Here is the closeup of where he took them in: <a href="http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_0046.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0046.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-tailored-boots-are-back-from-the-cobbler#post-60017 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:21:53 +0000 April 60017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, those of you who suffer with skinny-calf syndrome may recall that a couple of weeks ago I took a pair of boots to the cobbler and asked him to take them in a few inches: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-the-plunge-to-have-boots-tailored?replies=7" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....?replies=7</a></p> <p>It took him longer than expected, but here are the results:</p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/IMG_0043.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0043.jpg</a></p> <p>If you look closely, you can see that when he opened the back seam to make the shaft smaller, he used a narrow strip of leather to rejoin the two sides:<br /> <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/IMG_0043.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0043.jpg</a></p> <p>I am so pleased! Angie said she had a good feeling about this, and she was right. (Is she ever wrong?) </p>
