The cost probably was close to 2/3 the cost of the boots. However, having thick calves and shorter leg, it is hard to find a boot that looks good and is comfy - so I considered it a worthwhile spend. That said, I am at the point where after two repairs I sent them to the great big boot heaven in the sky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180346 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:12:57 +0000 wilson 180346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post is making me smile because just this morning I dropped off a big basket of boots I had been saving to take to the boot repair man. He told me he was sure he could restore most of them. Prior to this morning I hadn't gone for a long time. I'm inspired by people who take better care of their boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180245 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:09:22 +0000 Angie 180245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Julie, said. I have the heels replaced and the lot spruced up after the season and that's it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180188 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:37:30 +0000 Louise 180188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep getting them fixed for as long as you love them x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180186 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:35:53 +0000 Scarlet 180186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get the heels replaced on my boots once per year, minimum. That is usually not very expensive though, under 15$. In any case it's a heck of a lot cheaper than new shoes plus the pain and suffering of finding boots that work with my calves and height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180137 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:13:02 +0000 RoseandJoan 180137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the heels replaced on my boots each new season which costs around £10.00, I have not had any zips mended yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180118 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:23:57 +0000 Anonymous 180118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am rather new to wearing boots for fashion, but if I have expensive beautiful boots in good shape otherwise, I'd have them mended for as long as I wanted to continue wearing them. It's also more "green" than replacing them often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-times-do-your-boots-get-mended#post-180077 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:35:46 +0000 anne 180077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 years ago I bought a lovely pair of brown riding boots. I got them reheeled last year and then again just now. In addition I got the zip mended. I suppose I have spent about $90 so far on repairs, about half the purchase price.</p> <p>The rest of the boot seems fine.</p> <p>How often do your get boots repaired before deciding to buy a new pair? </p>
