I am very curious about this myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-the-plunge-to-have-boots-tailored#post-55864 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:18:16 +0000 April 55864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you read that correctly -- boots. I have been going back and forth in my mind over whether to have the calves taken in on a pair of boots I love but that are much too roomy in that area. I want to wear them with skirts, but they make me look like I'm standing in a hole. Not good.</p> <p>I knew this was likely to cost some money. But, after pricing Duo calf-fit boots (and their spendy shipping from the UK) and realizing that if I let these boots sit in my closet, I would have pretty much thrown away the money I already spent on them, I took my boots into the cobbler's today and asked if he could take in the calves. </p> <p>He has done this before and said he could have them ready by the end of the week. The cost: about $80. I know -- ouch -- but I got the boots on a good sale, and getting a pair of calf-fit boots would be closer to $200. </p> <p>If you've been debating this yourself, stay tuned... I will post a photo when I get the results. It will either be a photo of some well-fitting boots, or a photo of me sobbing over a very expensive mistake. </p>
