I will call Nordies and see if they have that.<br /> If it works maybe my daughter can keep her shoes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537206 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:49:34 +0000 Cerinda 1537206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My black birkies did that for a while, too, this summer. &nbsp;The Nordie's shoe department SA offered to exchange them but also showed me a leather-friendly spray fixative they stock: &nbsp;it worked! &nbsp;He also suggested spraying pale handbags and totes to prevent them from picking up dye from denim.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537203 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:47:36 +0000 Joyce B 1537203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Laura, that's good to know if I decide to keep, but I am thinking probably not.<br /> I see that the problem with shoe staining your feet is not too uncommon. I am glad your shoes stopped doing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537118 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 16:21:06 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1537118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had that happen with cheaper brands, and it always stopped after a while. I had a pair of Borns which inexplicably had a black inside, even though the shoe was nude on the outside. The first few times I wore them I ended up with black dye on my feet (it washed/wore off) but eventually they stopped doing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537090 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:24:23 +0000 Joyce B 1537090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Elle. I think you are right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537079 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:07:24 +0000 Elle 1537079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How annoying.&nbsp; Take them back.&nbsp; For that price, you deserve unstained socks (and feet). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537066 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 14:46:52 +0000 Joyce B 1537066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. I will call Nordies. I also got the metallic so I will keep those.<br /> I hope the all black and the black and grey do not stain because I got those two colors for my daughter, she needs good shoes for school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1537061 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 14:41:07 +0000 Angie 1537061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rotten luck about the dye. Phone Nordies. My clients bought these in the metallic and those did not stain.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-mephisto-yael-staining#post-1536993 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:24:18 +0000 Joyce B 1536993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my Mephisto Yael for a little bit and they were very comfortable. I was happy with them until I took them off and saw that they stained my thin cotton socks in black and the dye also went through the socks and onto my feet. It comes from the black detail on the toe cap and sides, the inside does not have a liner. They did not get wet and nothing happened that could explain the staining.<br /> Has anyone else had the same experience?<br /> Do you have any thoughts on how to stabilize the dye so it does not run?<br /> It seems to me that the problem is the lack of a liner on the inside of the shoe.<br /> Maybe I got a rogue and others don't have this problem?<br /> I don't think shoes should stain your feet and much less a shoe that is supposed to be of high quality and definitely not cheap. I got them for a good price at NAS but they were still pricey.<br /> What are your thoughts on this? Is there a way to stop the dye from running?<br /> Thanks for reading. I hope someone has a good solution to this, otherwise I will probably return them. </p>
