ohhh. i SO just had the worst experience with my shoe repair place. i've always taken them to the same guy and never had a problem but someone else was in there the other day. all i wanted was the elastic replaced on the strap coz it had stretched. and it needed resoling. simple.
i picked my shoes back up ($40 later) took them to work, put them on, 3 steps later, the new elastic snapped and my heel FELL OFF!!

they must have dropped them of something. so i took them off, had a look at them, and where they had resoled the shoes, there were hideous grinding marks all up the shoe! they looked terrible. i took them back, the girl claimed it wasn't her that did them but she organised to fix them free of charge.
i get them back again, elastic seems fine, she's attempted to remove the deep grinding marks but they're definately still there, shes inserted a bolt thing in the heel to keep it there so all looks bearable and i take them back to work, put them on, 2 step later, heel doesn't hold. the retards didn't even glue it in!!!!

you think a small bolt slid into plastic is going to hold a dancers heel in place????
i just don't know what to do. do i bother taking it back there yet again or do i just glue it myself and see how it goes. i have a feeling they're ruined anyway so io spent $40 for nothing coz now i have a pair of ruined shoes and i have to go buy another pair anyway
