bought some nice shoes from Camden yesterday for 20 squid. Wore them for the first time this evening, and one (why not both) of the heels has already worn down. Do I take them back? It's flippin' Camden, should I expect any better? Will a replacement pair do exactly the same? Shall I just get it re-heeled at my local friendly cobblers? they <i> are </i> pretty shoes...
input, please!

Ps: I have just found out that apparently top of the pops started up agian today. Why did I not know of this? I am a bad pop princess

Re-heeled at the cobblers ALL THE WAY. Cobblers tend to do a much better job of shoes than shoe manufacturers themselves!

The cobbling comment is right, and you can get it done for £3-7 depending where and exactly what needs to be be done. ALthough - getting shoes re-heeled and souled costs me £10, which is expencive if they're not awesome shoes anyway.

any way, I'm off to bed soon and if you're around tomorrow, fancy coming to Camden again? I need clothes :)

ahhh i'd get them fixed. they may have been "cheap" to buy, but whatever you actually pay for them, good shoes are hard to find! Just ask a few different cobbers before you get them done - prices can vary quite abit for the same service!
