Looks like my shop does not have the Janet. I suppose they could bring them in, but I am quite keen to buy these shoes in the city where I have vouchers to spend.</p> <p>Went to Rivers and could find a couple of the ones Karen posted. However not comfortable. Also have had bad experiences with Rivers quality in the past. I guess in shoes (not clothes) I am a bit of a snob and prepared to pay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-351082 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:06:09 +0000 Aida 351082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find patent really versatile, and wear my black patent heels all year 'round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-350905 Mon, 16 May 2011 18:05:44 +0000 Lisa 350905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find my patent shoes are oddly enough more durable and can handle rainy days with less worry than my leather one's.

I think I prefer the first one too.<br /> I will absolutely have to try them on. My fussy feet will not cope with online ordering.</p> <p>Thanks Karen for all those links. Those prices are insanely low. Will head down to my Rivers and have a try on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-350150 Sun, 15 May 2011 06:46:59 +0000 puffenstuff 350150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I found some alternatives on the Rivers website for you</p> <p>These ones are patent:<br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=24155&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=24120&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=24558&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a></p> <p>These are just plain black<br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=22038&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=20789&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=20477&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=18845&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/blowuppage.asp?SP=18844&#038;PS=22" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....#038;PS=22</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-350061 Sun, 15 May 2011 02:35:35 +0000 rosee 350061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both shoes are nice, but I think I prefer the first. Trying them on should help you decide, not all HPs fit the same. Patent is very versatile and you can care for it pretty easily.</p> <p>Another trick that I did a long while ago that worked (I don't own patent right now but would) was when I had a long scratch, I used black marker along the line then patent restorer to polish up the shoes -- it was barely visible unless actively looking for that scratch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-350059 Sun, 15 May 2011 02:28:53 +0000 rae 350059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three pairs of black heels and they are all patent -- I like how they can transition from fall to spring... somehow, shiny says spring to me. They have held up well, and I sometimes wear them every day of the week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-350055 Sun, 15 May 2011 02:17:29 +0000 yublocka 350055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute shoes Anne. I really like the first pair! I have a few pairs of shoe with some patent on them (Me Too Swanns). I don't find the scuffing on them a problem at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-349714 Sat, 14 May 2011 15:27:44 +0000 Beth 349714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My patent heels have often held up better than softer leather ones.

Yes, scratches are fixable, at least I'm fairly sure they are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-pair-of-heels-for-the-next-5-years-patent#post-349538 Sat, 14 May 2011 02:40:13 +0000 anne 349538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have written before that I have on my list this winter a pair of heels. I don't wear head heels often - it might get worn once a fortnight for 6 months of the year. I had some great suggestions of metallic or grey shoes which I am still definitely considering.</p> <p>Looking around the small resources of my town I had a look at some hush puppies and then online Quite like the look of<br /> <a href="http://www.hushpuppies.com.au/shoe.aspx?pid=2316" rel="nofollow">http://www.hushpuppies.com.au/shoe.aspx?pid=2316</a><br /> <a href="http://www.hushpuppies.com.au/shoe.aspx?pid=2269" rel="nofollow">http://www.hushpuppies.com.au/shoe.aspx?pid=2269</a><br /> I need straps btw.</p> <p>Anyway they are both patent. Am a bit worried it wouldn't last, especially since I often have to kneel down to deal with kids.<br /> Have I just talked myself out of patent or are scratches fixable? </p>
