I too have wondered whether it's a quality issue or whether it's just the nature of the beast.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calfpony-hair-durability#post-1407318 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 03:20:44 +0000 DonnaF 1407318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD's calf hair shoes from Nordies' junior footwear department showed bald spots within a year of hard wear.&nbsp; I went over the black areas with Sharpie to extend their wear.&nbsp; My calf hair Dansko clogs don't show signs of wear after more than a year but I don't wear them often or in harsh weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calfpony-hair-durability#post-1407275 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 01:57:47 +0000 Staysfit 1407275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a calf hair belt from J Crew, it's going on its third year. No bald spots yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calfpony-hair-durability#post-1407183 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 00:04:19 +0000 Thistle 1407183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pair of calf hair shoes. One from Sam Edelman the other from a smile brand I can't remember at the moment. Both were around the $75-$100 mark for shoes, to give you an idea of price.</p> <p>Both have held up well (no bald spots) except for the back of the shoe where my heels rub against the floor when I drive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calfpony-hair-durability#post-1407179 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 23:59:20 +0000 ElleH 1407179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a belt that got very bald very fast but I don't know if all hair calf items are equal. Perhaps some are of a better quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calfpony-hair-durability#post-1407001 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 18:59:15 +0000 thimblelina 1407001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of Dalmatian print calf hair sneakers from Boden that were real workhorses... 5+ years of hard wear. The bald patches came very gradually. But a belt is getting a lot more direct abrasion from belt loops I would imagine. Every now &amp; again when the hairs begin to look brushy &amp; wild I smooth a tiny pearl size drop of good quality conditioner over them to smooth them back down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calfpony-hair-durability#post-1406977 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 18:22:14 +0000 gradfashionista 1406977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are calf/pony hair belts and bags doomed to wear out quickly because of the hair? My J. Crew belt developed 'bald' patches pretty quickly, and I don't know if that was because of the hair and rubbing, which belts and bags are prone to do, or whether it was an issue of quality. Any thoughts? </p>
