I just bought a pair of Roger Vivier (Paris designer) Italian-made all leather flats. These cute little shoes sell for $475 new and look like this with an oversized "Pilgrim" buckle
The shoes that I bought were missing the buckles, so I was able to buy them for next to nothing. What an opportunity to beat up on a classy little pair of shoes!
I plan to rip off the leather pads where the buckles were attached and give them some severe abuse. Will keep you updated - with pictures.
Hey Pumpjob...great to see you back on the forum. I am not normally a huge fan of flats, but you're right...these really are cute. Looking forward to seeing what you do to them! have FUN!

Nice flats
Its great to be back! - By the way, shoo-bay, what ever happened to those delicious pink aldo pumps that you left outside last winter?
Now, as for my lastest little victims! I agree with shoo-bay - my taste usually runs to pointy toe stilleto pumps, but when I saw these cute little flats I couldn't resist them.
The first thing I did to them was to rip off the heels and the leather parts that the buckles were glued to. It left them looking like this:
Squeezing my big fat feet into these poor little size 7.5 flats needed the help of lots of hot soapy water to soften them up and make them slippery and stretchy:

Hi Bitstream - Here are a couple of pix like you requested - Hope you like them!
I have lots of fun in the shower with these poor little flats. They get so nice and squishy and have stretched out so they are now quite comfortable.
Hey PJ
Nice work so far on the flats. They are cute little shoes. As for the pink Aldos, if you haven't already found the recent post, check out my update of the thread. They actually survived surprisingly well. I have a few other pics that I have tried to upload but can't for some reason...maybe the files are too big. I'll keep trying!
Thanks!
