Tips for Success

• Minimize skin contact with the adhesive side of the applique where it will come into contact with the shoe.
• Making sure your hands and heels are free of dirt and oils will assure that the Heel It will adhere well and last longer.
• If you experience wrinkles, simply lift the Heel It back up, stretch slightly and smooth back down.
• For some heels or toe tips that are especially challenging, cutting a small slit to relieve the tension in the sharpest part of the curve will usually help.
• For permanent application you can use super glue to secure the Heel It in place.
