On one, almost the ENTIRE SOLE detached from the rest of the boot while I was wearing it - it had a big chunky heel too so I had to limp home with this big huge flappy sole+heel flopping about only attached at the toe. The other pair had a side seam that burst open (like for several inches) also while I was wearing it so everyone got a good look at my brightly colored socks. </p> <p>That aside, I've never found it economical to have boots (or any shoes really) resoled... although replacing heel caps is occasionally a good idea. I often wear through the ball of my shoes from the inside out (like through the padding), which is not fixable in any case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594579 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:33:10 +0000 Meredith1953 594579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have loved them and worn them. Time to replace them with another lovely pair! So glad you got that CPW down so low. I need to start tracking that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594573 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:26:13 +0000 Freckles 594573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that lyn.</p> <p>Do aldo shoes/boots have a bad rep? I was looking at a few of their bags a few weeks ago... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594549 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:08:08 +0000 rae 594549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, noes! I've never worn a pair of shoes through since I was in elementary school... Sounds like this is an opportunity to upgrade to a more durable version, so have fun! I would balk at $75, too, unless we were talking about my all-time favorites. In a way, it's nice to get to shop without thinking about one-in-one-out or overstuffing the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594503 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:34:15 +0000 christieanne 594503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like just before summer is perfect time to look for boots - good deals out there.<br /> I peeked in a local shoe boutique that I usually only browse in and all their boots are marked down. Between that and online, replacements should be hunted down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594498 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:29:58 +0000 Heather 594498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scratch this then, huh? ;D</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-booties-on-clearance-aldo" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....rance-aldo</a></p> <p>Hooray for new boots! Best of luck on your hunt. End of season equals super deals. Go and get 'em! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594325 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:35:38 +0000 lyn* 594325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Resoling my booties will cost (ready?) $75. I was like ... uh; no? :p My boots were originally &gt; $100, but I bought them for &lt; $50; so paying more than I originally did for the resole doesn't really work in my mind.</p> <p>I am very excited about replacement shopping! I have a few pairs of boots I need to replace (mostly because of their soles wearing out after about 50-60 uses); so I have been stalking a few pair of favourites - I just need their price to go down a smidgen more.</p> <p>Lesson learned: no more Aldo shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594292 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:56:20 +0000 Janet 594292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time for replacements! </p> <p>I've found it can be hard to find the perfect replacement for a well-loved item. I've bought a couple of close-but-not-quite replacements for my beloved beat up black flat sandals from years ago, and yet I still keep the old ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594289 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:53:51 +0000 Freckles 594289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you should go to the cobbler to see what resoling would cost. That way if it's economical you could shop sagely without a time limit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594272 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:40:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 594272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - definitely time for replacements! Glad you didn't fall when you slid...of course, you were at a hospital at the time so would have received quick care (lol)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594258 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:24:26 +0000 Beth Ann 594258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The things we do for CPW! Hope you find the most amazing replacement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594146 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:19:50 +0000 jayne 594146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too fun, how does replacement shopping feel? I have a few items on replacement list but it seems so boring compared to 'brand new' shopping. Am I alone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594136 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:46:21 +0000 Kiwichik 594136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the feeling I finally had to dispose of a favorite pair of red heels that had more resole than actual sole left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sign-i-probably-need-new-boots#post-594131 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:28:03 +0000 lyn* 594131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... the soles on my turn-to little black booties have officially worn through! I slid halfway down a hall at the hospital today on the hard plastic that remained :p </p> <p>I am considering a re-sole, but they are getting quite a bit scuffed up - successfully made it to &lt; $1 CPW though; so I am pretty happy :)</p> <p>I left a HUGE black streak all the way down the hall. Sorry, housekeepers!</p> <p>*giggly* </p>
