Before you begin: the charms are called Totzpping

The flowers, pearls and metallic decorations on Heavenly Jelly shoes are officially called Totzpping®. Introduced for the 2024 season, the system lets you change the look of a pair of jelly shoes by swapping removable charms. The official 2026 product guide describes more than 100 options.

The key is simple: hold the decorative body and the silicone part behind the shoe at the same time, then twist gently while pulling. Do not pull on a bead strand or a thin petal, and avoid pliers, scissors, awls or crochet hooks that could tear the silicone fastener or the PVC upper.

Check both the decorative body and the silicone fastener before removal.

1. What you need

Prepare the replacement Totzpping, a dry towel and a wet wipe. Remove grit and let the shoe dry completely. Work on a flat table rather than while wearing the shoe. For a large flower or multi-bead charm, support the firm base instead of using the decoration as a handle.

2. How to remove the existing charm

Step 1Find the silicone part inside the shoe

Feel directly behind the charm for the soft, rounded silicone fastener. Support the decorative body with one hand and hold the silicone part with the other.

Step 2Twist by a small amount

Gently twist the body and silicone fastener together. You only need enough movement to release friction. Do not twist a bead wire, chain or thin flower petal.

Step 3Pull slowly along the opening

While maintaining the slight twist, pull slowly in a direction close to perpendicular to the shoe opening. If it does not release, stop, reset your grip and change the angle slightly. Cold jelly material can feel firmer, so allow the shoe to return to room temperature. Direct heat from boiling water or a hair dryer may deform or discolor it.

Support the charm body while gently twisting and pulling the silicone fastener free.

3. How to install a new Totzpping

Step 1Test the arrangement first

Place the charms on top of the shoe before inserting them. Check balance across both shoes and avoid large charms where the toes flex or where the inner sides rub together.

Step 2Insert one edge of the silicone fastener

Angle one edge of the silicone fastener into the selected opening, then roll and press it through with your thumb. The silicone should fold and pass through; the PVC opening should not be forced wider.

Step 3Confirm the fastener has opened flat

Look inside the shoe and make sure the silicone part is no longer folded. Wiggle the front lightly. If the charm rocks excessively or turns too easily, move it to a smaller, more central opening.

Leave enough space between larger charms so they do not interfere with foot movement.

4. Placement matters on the Classic Mule

Heavenly Jelly’s official Classic Mule guide warns that the openings become larger toward the sides, making Totzpping charms easier to lose. Use the relatively smaller openings in the front and central recommended area. Grouping several charms can also create a fuller look while improving overall stability.

The brand also suggests placing a larger charm in the fourth row from the bottom when styling the side of the Classic Mule. Always compare the opening with the fastener and perform a gentle pull test before wearing the shoes outside. For the Classic Mule, central and front openings are generally more secure than larger side openings.

5. Troubleshooting

Too tight

Stop increasing force. Change the angle, use a small twisting motion and try again after the shoe reaches room temperature.

Keeps falling out

Move the charm to a smaller front or central opening; avoid the larger side openings on the Classic Mule.

Silicone separates

The official guide says it may be reattached with instant adhesive. Remove the charm, use only a tiny amount away from the shoe body, and wait for full cure.

Beadwork feels loose

Remove and store the charm. Never continue pulling or twisting the bead strand itself.

6. Cleaning and storage

The official care guidance recommends wiping light dirt with a wet wipe or rinsing under running water, followed by natural drying in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Avoid aggressive brushing around charms and prolonged soaking, which can increase the risk of separation, loss or breakage.

For long-term storage, remove Totzpping charms and keep them in small zip bags or a divided case. Leaving them attached for an extended period may cause deformation or detachment. Direct sunlight and high temperatures can also deform or discolor jelly material.

After wear, clean gently and let both the shoe and charms dry naturally.

FAQ

Can I use ordinary clog charms?

Similar-looking fasteners may have different diameters and thicknesses. Do not stretch the openings by force. A compatible Heavenly Jelly Totzpping is the safer first choice.

Should I use pliers or a crochet hook?

The official removal method uses only the hands: hold the body and silicone part together, then twist and pull gently. Metal tools can damage the fastener or the PVC upper.

Can I wear the shoes immediately?

Yes, if no adhesive was used and the silicone fastener is fully open and secure. After an adhesive repair, follow the adhesive manufacturer’s full-curing time before reinstalling the charm.

Conclusion

To replace a Heavenly Jelly charm safely, remember the sequence: support both parts, twist gently and pull slowly. Insert the new silicone fastener one edge at a time, then confirm it has opened flat inside the shoe. On the Classic Mule, avoiding larger side openings is one of the simplest ways to reduce accidental loss.

Changing the Totzpping arrangement gives the same jelly shoes a completely different mood.
