I have had leatherspa redo my red soles. They came out great. I have given up on letting anyone else touch my shoes after having various people ruin thousands of dollars in shoes.
Eagle, the department stores are starting to stock fall shoes or do preorders. If I hadn't preordered last year I wouldn't have gotten my best louboutins. And I'm going for rather classic styles. True more will become available over the next few months so I'm trying not to settle.
A friend who reads this forum says that buying ankle boots is as bad as buying jeans or bathing suits. I'm not sure anything is as bad as buying bathing suits, but it's close.
The gianvito rossi lace up boots arrived. They are super cute. They make me not love the saint laurents quite as much. But... I either have to go up a half size or give up on them as too uncomfortable. And if anyone has ever tried to do an even exchange for a half size diference at saks, they know it's a giant pita. They can't handle an exchange so essentially I'll lose all of my promotions and have to pay $400 more for the boots to get a half size larger [emoji849] Enough ranting about saks. Onto the boots.
They fit super snug to the leg. I love them with skirts. The zipper feels a tad but flimsy.

I am starting to figure out that one pair of boots can not suit all needs. What works for pants might not work for skirts. But at least I want them to be comfortable. So now I'll try to work things out with saks.
