Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Thank you so much for the reply! Fortunately, the shoe repair shop was able to attach a new strap to her shoe so it's all fixed up now. As I said before, she will be getting new shoes in three weeks when we are in Iowa. I am going to keep your contact info handy in case we have this problem again! Thanks again, Jen & Livie Re: Strap Broke Dear Jen, Please call my office at or e-mail me at: info@... and I can arrange to send you a replacement strap or straps. Jay Markell Markell Shoe Co.
