Anyone have experience with NAP exchanges? I returned my Dickers due to peeling after one month and they are still processing my return. I'm on pins and needles that they will still have a pair to exchange (do they hold them if they tell you they have a pair in stock? They haven't been on the website). I'm going through withdrawal!

They will hold a pair for you. I exchange before no issue with NAP.

Yes, it's unstable & wobbly for me, maybe the heels is just too steep for me. A little platform in front would have helped. I just can't spend this much money on a pair of shoes & suffer.

guess you don't wear Louboutins!! Too much $$ and a lot of suffering. I haven't worn the berrys out yet so I hope I don't have a problem.

Thanks, ladies!! I like putting rubber soles on almost all my good quality boots - especially if they have a leather sole. They are slippery without the rubber and the soles (and the tips of the pointy toes) can get really beaten up without protection. I wore my Chloe Suzannas out ONCE before putting rubber soles on and they got really banged up - a nick was even taken out of the side of the sole! I couldn't believe it. So, I didn't wear them again until they had their new soles!

I decided not to put rubber soles on for now. I hear the cobbler scratches the sole in order to put the adhesive backing on. Maybe you guys have a great cobbler but I really don't trust the ones here. I've read that it is best to wait till the soles wear down a bit before putting the rubber soles on. Thoughts?

Lol... You're so right! It's me who has the problem, i refuse to suffer for fashion. No wonder my money goes towards bags :) I guess I'm hopeless w/ super steep heels.

LOL I thought the same thing, the only designer that are worse than Louboutin is Alexander Wang. I have the cutest pair of AW wedges that I must practice walking in before I leave the house. AW heels have the most uncomfortable pitch.

Any cobbler will score (basically "wear down") your shoes before they put on the soles anyway. As long as you're careful for the first few wears, I usually wait until it's a little worn before I take it in.

CONGRATS!!! they are beautiful! Where in Canada do you live? If you don't mind me asking, which store did you get them from? I'm always curious to know which stores in CDA carry IM!

You mos def have to trust your cobbler - it's a tough thing to leave your IM boots with a stranger!! I get the rubber soles put on right away bc most of the IM boots I buy are pointy toed. I find the tip of the toe gets worn down fast without the rubber protection, and if it gets too worn down then your shoe is damaged more seriously then just having a worn-in sole (not sure how they could fix that). Plus, I know that if I don't do it right away I will never do it! Just watch the tips of your pointy toes, ladies!! :smile1::smile1:

I'm in Toronto. I got these from TNT - they had to ship them in from Montreal. From what I've seen - TNT has one of the largest selection of IM in the city.
