This dry-rot on new shoes thing happened to me with a pair of lovely Clarks Artisan step-in sandals I purchased at a resale store. They looked "like new". But they disintegrated and crumbled away from the sole the first time I wore them...sudden fwap, fwap down the hall to the elevator. I saved the leather tops for future doll projects too. I also had an older pair of perfect black Aerosole suede oxfords (never worn) that I had stored away, unscratched, unmarked, for the right occasion. The lining and any non-leather parts dry-rotted away the first time I wore them with my elegant black trouser look. Uh huh...so much for stockpiling size 11 and 12 shoes in multiple colors for the future! Not worth it...luckily I have Ebay now, and it is easier to find size 11s and 12s reliably, although you still don't know how old they are. (The Aerosoles were purchased on the ShopGoodwill.com site.)Eklectic1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05664037132783743841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-47851113188804243372011-11-27T10:01:54.787-06:002011-11-27T10:01:54.787-06:00Very creative Debbie!

Interestingly this happened to me as...Funny story. Interestingly this happened to me as well. My shoes were fushia/pink suede flat loafer type shoes. I adored them but due to the color, I didn't get get much wear out of them. I went to lunch with a dear friend that I had not seen in a long while. As we chatted away I just so happen to look down. I saw the crumbles under the table and thought somebody had not done a good job at vacuuming. Long story short, when I got up to leave my entire sole was on the floor. I had to walk out bear feet. I was totally humiliated because I also went the extra mile to be cute especially since I had not seen my friend in a while. So embarrassing....now I can laugh.<br /><br />Happy Saturday to you!Georgia Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161464262175993611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-50051281675624293432011-11-25T08:06:34.453-06:002011-11-25T08:06:34.453-06:00Very funny story and neat skirt design.

The shoes had literally dry rotted in my closet. I was so ticked because they had never been worn. So I understand the whole crumb leaving thing. Things like this tend to happen when we go out of our way to look exceptionally cute. Sounds like you were looking pretty fly. I love the skirt. It's perfect for Adele.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.com
