mlroseplant Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I got caught in a heavy rainstorm more than a mile away from home. I did have an umbrella with me, but I still got soaked from the knees down, and had to walk through some rivulets several inches deep. These sandals have been my trusty friends for nearly 100 miles. I hope they are OK when they dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUVSHeels Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 They look leather Miroseplant. If they are, let them dry naturally and then just clean them with some good leather cleaner and you should be ok. I hate it when bad things happen to good things. Good luck and keep on heeling, LUVSHeels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnsofheels Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Geez Miroseplant, did it wash off your pedicure too? Kidding, but the visual was funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Geez Miroseplant, did it wash off your pedicure too? Kidding, but the visual was funny! No offense taken, but yeah, I don't do nail polish. Actually, I prefer bare nails on both women and men. I had just given myself a much-needed pedicure. I have to do it myself these days, ever since my gal Bình decided to go back to being a tailor instead of a nail tech. It's a long story...

Guest Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Save the shoes. Take them off if there is a chance they will get ruined. Even though I h ad on nail polish and would not normally let anyone see I was going to remove the pair of shoes I have on today to save them. Fortunately the rain stopped.

Steve63130 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Mlroseplant, Wet leather should dry fine if you let it dry naturally and don't expose it to heat. After all, it probably got wet many times when it was still on the animal! Your sandals should be okay. They look like the Sofft sandals you inspired me to get. Are they?

Steve Yes, Steve, those *are* the Söfft Belicias I've had for a couple of years that you took an immediate liking to. I've had them sitting on the floor for a few days with a wad of paper towels loosely stuffed into them, in an attempt to preserve the shape. My fear was that they would stretch out too much while they were wet, as I had to walk more than a mile home after I was caught in the downpour. I watched as my toes got closer and closer to sticking over the edge of the sandals. It has definitely loosened them up some, but not too much, I think. I have yet to test them out in the real world. Appearance-wise, it didn't hurt them too much. What it *did* do is leech/grind a ton of black shoe polish into my feet, which took several days to come all the way out. I'll report again once I have walked a mile or two in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephinep Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Mmmhh those shoes are too precious to get ruined by rainy weather. When I can, I carry some flip-flops with me if I think it's going to rain. Not the fanciest choice but it's a way to keep my shoes safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlroseplant Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 They appear to have survived. I took a couple mile walk in them last night, and they're fine. If they stretched out at all, it wasn't very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
