Finally got around to taking pics of the So Kates in detail. I certainly won’t be wearing them to a gala or function! A night out in a very dark place maybe.
The heels and one toe area are quite banged up with lots of scrapped off leather, but all in all she’s a toughie given what I’ve put her through. The vibrams also held up very well. These are my very first pair of CLs so they have a special place in my heart! I wish it were easier to repair patent leather.

Wow I imagined the various off-road terrains would take their toll. I've done similar heel damage though just in everyday use from sidewalk cracks, escalators, storm grates, etc. The toe damage is really bad though. I'm not sure that repairable. The goods news however is prices of gently used So Kates continues to fall so you should be able to find a replacement pair at a reasonable price.
