It's good to know that footwear can get a grippy sole if needed. I buy stick-on petals for the bottoms to keep from sliding, but this would be even better. I hope your work place put the rubber mats back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1142367 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:13:52 +0000 pastrygirl 1142367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same booties and am ALWAYS slipping!!!!! I wore them to the mall last weekend and was sliding around Nordstrom. It was crazy.&nbsp;I have to do this ASAP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1142340 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:55:35 +0000 Angie 1142340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH. So glad the boots are safe to wear now. Super grippy and peppy. You look sleek and fab, Thistle. Those KUT jeans are terrific. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1142334 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:53:38 +0000 Anonymous 1142334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I've never thought to do something like that with my boots, but that makes a lot of sense, especially for people like me who tend toward klutziness at the best of times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1142326 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:48:12 +0000 deb 1142326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice boots. I am glad you did not hurt your self too bad when you fell. I have two pair of shoes at the cobbler now having heals replaced. Why can't they make the shoes with non slip heels to begin with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1142307 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:28:48 +0000 K. Period. 1142307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful!

I am glad that you got those boots fixed so that you can enjoy them now. They are very pretty.<br /> Can they add rubber runners to the floors at your work? They did that by us and that helped decrease the number of employees falling because of slippery floors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1141741 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:48:16 +0000 shemarie 1141741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you had problems with the boots, but so glad you were able to save them, because they are simply awesome!

I did that for a favorite pair of leather-soled booties, mostly to protect them from wet weather. They definitely are less slippery now. Enjoy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1141685 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:50:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1141685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you saved those boots Thistle 'cause they are gorgeous. I've had soles changed as well and can't get over the difference it makes. </p> <p>I really like the strong and simple look here and those jeans are incredibly flattering on you. Hope you can find them again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1141675 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:43:19 +0000 Suz 1141675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I did this to my Report booties, too, because they had slippery bottoms, and wow, was I ever glad I did. Cost &nbsp;a bit, but totally worth it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1141673 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:42:31 +0000 Emily 1141673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! &nbsp;Those rubber outsoles make a real difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-01172014---back-from-the-cobbler#post-1141672 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:41:23 +0000 Anonymous 1141672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great getting the boots fixed.

We are a heavy manufacturer and have no carpet. The floors, especially in winter,&nbsp;can get pretty slick. So while the boots were fine at home, I was terrified to wear them back to work.</p> <p>So, I finally got off my tail and took them to the cobbler that recently opened in my area. He replaced the heels and the soles. I picked them up yesterday, so of course&nbsp;I had to wear them today! </p> <p>BCBG Booties (Angie Recommended), Kut jeans (I didn't duplicate, so still trying to find these), Talbots textured sweater, and a&nbsp;tee underneath. Added the bracelet my sister helped me make and a fierce dragon pendant she got me. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Update: Added a picture of the necklace.</p>
