At MyShoeCharm, we design our charms to attach in seconds—no tools, no frustration, just easy personalization for your favorite footwear. Most styles work with clogging shoes (those holey, comfy go-tos!), but we’ve got options for laced shoes, sandals, and more too. Here’s exactly how to pop ’em on, plus tips for keeping ’em secure (we test these with years of playground runs and rainy walks—we know what sticks!).
1. For Clogging Shoes (Our Most Popular Fit!)
Nearly all MyShoeCharm styles are made for clogging shoes—their button-shaped bases fit perfectly in those iconic holes. This takes 2 seconds:
- Support the hole from inside: Stick one hand inside your clog to hold the back of the hole (prevents stretching the shoe’s material!).
- Tilt and slide: Grab the charm, push its base into the hole at a 45-degree angle (toward the toe). No forcing—we use rounded edges to help it glide in.
- Press until it clicks: Give the top a firm push—you’ll feel the base snap into place. That “click” means it’s locked tight! Our bases use the same sturdy material as our jewelry, so even kids yanking shoes on/off won’t pop ’em loose.
2. For Tie-On Charms (Great for Shoes Without Holes)
Our tie-on styles work for canvas sneakers, strappy sandals, or old boots—they use stretchy loops that stay put:
- Wrap the loop snug: Grab the thick, durable stretch band on the charm’s back and wrap it around your shoe’s strap or lace. Pull gently—tight enough to avoid sliding, but not so tight it stretches out.
- Hook to lock: Find the tiny plastic peg on the charm’s underside, then loop the band’s end over it. Give it a tug—if it doesn’t slip, you’re set. Customers reuse these on 3+ shoe pairs, and the loops still hold strong!
3. For Clip-On Charms (Ideal for Shoelaces)
Clip-ons are perfect for switching up your look fast (great for mixing designs week to week!):
- Pick your spot: Line the charm up on your shoelace—top for a statement, mid-lace for subtle flair (we see tons of customers pair these with engraved name charms!).
- Pinch and clip: Squeeze the small clamp on the charm’s back (it pops open easily—even little hands can do it!). Slide it onto the lace, then let go—the clamp snaps shut tight. We use strong springs, so it won’t loosen when you tie/untie laces.
Pro Tip from MyShoeCharm: They’re Reusable!
Want to switch charms to a new pair of clogs or sneakers? Just reverse the steps: For clogs, gently push the base from the inside to pop it out. No damage to your shoes (or the charm!).
