Goodyearmens Neolite Rubber Heels, Repair Top Lifts- 1 / 4 inch Thick 1pair Shoes, Black, Large

Thought I'd give this a try since a simple rubber sole replacement at the cobbler is around $65...very pleased with how easy it all went. Outlined the needed shape, used regular scissors to cut it out, and superglued it on, (per internet recommendations). Looks good, saved a lot of money & hopefully will hold up well.

This product worked perfectly. Of course, as anyone should know, this boot heel pad has to be cut and honed down to fit. Luckily I had the tools. I then had to glue it to the bottom of the boot heel using shoe glue. I am not sure what a boot repair place would charge to do this, but it was easy for me to do it myself and save.

Tougher than plain rubber heels. Easy to cut with sharp scissors. I attached with rubber cement and nails, and they seem to hold up pretty well. I'd buy them again.

good

The rubber heels must be custom fit, once they are received. You need to have a pair of tin-cutters to cut the heel to size and you also have to have some method sanding the edges. The cobblers use a belt sander, but with a bit of work a hand rasp file will do, it gives a reasonably acceptable finish. You will also have to purchase some contact cement. Apply the cement to both the shoe and the rubber heel surfaces and allow to thoroughly dry before attaching. Lining up the rubber heel to the shoe is very tricky and once you start you cannot change your mind. It is a lot of work but, considering the price that cobblers charge, it is worth the effort and the life of the shoe is extended.

Reel heeled my son's boots as he walks heavy on the heels. Fit a size 14 cowboy boot with room to trim off. These laster quite a while. Easy to trim, easy to install with rubber cement and nails. They were a little thinner than I expected, but are a great value for the money.

Showed up without any packaging other than the envelope used for shipping. Color is not as "black" as the previous shoes heel. Description states that nails for attachment ARE included but they were not. Should also note that they will require cutting to fit appropriately but I suppose that's to be expected.

These are very durable rubber heels; however, for professional look and for easy application, proper tools , such as a band saw, a carpet knife, and a sanding tool, would be tremendously helpful. That being said, if you are like me, not willing to invest much money for the tools, and can accept less-than-perfect look of the shoes, a utility knife and some sandpaper will do the job.I have several boots that are sleek and comfortable except for worn out heels, but I don't want to spend $40 on each pair to get the heels replaced, so I decided to give these rubber heels a try.These are fairly high-density rubber pads that will last, and the hardest part turned out to be cutting the right size of pads for my boots. They are for men's shoes, and one piece can hold several heel pads for women's boots--I fit in 4 heels in one piece. Without proper tools, I used a box cutter and cut the heel pads out on a cutting board. This is quite an workout for 4 pairs of heels!Next, I smoothed out the edges of the cutout pads with sandpaper, (tried to) removed the original worn out heel pads from my boots, and sanded the bottom flat with the sandpaper. Removing the original pad is important, not only because without doing so you will get higher heels, but also because worn out heels are not flat and hard to glue well. However, only one pair of my boots came with relatively easy to remove heels; for others, the pads were glued very tightly to the heels, so I gave up and decided to accept 1/4 inch higher heels and use the glue to fill the gap. Nevertheless, I still sanded the surfaces so that they would have better bonding surface.ShoeGoo comes handy to glue them to my boots. Disposable gloves and paper towel are pretty essential for this work. I applied generous amount of glue on both surfaces, and firmly pressed pad to the heel. The glue would come out from the edges, which I removed with paper towel and smoothed the surface with gloves. ShoeGoo will shrink in size when it's hardened, so for the boots I used the glue to fill the gaps, I had to apply more glue 1-3 days later. Final touch with a nail filer is also helpful. Anyway, the boots regained their lives, and as long as people do not specifically look at my heels, no one will notice these are DIY. I am very happy and proud of myself.
