It’s frustrating and part of why I now prefer heels that are not covered in that soft leather. I hope you can fix them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374603 Mon, 18 Nov 2024 13:16:20 +0000 RobinF 2374603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh bummer. I have some dressy shoes that have the heels a little bit beat up. It does seem to be a danger with a leather covered heel. Hope you can fix it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374412 Fri, 15 Nov 2024 14:20:38 +0000 Kyle 2374412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear heels all the time and it was not unusual for them to get scarred up in this way. Fortunately they can be smoothed, glued and cleaned up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374400 Fri, 15 Nov 2024 12:24:11 +0000 Helena 2374400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you all! This is so very helpful. I guess I've never had heels that are covered like this before. I'll see what cobbler can do although I fear it will cost more than the boots. Crazy glue and patience might be the best option . Appreciate all of your solutions and wisdom ... I've learned something new so that is a good consolation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374395 Fri, 15 Nov 2024 09:31:30 +0000 Sisi 2374395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena, a good cobbler can fix it perfectly. I commented in Angie's post about kitten heels that I do not wear them because they can easily get stuck in cobblestone pavings. Ask me how I know! Many years ago (I was young and naive) I wore a beautiful pair of red kitten heel shoes to go visit an ancient town with a&nbsp; friend ... go figure. I returned home with the heels completely ruined, but my super cobbler fixed them in an impeccable way.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374381 Fri, 15 Nov 2024 01:06:56 +0000 Jaime 2374381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to see. I have an old pair of kitten heel Ferragamo ankle boots and the heels are plastic (or some other none leather material). At first I was surprised that such a high quality brand had plastic heels but have since realized how smart it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374376 Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:30:09 +0000 Style Fan 2374376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad.&nbsp; They are such great boots.&nbsp; A cobbler should be able to fix them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374371 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 23:09:55 +0000 Suz 2374371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes -- too bad! But it can definitely be improved.&nbsp;</p> <p>My beloved Ecco cream boots have some damage of that kind on the inside of the heel. Am going to try to repair as well as I can because they are such great boots!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374359 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:02:10 +0000 Angie 2374359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That can happen, unfortunately - to any leather heel. Driving can cause that too. Sorry, <b>Helena</b>! URGHH! :(</p> <p>Cobbler can absolutely take the edge off. Make it look much better than it does. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374358 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 19:57:47 +0000 Kate 2374358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happened to me a lot back in the day when I wore narrow, leather covered high heels. As Carla and others mentioned, it’s an easy do-it-yourself fix with some careful stretching out of the torn piece, crazy glue and pressing the repair out neatly in all directions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374357 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 19:48:19 +0000 Cookie 2374357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nooo! I’ve always had good luck with Naturalizer boots but none have had those delicate heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374354 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 19:17:58 +0000 Lisa 2374354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boo! Sorry that happened, hopefully you can get them fixed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374352 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 19:10:58 +0000 JAileen 2374352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had that happen, too. &nbsp;Like Carla, I was able to fix it myself. &nbsp;Re driving: &nbsp;with dirt and grit on the floor mats, I’ve found driving to scratch up my shoes a surprising amount. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374348 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 18:12:54 +0000 Helena 2374348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh so glad I posted ... I'll see if the cobbler can glue it! I will also try to avoid covered heels in future. I've never had this happen before and these do not get hard wear so the only thing I can think is from driving ... Which I feel should not damage a shoe lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374347 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 18:08:47 +0000 Carla 2374347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something like this has happened to me when a heel got caught in a steel grate. &nbsp;I was able to press/smooth the leather out and crazy glue it down successfully. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Cobbles, bricks, uneven pavement, steel grates - can be hard on footwear. &nbsp;I now understand why people have ‘driving shoes’ like the Todd’s. &nbsp;The right outside heel of my footwear seems to see extra wear and tear from using the gas peddle. &nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374346 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 18:03:51 +0000 Joyce B 2374346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry that happened to your boots. It looks like the heel got caught in something, that happens to me a lot with that type of heel. I think/hope your cobbler can repair that heel for you, stretching the wrinkled part and glueing together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/naturalizer-boot-fail-1#post-2374345 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 17:55:03 +0000 Helena 2374345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, I was about to post about my Naturalizer kitten heel booties yesterday when I realized the heel is peeling!! Sadly I don't think this is fixable I will still wear these when my pants legs will keep it from being too noticeable. Just sharing as I had recommended these boots when I first bought them ... Buyer beware I'm afraid, and a lesson learned for me in evaluating quality. </p>
