I've got a pair of BB Peal & Co shoes that have sticker price on the heel. I started to peel it off but it wasn't coming off. What's the best way to remove it along with the sticky residue? I don't want to stick to the carpet when I walk around.

how about just wearing the shoes outdoors until it rubs off? Or, try a magic eraser....gets rid of everything.

I prefer a little lighter fluid, followed by a match. Burns 'em right off.

lighter fluid works, as does wd-40. and no, you don't need to light it on fire.

Certainly. I just need a, over sized scarf and some jelly babies.

I'll try lighter fluid.

You totally have to light it on fire. In fact, if you use WD-40, I suggest holding the lighter between the spray can and the heel. Extremely effective.
