The last thing you need are your shoes throwing your body out of alignment causing problems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out/page/2#post-1840230 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 18:45:00 +0000 Anonymous 1840230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ryce - I think I might like an update on the wedge heel. Maybe a block heel instead. So I don't think I'd want an exact duplicate. </p> <p>I do like the idea of finding gently used sandals online. </p> <p>The Cat: thanks for your idea. I think I'm going to hang on to them for very casual occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out/page/2#post-1840221 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 18:26:50 +0000 The Cat 1840221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would consider them (nearly) worn out. If I loved them, I would wear them for rest of the summer. And if I just couldn't let them go then, next year I would wear them only at home or at very casual occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out/page/2#post-1840217 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 18:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 1840217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you really like them and know they are comfortable, I echo StyleFan about trying to find a pair of the same on Ebay or Amazon. &nbsp;Do you remember or have access to the style name? &nbsp;I often find brand new items that are a few years old on those sites. &nbsp;I just bought a new replacement pair of some beloved Everybody sandals that are about the same vintage on Amazon for about 25% of the original price.<br />I also really like minimalist's idea of keeping them for situations where you wouldn't want to risk your nicer shoes - IF those situations occur reasonably often for you AND you have the storage space. &nbsp;I always kept a past-their-prime pair of shoes in my office for days when the weather unexpectedly turned and I didn't want to go out in the shoes I wore into the office for the day. &nbsp;Would these work for that purpose for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out/page/2#post-1840215 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 18:07:47 +0000 Anonymous 1840215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>StyleFan, thanks for the tip about Pham ark. I didn't realize they weren't in Canada.</p> <p>Jenni and Laura --agree that dainty seems less available. I love t-straps but couldn't find any. I am also game for the very minimal ankle strap with one strap across the toes. We'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840206 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 16:56:58 +0000 Laura G 1840206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I was about to say I'd go right on wearing these, until I saw the front edge wear. That's the only bit I think would be noticeable from where people's eyes usually are when looking at your shoes. As Marie Kondo would say, thank them for their service and let them go.</p> <p><b>Jenni NZ --</b>&nbsp;Yeah, they're really not doing pretty or delicate in shoes right now. I'm waiting too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840172 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 12:14:47 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1840172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think they're done.

So sad to say goodbye to comfortable heels, a rare find indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840166 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 11:50:18 +0000 Style Fan 1840166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try ebay.&nbsp; We can`t use Poshmark in Canada.&nbsp; I have found my favourite Paige jeans on ebay (which they don`t make anymore).&nbsp; My jeans are brand new and 1/3 of the price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840138 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 06:35:19 +0000 Staysfit 1840138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's time to move on. Although, my style may be more on the polished side, so I think these look too worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840137 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 06:33:41 +0000 skylurker 1840137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very subjective, isn't it? I don't mind the scraping in front (could probably be covered by polish) but the heels are worn out in my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840119 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 05:15:47 +0000 Gigi 1840119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like these are a little worn, and I know that I would feel less than amazing wearing them. I &nbsp;was going to suggest taking them to a cobbler to see if something could be done to fix the wear, but it looks like you are content to buy a similar pair and do not have to have this exact pair.</p> <p>You could also search ebay or Poshmark to see if someone has a gently used pair in your size that they are selling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840081 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 01:04:54 +0000 Jenni NZ 1840081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes sometimes beloved shoes are hard to replace. I can't find replacements for my red sandals 2009 or orange sandals 2013 yet. For the red I have even checked US sites like DSW and Zappos. Nothing is dainty or pretty enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840041 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 23:56:08 +0000 Anonymous 1840041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your votes!<br /> Jenni, these shoes will be tough to replace and I don't feel good letting them go without a replacement :-)<br /> I don't need the cork or the wedge but do need the nude/tan colour and strapiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1840028 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 23:07:28 +0000 Brooklyn 1840028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the toe area decides it for me.

I am with Lisap in that the wear on the front edge bothers me, and after 6 years you have had great use out of them. For me also, I would vacillate between chuck now at end of summer so that I'm forced to get a new pair next year, or store over winter so I can make sure that I don't chuck until I have the replacement in my hot little hand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1839998 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 21:26:56 +0000 Anonymous 1839998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say they need to be replaced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1839982 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 20:33:27 +0000 Anonymous 1839982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next year fashiontern.<br /> I don't think I'll bother with the repair kit.<br /> I've had these shoes for 6 years in steady rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1839980 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 20:27:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1839980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We must've been writing at the same time!

If you go the leather conditioner route instead, I'd also ask for products to repair cork at the home improvements store. They have putty and markers for other types of wood, so why not for cork as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1839978 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 20:23:21 +0000 Anonymous 1839978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I don't think I'll bother with the resoling.<br /> Summer refresh it is!<br /> Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-consider-these-worn-out#post-1839977 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 20:13:49 +0000 Thistle 1839977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try leather conditioner.
