Mrdiggerdunn Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 What do you think of leaving labels on the soles of high heels? Loads of women do and clearly leave them on purpose. Like to see your comments ladies or if your a guy and like women leaving them on.
hh4evr1 Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I take all sticker off my shoes, as I think they look smarter/nicer without stickers/price labels etc.
Cinnamon Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I've been led to believe that in the 50s and 60s, prostitutes would display how much their services cost on stickers on the bottom of their shoes. As a result, I'm rather careful to ensure I don't leave them on. Besides, I've always thought it looked lazy and untidy to leave them on.
Dr. Shoe Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Leaving the stickers on the bottoms of shoes!??? Are you insane!??? That is such a big no no I wouldn't dream of it! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Webhawk Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 never left any stickers on the soles... ...but nice story with the hookers, thx
JeffB Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I also remove the stickers. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
lorriette Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Definately labels off. totter along into history
BOOTED UP Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I always take the stickers off, the boots always look better. I have often been tempted to say it to anyone I see with the stickers still on, but then they would know I was looking at their boots, mind you I have no problem saying it to my friends male and female. Booted up.
pussyinboots Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Stickers on soles..??!!?? Oh Dear Me no....thoroughly tacky and tasteless. "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
sendra45 Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 To the point....... that I have actually told 2 women off for leaving the stickers on the bottom of the shoes. they were both very apologetic and then proceeded to remove the labels while I was still there. I would not recommend it if you didnt know the woman in question, but they were quite surprised somebody noticed. A big, massive no no. The angels have the phonebox.
chris100575 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Stickers should definitely come off, it doesn't look good if they're left on. I hate it when I buy a pair of shoes and the stickers are a pain to get off.
v3g1ta Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 even as a man I know that is a big no no leaving stickers on shoes!
Steve63130 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 If you remove the sticker and there is still adhesive left on the shoes, you can safely remove the goo with a product called (appropriately enough) "Goo Gone". It's available in most groceries and big box stores. It has a nice citrus smell and won't harm most substances. Steve
ChipsHH Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I'll be the first to admit: After I get a new pair of heels, like the ones in my picture, I left the stickers on, as I always do this when I get a new pair. I'm just so excited to wear them to at least one place before doing anything more to them. Luckily, no one cared or they came off in the parking lot. Half of my shoes are purchased without stickers on the sole, surprisingly. Or...I may have removed them beforehand...Or they removed themselves inadvertently Hate for laughing at myself for almost always doing so, but hey. Aren't we all sometimes ecstatic to break-in shoes? (Rhetorical question) And, in small defense, soles are of the bottom of the shoe and in the inside of a shoe, right? Formally "HHDude"
tightsnheels Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Stickers on shoes? NO, No, nooooooo. Cinnamon has a point that I have heard before as well and besides its just tacky. T&H "Look for the woman in the dress, if there is no dress there is no woman."-Coco Channel
saudade Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Leaving stickers on clothes? Do you leave those stickers on pants? http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/04/23/funny-pictures-ther-appeers-2-b/ Thats how ridiculous it looks in my opinion, as funny as it is to annoy cats with stickers, it just doesn't belong. Once you decide to wear it out and not return it, take the stickers and tags off.
roniheels Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 That's the first thing I do is take the stickers off the soles of my new high heels.
Sabrina17 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 It is the first think I do with my shoes : I remove the stickers ! Kiss Sab High heels are the most exciting thing of life !
Sue13 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Definitely no , Stickers off. I hate it, it looks tacky and horrible in my opinion. Sorry. Sue x
IBL70 Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Hello everyone , Last night I had a terrible nightmare, I let a label under my boots!

stefan Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 The stickers definately has to go. No stickers for me. Best regards, Stefan
spaceinvader Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I realise I'm going to be the lone voice here, but I think it's somehow sexy to see a girl in stilettos with stickers still on them or part of the stickers still there. No-one will really notice only people like us who "shoe watch" so I think it makes no difference, but personally I don't have a problem with it. It shows a girl loves the shoes so much, she just had to wear them immediately, and never bothered taking the stickers off!!
loswabs Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I take the stickers off mine. It's not the worst thing you can do to leave them on, but it can spoil a classy look. It's my opinion, no more, no less
Puffer Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 Leaving the stickers on is not only sloppy but can be embarrassing. Some years ago, I was in church for a wedding. When we knelt down to pray, I got a good view of the shoes of the woman in front of me (which were totally unexciting, as was she!). On one shoe sole was a prominent sticker clearly marked 'Shopsoiled: £3 to clear'. Enough said!
Guest Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 It's 1) Check the fit 2) Walk round the carpet 3) good fit and comfy - labels and tags off poor fit not comfy - they're going back labels intact! be it shirt or shoes, once the labels are off, they are mine. Otherwise I think it is just cheap and lazy Al

It shows a girl loves the shoes so much, she just had to wear them immediately, and never bothered taking the stickers off!! Or more likely, she is sloppy and will not look after her shoes. Leaving the labels and stickers on shoes is a REAL fashion 'faux pas' or 'no no'. It means that everyone can see how much you paid for the shoes and the size that you take. I think a lot of it, has stemmed from the 'trend' of clothes designers placing their labels on the outside of garments, rather than the traditional inside the collar or on the tail. It's purely an ego thing for people to show off their so called 'style' and taste - however it is a self-defeating process. People attempt to be trendy and stylish by wearing labels outside the garment - and in the process make themselves look cheap and tacky!

iggy_ze Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Any ides for getting off those particularly sticky labels which always disintegreate when you try to peel them? It's just more frustrating to have bits of label left on the shoe. Ian G
