Sugary-sweet icing exploding over the edge of cupcakes is indeed most appetizing; Flesh being squeezed over of the top of boots is not. Neither is a skinny stick of a leg swimming in what seems like an ocean of hard leather. Our point? It is hard (very hard) to find a pair of perfectly-fitting boots - especially the season's must have over-the-knee (OTK) styles.
When all of those OTK boots paraded down the runways last season, we died (in a very good, Rachel Zoe sort of way). This year, while searching for the perfect pair of them among the vast sea of shoes available, we wanted to kill ourselves.
But suicide is never a good option - especially when there are places like Leather Spa around.
Leather Spa, formerly known as Shoe Service Plus, is the designated establishment for customization and repair for notable luxury stores and brands such as Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Gucci, Bergdorf Goodman Women, Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Fendi and Salvatore Ferragamo. They consistently deliver unparalleled quality and service to New York's most demanding clientele.
The experts at Leather Spa understand the desire for exceptional fit and are able to either stretch or slim down the shaft of any pair of boots to perfect fit your leg.
They can also re-sole a pair of Christian Louboutin almost better than the master himself. Heel repair, protective sole application, cleaning, reconditioning and more, you can trust Leather Spa to restore and preserve your most favored pairs.
For OTK boots, we recommend you visit the store and let their experts examine and discuss the best options for your pair depending upon the style's shape, detailing and materials.
With most things, you pay for what you get - and what you get at Leather Spa is pretty exceptional so be prepared - although we feel that if you're planning on shelling out over $1,000 for a pair of OTK boots, you might as well pay a bit more to guarantee they fit perfectly and therefore look like a million.
