Leather Arch Cushion ()

I repair shoes all the time, and when I put this order in I specifically ordered this item because it was a pak of 10 pr for $29, not $29 for 2 pr only, total rip off, The only reason I ordered them online is that I thought it would save me a 2 hour trip to get my regular supples. my regular supply cost $26 for 12 pr.

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.

Very good quality and thickness. Great traction too. Very happy with my purchase

These heel pads are huge and after cutting down to size are an easy DIY money-saver. Easy cut with a pair of my grandma's sewing scissors after tracing outline. Shoe-goo adhesive applied on both surfaces (boot and pad), and had some left over 1" nails in the garage. Nails could be removed after adhesive dry, but I'll leave them. Sanded down edges with my dremel sanding attachment. Applied some shoe polish. Ready to go. Only issue was price increase caused by bidenflation. We'll take care of that issue in 2024. Recommended for one and all.
