bigj3650 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I just bought a pair of round toe stilettos from ebay (i think they are comming into fashion in scotland anyway) and they are black patent. What i failed to spot is the the black patent is all wrinkly down one side of one shoe.....i was wondering if there is a "safe method" of getting rid of the wrinkles or will they wear out with wearing them?? Also they are proper stilettos with the proper metal heel tap..and they were a bargin at £10 incl. p&p (size 8 and they fit fine) thanks J p.s Dr Shoe those boots you gave me are fine now...the right heel does have a bad tendancy of clicking where it shouldnt (right at the top of the heel itself...but i sorted that with a screw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 The wrinkles are propably caused by stretching and so therefore cannot be repaired. Sometimes they could be from where something heavy was stored on top of them in which case they might go with wear. If they are real leather, you could try and smooth them with steam, but don't even try this on plastic! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.

DandyDude Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 You could put a grain on them. That way it would look as though the wrinkling was intentional, rather than a defect.
