season!
These sleek and transparent double-sided adhesive fashion sticks are designed to prevent embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions. Each Shoo Stick is made from high-grade, non toxic material that will stop shoes, clothes and even wigs from slipping, and will last for multiple wears… even while you’re boogying the night away.
With different strengths of stickiness on each side, Shoo Sticks are designed to wear with bare feet or fine denier stockings and tights.
Available in cute, reusable and handbag-size tubes of 16 strips, Shoo Sticks are a must for every girl’s handbag. Tough enough to keep most things in place but delicate enough to use on the finest material, they can be used for shoes, clothes, jewellery and even wigs!
10 things you’ll love about for Sticks this summer.
- Summer = slingbacks. Shoo Sticks will keep them from slipping, sliding or cutting into tender heels.
- Why is it one foot is always bigger than the other, leaving one shoe flip-flopping around? Stick that slippery sucker down with Shoo Sticks!
- Blisters are ugly. And they hurt. Use Shoo Sticks to cushion areas prone to rubbing.
- Spaghetti straps slip (try saying that quickly 10 times!). Use Shoo Sticks to keep straps on your shoulders, not around elbows.
- Your boyfriends watch might look cute but it can irritate your skin when it’s sliding around your dainty wrist. Stick it down with Shoo Sticks.
- Chunky necklaces are in vogue this season. Spare yourself the neck injury by using Shoo Sticks to anchor your hottest (and heaviest) accessories.
- Not keen to relive Janet Jackson’s Superbowl moment? Keep loose blouses, boob tubes and low slung tops secure from random flashes with Shoo Sticks.
- If you must wear them, keep your wigs and hairpieces in place. Shoo Sticks will help to prevent embarrassing slipping (great for men with toupees or women who have lost hair due to cancer treatment or alopecia).
- Silk dresses are sweet, but a little gust of wind… and there goes your dignity. A little Shoo Stick applied just below your knickers and you’ll conquer even the windiest of days with style.
- There’s only one place for a whale’s tail – and that’s not peeping out of your jeans. Keep low rise pants in check with Shoo sticks.
Application is simple.
- Very-sticky side – attach to your shoe (or body when using with clothes, stockings and tights)
- Less-sticky side – attach to your foot (or to fabric, when using stockings and tights).
Tips for applying your Shoo Sticks
1. Ensure your feet, strap and interior of the shoe are clean, dry and oil free. The strip will not stick to wet or moisturised surfaces.
2. Take one strip from your Shoo Sticks case and remove the protective backing one the side marked -1- Attach to shoe.
3. Apply the strip to the inside of your strap, or alternatively your ankle. For mules, apply four strips to front of soles. Press firmly so strip will stick.
4. Remove remaining backing marked: -2- Attach to heel. Firmly place foot in shoe.
5. Position the strap carefully on the best spot of your ankle or heel.
6. Press firmly until you feel the strip take hold. Repeat for other shoe.
7. For best results, allow 2 minutes before walking, dancing or catwalking to ensure good adhesion.
