I didn't have much to contribute, except that I'm sold on getting a pair of loafers for fall and the mission of the shop warms the cockles of my heart. Your shoes look exceptionally comfy! Marianna, the boots are gorgeous. Hope they fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89818 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:47:09 +0000 medusa 89818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MC, those boots are gorgeous.

I can always send them back if it's impossible. Do you like the boots in general? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89748 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:24:10 +0000 Angie 89748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea Maya - btw, did you see Friday's blog post? </p> <p>Glad you had a nice time Louise. My brother and his family, who live in London, are in Tuscany for week celebrating my SIL’s 40th. I hope they have fun too. Apparently the weather is awful at the moment :0( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89746 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:19:33 +0000 Louise 89746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely hol thanks Angie particulary Monday/ Tuesday with my cousin and her kids x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89743 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:17:21 +0000 Maya 89743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can buy boot shaft stretchers and do it yourself, so I'm sure a cobbler could do it. But if you're trying to go from 14" to 16" you probably need a new pair of boots rather than a stretcher. It depends how much you need to stretch. Or, maybe Loulou has something going there with the elastic gore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89742 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:16:49 +0000 Angie 89742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly, Louise! Go yak to your cobbler. There are ways and means, Marianna :0) </p> <p>Lou, did you have a nice holiday? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89741 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:12:51 +0000 Louise 89741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking out loud here- i wonder if they might be able to insert an elastic panel ,like some boots have when you buy them? I guess they wouldn't be able to add a leather panel because of matching the leather even plain black or brown could be problematic to colour match x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-cobbler-add-width-to-a-boot-circumference#post-89717 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 16:22:44 +0000 marianna 89717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm drooling over a pair of boots and before I perform liposuction on my fat calves to make these boots fit, I want to know: Is there any possibility for a cobbler to add some girth to a boot circumference?</p> <p>I want these boots (in sequoia patent):<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-air-petra-tall-boot-sequoia-patent" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/cole-haa.....oia-patent</a></p> <p>Sadly, I think they may be too narrow on the calf. Do you think a skilled cobbler would be able to do anything?</p> <p>They're super expensive but they seem like they'd be really comfortable and durable... and I think they're gorgeous. They'd be a good investment... if I can make them work!</p> <p>Doesn't Nordstrom have this boot in the other leather? Has anyone tried it on? </p>
