If it still rubs, it would be a deal breaker for me and I would return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-stitching-rubbing-quality-problem#post-1476045 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 16:46:55 +0000 catseye 1476045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interestingly the stitches on the right foot is smooth and doesn't rub. Only the left side has obvious stitching. I think I will get another pair before I give up completely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-stitching-rubbing-quality-problem#post-1476043 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 16:45:39 +0000 Diana 1476043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the stitching on the sole or on the bands?&nbsp; I often have this issue as well.&nbsp; Born makes some of my favorite shoes but I HATE the stitching on their soles, it always rubs and causes blisters.&nbsp; </p> <p>These are useful for soles:<br /><a href="http://www.summersoles.com/shop-womens-suede.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.summersoles.com/shop-womens-suede.html</a></p> <p>For small issues on bands, sticking moleskin on the insides usually does the trick, although if the bothersome part is really big or pointy it might not be enough.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-stitching-rubbing-quality-problem#post-1476039 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 16:44:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1476039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could be, or it could be just where the stitching happens to hit your foot on this style. Most people have one foot that's bigger than the other so things may bug you on one side but not the other. Personally, unless it's minor I wouldn't risk it. I'd return them and try a different style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-stitching-rubbing-quality-problem#post-1476033 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 16:40:53 +0000 catseye 1476033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often have issues with stitching in the shoes rubbing my feet. Obviously more problematic with sandals since I cannot wear shocks to break them in. Is this a quality problem?&nbsp;</p> <p>I just got the Steve Madden Orka.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Madden-Orka-Platform-Leather/dp/B00PMHZNNU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1429288730&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=steve+madden+orka"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Madden-Orka-Platform-Leather/dp/B00PMHZNNU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=14" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Ma.....038;qid=14</a>...</a></p> <p>They are comfortable other than this one part where the stitching pokes at my left foot. Would another pair be free of this problem?&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks!<br />Catseye </p>
