For something unique, I would spend that much.</p> <p>Just call me enabler... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634881 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 23:19:36 +0000 Aida 634881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Studding is relaxing to do while watching TV.

But you also need a stud setter. By the time you get all the materials and equipment (which you may not use again), they aren't that muc more spendy than a regular pair of sandals... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634634 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:45:20 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 634634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have bought enough shoes that never get worn (or once or twice) that if I find a pair I think will get lots of wear, I am willing to pay more for them. I would rather pay $140 for a pair I wear 50 times than $70 for a pair I wear twice.</p> <p>I think they are really nice shoes and would go with the direction you are taking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634627 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:39:23 +0000 Mo 634627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love bj1111's approach! But, yes, for larger purchases I do a mental CPW to talk me into spending that much at once. I've had bargain hunter's disease for years, though, and I need to make more quality purchases in my wardrobe. If you have no trouble plunking down over $100 for flat sandals - have at it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634625 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:35:19 +0000 bj1111 634625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't think in terms of cpw in general. i think about the craftsmanship, the uniqueness and the design elements. if it makes me smile, i buy it. if it makes me grin like an idiot, i wear it out of the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634623 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:33:13 +0000 ironkurtin 634623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you guys really do the whole CPW thing? My hesitation isn't that I wouldn't get $140 worth out of them, it's wondering if the craftsmanship is really *worth* $140. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634619 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:28:29 +0000 Mo 634619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love them and don't think DIY is a possibility, I'd start figuring Cost Per Wear.<br /> I received MoHop interchangeable sandals for Christmas last year and they run the same $$. But I figure I will easily wear them 14 times in the first year, which brings CPW down to $10 off the bat. And it only gets better from there!<br /> If these are your style, rather than something you'll wear only as long as they are in, you're likely to keep them for several years and your CPW should whittle down appreciably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634610 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:23:15 +0000 ironkurtin 634610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi - I do just fine in flat sandals, actually! As for the trendy, I guess I don't much care about that. I've liked spikes for a long time, so having them around now just gives me some room to play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634607 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:21:12 +0000 Mochi 634607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forget the look, do your feet do well with that lack of support from the flat soles? They'd probably give me some minor trouble. They are cool-looking but you're right, that's a lot of money to consider for something (the spikes) that seems very trendy (as in, may not be trendy soon?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634568 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:55:33 +0000 ironkurtin 634568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think glue would work, these are actual studs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634561 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:48:36 +0000 christieanne 634561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nicoleb could get you the hookup on the spikes. Definite DIY possiblities - I think Isis is on to something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634558 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:47:26 +0000 Isis 634558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lethal! I wonder if this could be a DIY, somehow.....Not sure where you would get glueable little spikes.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mean-sandals#post-634556 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:46:06 +0000 ironkurtin 634556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying to come to grips with $140+ for sandals... </p>
