FWIW, I had that happen to one rubber cap on the chunky heel of my boots in the Vancouver airport on the way home from Toronto. I was quite glad it happened at the tail end of my trip and not in the middle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-symphony#post-637068 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 04:21:30 +0000 Lyn D. 637068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, repair. It will still be cheaper than new and a shame to waste your initial outlay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-symphony#post-637021 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:29:04 +0000 cheryl 637021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your own version of the symphony, lol. If they are comfy its probably worth it to fix them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-symphony#post-636978 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:50:04 +0000 Jenava 636978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cheap fix, so if the shoes are worth wearing they're probably worth investing in to fix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-symphony#post-636896 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 01:07:20 +0000 nancylee 636896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that will be a pretty cheap fix, Laura. I'd go ahead and save the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-symphony#post-636841 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:20:05 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 636841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the other day I picked up a cute pair of Alfani slingbacks at the thrift store for 5 bucks - nude with gold accents. Constructed an outfit of tan skirt, pink top and denim blazer to wear with them on the way to the symphony. On the short walk from transit to the concert the little rubbery heel cap thing on one of the shoes came off. On the way back the other one fell off. The metal bit on the bottom of the heels was exposed, so I was clanging and clanking down the street. So chic. :/ :D</p> <p>The question is, I suppose, whether getting them fixed at the cobbler will cost more than they originally cost me. </p>
