Shoe Tips & Size Conversion
Shoe Care and Tips
Keeping Shoes in Top Conditions
- If the soles of your shoes are slippery, rub them with a bit of sandpaper.
- If they’re sticky, give them a shot of talcum powder.
- Place orange peel in your smelly shoes overnight and they’ll be citrus fresh the next morning.
Stain Removing
- Spruce up black leather by rubbing it with the inside of the rind of an orange.
- Bring suede shoes back to life with a good steam over a hot kettle.
- Give patent shoes a real gleam with a rub of Vaseline or a spritz of household Pledge.
- If you run out of shoes polish, a banana skin acts as a good polish for brown boots or shoes. There’s no need to shine them - simply leave them to dry.

Size Conversion
If you unsure that about the size of any shoes featured in this blog, it’s usually best to contact the shoe retailer.
Please note that this size conversion table is simply a guide, therefore taking into consideration the style of shoe - pointed toe, almond shaped, squared toe, peep or open before making a final decision. For example, I am a die hard UK Size 12 but sometimes I find myself going for UK Size 13.
