Jazz Up Your Shoes with Shoe Clips

Give your shoes new life with a pair of shoe clips. DIY mavens in the blogosphere and Etsyosphere are continuing to post the latest and greatest in shoe clips. Shoe clips aren’t new, and have been around for decades. Second hand stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army boast several types of shoe clips behind the crystal clear display cases.

If you’re on a budget, or lack the funds to produce the latest “it” shoes, simply spend a few dollars on a pair of shoe clips and revamp the shoes you already own. You’ll notice that brand new shoe clips are priced at a little over $20, while actual vintage shoe clips found at thrift stores are under $10!

Basic sandals and pumps can get a boost from more elaborate and ornate shoe clips, while more decorative shoes can benefit from basic shoe clips in complementary solid colors.

I’m fond of using eBay for my shoe clip search: simple type in “shoe clips lot” and you can get several shoe clips for a great price!
