Shoes from Charles & Keith

[Dozalot]

sandals and wedges from C & K are pretty okay but definitely not their pointed pumps. it's so stiff and narrow that even my feet that are considered narrow got 'squashed' everytime i wear it..ended up with blisters and cuts on the sides as well as at the back of my heels.. it's really a torture to wear them to work.. and i really mean that it is really a torture to my feet

Actually I really like the designs of their pointed pumps...I still see many lovely designs that I would buy IF THEY DON't hurt soooo much! Once, I bought 2 pairs at one go and 1 size bigger just in case, but they still bite me so bad at the front and my feet aren't that broad in the first place.

Agnes, exactly! they are now lining up in the shoes cabinet..untouched..

Besides being extremely uncomfortable, C&K shoes are also not durable... There's always something wrong with the soles, and I absolutely hate that. After wearing for a few days, the rubber attached to the heels always seem to wear out, so that when you walk it's very dangerous, and repairing is not so cheap. Irritating... I always felt like the money saved on shoes was spent on the cobblers' services instead.

I agree that their shoes don't last, but that's why I just buy them wear for a no. of months and just change them therafter However, it seems to cut my feet less though, as compared to URS, VNC and DMK... totally gave up on the other brands...

CK replaces the rubber stud for free i get mine replaced every month or fornight...

is that so? Never knew that!

[birthday_flame]

What? I never knew that either... All the money spent at Mister Mint could have bought me a few more pairs of shoes!

[bunbungirl]

oh my goodness repairing at mister mint is very expensive!!!! u can get repairs done at CK for free but have to wait a few days.. but they do it regardless of how oldy our shoes are

That's a good piece of news! Thks Bunbun girl.

must share must share. ive been saving $ this way for some time...

[candie]

wow ~ that is a good piece of news - i always get my shoes repaired at mister mint too could've saved quite a lot of money ... never knew about this!

[bunbungirl]

heels from Ck costs 39.90 maximum. repairs at mister mint = $6.00. i repair them twice a month... so in other words if i use mister mint i would have incurred the cost of a pair of shoes in just 3 months il be so broke!!!!

[candie]

yah mister mint is really pricey - a lot of times if the shoe is more than six months old and damaged I would prefer to toss it out and buy a new pair ! but this is really good info that CK does repairs for free

any other places that do free repairs that you know of bunbungirl?

[hellogirl]

Wow thats really a good news! Thanks bunbungirl.

Btw girls.. don't go to mister mint... i really feel its daylight robbery... i remember checking out the price and was quoted $12! I might as well buy new heels. Recently i found an uncle at Chinatown who only charge $3.

i only buy shoes from Ck as there are not many places that carry designs in size 3
