This week I received a pair of beautiful Italian riding boots that I purchased on ebay and they are TIGHT! At first I had thought that I would have to resell to try and recoup my money but now I am going to have a good attempt at stretching them. May you come across another perfect find really soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171561 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 17:19:48 +0000 April 171561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, that's the story of thrifting, isn't it? So heartbreaking. But those near-misses make the perfect finds that much sweeter when they do come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171552 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:43:22 +0000 Anonymous 171552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad. They are great looking boots. I admire your self discipline to leave them for someone else rather than buy something uncomfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171549 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:25:21 +0000 Rosie 171549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boooooo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171545 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:15:47 +0000 Christie 171545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only thought about stretching them after leaving the store, but even so, they were quite uncomfortable upon first putting my foot in. </p> <p>Someone else will find a great deal! Thanks for commiserating with me though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171486 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:44:33 +0000 Isabel 171486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is a bummer...dare I say that they really are beautiful. I have heard that you can stretch toe boxes. Anyone ever done it ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171478 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:06:09 +0000 Maya 171478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have bought them and stretched the living daylights out of them. Pikolinos is a great brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171456 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:27:35 +0000 Sarah Baker 171456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, I feel your pain. Are you sure they wouldn't stretch a little with wear? My boots have loosened up since I bought them at the beginning of fall last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171452 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 09:51:04 +0000 Katiepea 171452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doh! Hopefully the perfect pair of boots is just being unpacked in your local thrift store right now, just waiting for you to find them next time you go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171428 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:30:09 +0000 AJ 171428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh bummer! How about buying it and reselling it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-miss-bummed#post-171427 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:26:20 +0000 Christie 171427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a pair of tall Pikolino boots in excellent/like new condition today at Goodwill for $30, size 38 (my size usually), but too tight in the toebox. Bummer!!! </p> <p>They were a wedge heel ... looked like this first link, but with the topstitching like the second link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/pikolinos-dinamarca-tall-boot-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/pikolino.....boot-black</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/pikolinos-la-palma-tall-boot-d-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/pikolino.....ot-d-black</a> </p>
