I recently purchased a pair of the fringed sandals at the Feet World in Culver City and within wearing them a few times the front of the soles were scratched and frayed, exposing the light tan material under the brown pleather.  I'm very disappointed and embarrassed by how raggedy the front look I can't wear them anymore.  I need to know if there's anyway to repair the front?  I have yet to check with a cobbler but I can't believe how badly they are made for around $80!!!
