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!

You just read my mind. I was just shopping for shoe clips on Ebay yesterday! I haven’t checked out thrift stores for them yet. I don’t think ours carry shoe clips
Those striped ones are DIVINE!
What a coincidence! I have been looking for shoe clips for some time now, but I don’t seem to find any that I love yet. Thanks for the info!
those bow clips are so cute! and i love the idea of slipping it over the heel of the shoes, what a fun look!
love these shoes,you can also use vintage clip on earrings for the shoes!
I love these! I just bought some from a seller on etsy who does custom handmade shoe clips. I actually found a ton of shoe clips on etsy…maybe check that resource out too!
By the way, I just found your site through a la modest and I have to say, I love it!
thanks so much for the feature Chandra! i am so happy you like them. They are my favorite pair i have made to date.
