While rummaging around in one of the wardrobes the other night, I dug out my pair of Perfect Leather Ankle Boots. I've had these things for 12 or 13 years, and have never found another pair of boots as good. (And believe me, I've looked. Oh, how I've looked.)*
The problem is, the toes are ... battered. In fact, worn through on the right boot. The heels are also a bit worn, but I know those can be fixed. I just don't know if the battered & worn-through toes are fixable. Should I just take them to my usual shoe repair place and make pitiful noises? Or are they a completely lost cause?
*The closest I have found to a replacement pair are these 'turn of the century walking shoes' (yes, a clicky link!), but I want to find out if my Perfect Leather Ankle Boots can be repaired before I plunk down $149 + s&h.
