Any suggestions for school shoe labels ?

[Kate161203]

Rather than buying shoe labels for DS shoes via the internet stores, does anyone have suggestions for what sticks on and stays on best. Also, so far I only have some iron-on labels for her clothes. Do I actually need any others?

Any advice would be great
Thanks

In my experience NO label stays in a shoe!

I now just write the initials inside with a permanent marker.

I got some good shoe labels from eazy to name (I think) they have a sticker with the name and then a hardwearing clear protector to go over the top.

I got ones like bewilderbeast describes - they stayed on fine. Can't remember the name though

I have a brother label maker and I use those for shoes. I find the best place is in the middle of the sole where the arch of the foot goes. Never had a problem with them coming away.

I have tried a few different sorts but the only thing that stays is permanent marker!

DH sent off for shoe labels from Clarks. Have not tested them yet, coz ds starts school this September.

I got shoe labels from stuck on you here and they were great. In fact I have peeled them off old shoes before and stuck them in the new ones! They have a clear sticker over the label sticker which might help.

I got some fab and funky shoe labels from easy2name (you get a 10% mumsnet discount if you use them). They are still stuck down so far. You can also buy the bog standard stick on labels and clear shoe label covers from them if you want something cheaper.

I have used the Stuck On You ones too for DS. Have been using them for 4 years and haven't had any come off yet.

i use the clarks ones and have used them on other stuff too eg, ds lunchbox. never had a problem with them.

Many thanks for the suggestions. Muxch appreciated, Kate

Dasco shoe labels or those from John Lewis are bomb-proof.

Permanent marker. Or Tippex. Or those long plastic strips that go into the letter punch hand held gizmo that you cut off with a crunch from the gizmo (!!!!!!) anyway... peel off the strip covering the adhesive bit and stick onto the inside rim of the shoe just below the outside of the ankle! (I'm actually crying with laughter here at this description, but I hope you know what I mean - it worked a treat and didn't fall off and they're still holding their own on the inside of wellies too!).
