That would maintain the height but put it at a more reasonable place for stubby me without ruining the integrity of the design. </p> <p>Thanks for checking it out for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683504 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:05:36 +0000 Anonymous 683504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Measure away and let me know!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683501 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:03:28 +0000 catgirl 683501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think an inch or at most an inch and a half. I will have to measure precisely since I didn't even bother at my cobbler. I think they are more about repairs than alterations, and I'm glad they were honest.</p> <p>You are a star! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683498 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:00:54 +0000 Anonymous 683498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I will be in that area next Tuesday so I could do it. How much do they need to be shortened by? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683492 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:54:13 +0000 catgirl 683492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey MK, they are grey and a size 6... The trouble is the shaft height which hits too high on my leg. Rae, Zap and Mo are all just "that" much taller than me. Well, Zap is a lot taller and leggier.</p> <p>Zap, you are so sweet to offer to help! I'd love to find out before you go through the trouble of having me ship them and lug them to the cobbler, but if you can show him yours and ask whether it's possible and how much it would be, that would be great.</p> <p>It may be more trouble than it's worth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683486 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:44:03 +0000 MsMary 683486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, what size and color are they, and what's the fit problem?</p> <p>Signed,</p> <p>Una's Adopted Sister Who Loves Her Hand-Me-Downs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683483 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:39:23 +0000 Anonymous 683483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea Rae.<br /> Una, are you up for it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683480 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:37:03 +0000 rae 683480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, yes, I agree it is worth a second opinion. My best friend and all her sisters have tiny calves and literally have EVERY boot they own altered. I find it hard to believe that the Julias can't be taken down that small amount. </p> <p>Zap, to save on shipping in case the cobbler says no... I wonder the cobbler could give his opinion by looking at your pair of Julias? Then if he says he can do it Una can ship them out to him? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683438 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:40:56 +0000 Mo 683438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boo! I thought for sure if they fit me, they'd work for you. Maybe Zap's cobbler is worth a look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683429 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:33:23 +0000 Anonymous 683429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From their site, select boot alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683427 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:32:35 +0000 Anonymous 683427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, so sad Una but.. but...<br /> I have an idea, there is a place in downtown NYC, where they are EXPERTS in tailoring boots and shoes. Why don't you ship the boots to your sister or to me with your measurements? I volunteer to make an appointment with these people. Perhaps you can email them a picture before hand. This is the place:<br /> <a href="http://www.cesarsshoerepair.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cesarsshoerepair.com/</a></p> <p>ETA: Not to say that your cobbler isn't a pro. This is just like a second opinion kind of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-go-on-the-frye-julias#post-683417 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:26:50 +0000 catgirl 683417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobbler wouldn't touch them - which was probably smarter than ruining them. So back they go again. Mo, Zap, Rae and others who have these, you are so lucky they fit you! </p>
