How long did it take you girls to finally wear them outside of your house? I am super inpatient, I usually just wear shoes i buy right away, but my absolutely stunning nude patent simple has been sitting in my living room for weeks! I just put red tapes on her soles last nite, so she should be ready to go outside, but I am too scared to ruin her beauty! (I am very clumpsy, i scuffed my gorgeous pink miu miu double strap mary jane's heel on her first day out!), so....

how long did it take for you to wear your first CL?

I still haven't worn the very first pair of CLs I bought :P I'm saving them for my wedding! By the time the wedding rolls around I will have owned them for a year and a half unworn!

I usually try to get my CLs vibramed before I wear them out.. it saves me the pain of seeing the scratched soles. Otherwise it depends on how fancy the heels are and if I have an occasion to wear them!

My first pair I wore the evening I bought them... I was out shopping in snow boots right before Christmas, I had a party go to to that evening, knew I couldn't go home in-between and purposefully didn't bring other shoes with me so that I would be forced to buy new shoes while shopping! I bought a pair of lady grants, when I got to the party I checked my snow boots and put them on! But I did not wear them outside... even without a foot of snow on the ground I am a little anal as I always take my expensive shoes to get rubber soles added before I wear them outdoors. It's terrible - I have to take my new babies to the cobbler and wait a week before I get them back!! But IMO it is worth it to protect them.

i just got my first pair of Simples last week, and i have been wearing them every day... in my living room!!! hahaha. even that wear scuffs up the red sole a little bit - not a lot, but it's not the pure red goodness that comes out of the box. sigh.

It took about a month. I was scared of ruining them or something. 7 pairs later, I've worn all but 2 pairs. I also don't tape or vibram the soles, I'm actually sort of proud of the red scratching because it makes me feel that I got my moneys worth.

I'm still waiting to wear mine, mainly because we've had such crappy weather lately and I don't want to wear them out and ruin them.

I have two pairs total, and (obviously) I'm much less apprehensive about wearing the gently used ones I purchased on eBay. Kind of makes me think I need to buy them all gently used so I'll actually wear them.
