I hate shoes of all kind and would much rather be wearing sandals. It took a while to conform but uggs are now my winter staple. My classic tall chestnut uggs are my favorite i wear them every where and any where
in the winter regardless of weather. I weather proofed them and i never had a problem. Same thing with other pairs. So when i waited 3 weeks last winter on back order and got my rum raisins i weather proofed and wore them with love and care.
Two months ago i wore them in torrential rain... and then parked my car about 3 blocks from my destination. They had a stripe across both from water marks... even after they dried. I did not fret it had happened to the chestnuts and the line always went away.I got concerned when 2 weeks later it didn't go away. So i bought the UGG cleaning solution (took a while i'm a busy lady)- read the directions and cleaned them. 3 days later went down stairs to check on them (i have a bad memory) and they look worse then before!
I might try to take them back to nordstroms as they have the BEST return policy ever... or maybe a shoe cobbler guy... but coming from a non-shoe girl... i've never been so sad about the loss of a pair of shoes before or put so much effort into a pair of shoes!
Pathetic? maybe.... but as common as uggs where... i never met anyone else with rum raisin. suggestions? I guess i could buy a new pair but i just counted and i have 5 pairs of uggs... excessive, definitely.
I never knew they did them in that colour! Very nice! I got watermarks on my black Uggs last year on my fab trip to NYC. (The baggage belt broke at London Heathrow meaning we could only take what we were wearing! I figured I could buy more shoes in NYC so the Uggs got worn to death doing the tourist bit... and then it snowed!) It mostly brushed off and if you look closely you can still see a trace but I like to think of it as shopping battle scars of a trip of a lifetime! One that I want to repeat soon!
ReplyDeleteooo i wish these where battle scars... they are more like permanent branding... similar to what you see on a horse.
ReplyDeletehmm i think i would do london in one outfit... just to finally be there!
oh my gosh! your problem is so similar to mine! i found this blog actually SHOPPING online for another pair of rum raisin because one day my dad saw that my old pair where a little dirty, so while i was out he decided to do me a little favor and clean them... with sneaker cleaner! needless to say they where ruined and have been that way for almost a year i thought i would eventually get over it, and now that it is so cold i have found that getting over it is going to be virtually impossible. they are so cute, and like you... i have never met another person with these shoes.
ReplyDeletemy suggestion to you would be to definitely get a new pair if you have the money. they are just too awesome to give up! ;] (even if you already have 5 other pairs. lol)
