Modelling YSL Tribute Sandals

[yoyotomatoe]

I also use the protect your shoes transparent stick-on, but what is vibram? Is that the common term for all cobblers? Whatabout the back heel, what do you do to protect it? I just got my new Tribute in Hot Pink & I intend to get all my money's worth.

Vibram is the brand. The cobblers somehow glue it on to the sole of the shoe. Vibram comes in different colours to match soles of shoes. If you search vibram in the CL forum you will find lots of threads on it. Seems like vibram became popular with the CL lovers. As for the back heel I don't use anything and don't know if there is anything out there. HTH!

Thanks for sharing, I'll check that out. I think it's worth investigating.

My first pair of YSL in porcellana. My pug wanted to take a picture with them as well I'm planning on wearing them to my bridal shower. They sure are loose around the ankles though! Ill need to poke an extra hole for the ankle strap.

Hi Foxymom, im also from philippines and I bring my Tributes to Mr Quickie. They used to have vibram sole protector but last time i asked they are out of stock. Only rockwell and greenbelt offer vibram sole protector as far as i know. Hope this helps.

They're gorgeous! And I love your pup, so cute!! Yes, the straps are loose on mine, too but I've been afraid to make that extra hole.

thanks Camssy! how much do they usually cost? and do i have to do this before i use the shoe?

i was thinking since the cobbler will sand the bottom to attach the vibram, maybe i should just use it first hehe

You wont believe it, its just 280 per pair! Yes they will scrape the bottom better call first to check if they still have vibram sole protector, otherwise, Topys is not really a bad alternative. If i may ask, where and how much did you buy your tribute?

Im also scouting for good deals! Lol
