Not matching the leather sounds like a cop out to me as well as the high price. As for them slouching, they can easily be reinforced with plastic or stiffer leather.

I just recently bought a full length shiny PU skirt on ebay and am thinking that it will work very nicely for material...it was relatively cheap and I figured it was worth a shot as it looked like it may match....Ill let you know when it arrives.

so the skirt is a little shinier than my shiniest pair of boots (I dont own any patent pairs...just PU) so I think that this might work perfectly....once I have some more $$$ im going to call around again and see what they have to say.

The last thing I would worry about is what a taking your boots into a cobbler’s shop in person. I take my thigh boots in for heel tips and zipper repair and I’m wearing a pair when I do it. Cobblers have seen all kinds of footwear before and, in my experience, they just see it as another job. Before a cobbler could give you a decision on doing the work, they need to see what they are getting into.

Ya Im not too worried about taking them into the cobblers...the financial repurcussions are whats stopping me at this point....I also sort of like this dress, and although ive never had much of a liking or even an interest for them before....but this one is ankle length and looks really nice with my boots.....itll be a shame if I cut it all up....but we'll see
