Save Your Soles ;)


Whether you are a girl who loves her flats or one who can ONLY be seen in her high stilettos, a nice pair of shoes can always complement any outfit.  Some girls wish for a closet full of shoes while others are more practical and satisfied with just owning a few.

For me personally, when I invest in a pair of shoes, they must reflect my style and personality in order to ensure I will get the most wear/value out of them.  Throughout the years I have learned never to buy a pair of shoes (or any clothing item for that matter) just for the sake of buying them.  If I “kinda” like a pair of shoes I know it is wise just to walk away, as they will likely be a wasted purchase that I will probably end up donating or giving away.

However, when I do LOVE a pair, I am not kidding when I say I will literally wear them out until their “death." 

Luckily I found a product that extends the life of your shoes, which means you can wait a little longer to say farewell to those favourite kicks.

Product Description:  Sof Sole's Sure Step helps prevent slipping on most surfaces while extending the life of the sole. Fits all sizes of shoes and improves traction for all shoe types. 
Product Website: http://www.sofsole.com/shoecare/surestep
Price: $2.99 (two pairs are included)  
Available At: Winners 

This product is very simple to use and I have included step by step instructions below: 
My latest purchase from the Zara Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Ensure that your soles are clean and dry before you use the product. 

Each Sure Step product comes with two pairs. 

The grips come in a standard black colour.

Peel off the adhesive backing.  Be careful as the grips are fairly sticky.

Press the grips firmly in position.

Remove trapped air bubbles by rubbing front to back.

And viola you are done!

For best adhesion, allow 24 hours to set before using your shoes.

READY, SET, SPRING!

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
