You are ordering:

1 x PAIR of Leicester 9/16" 14mm 115 pin BLACK / METAL

STILETTO HIGH HEEL SHOE TOPS /TIPS

we only supply metal tops as the plastic heels simply don't last long enough to be a quality solution/ repair.

Pin 115 is a shoe repair trade term which refers to the thickness of the actual pin in inches which is driven into the heel. The two most common pin sizes are 120 and 115. As can be seen from the photos they are not consistent and/or precise measurements nor are the dimensions of the metal tubes which run down the centre of your shoe heel.

To ensure your heels tops will fit properly, we include some cobbler trade wooden pegs and a pair of flexi-tubes (metal/steel liners) to ensure a tight fit. These the professional proper cobbler trade materials/ items. These are used as spacers to adjust the fit should there be any looseness.

Directions:

It is important that there is a neat/tight fit.

  1. In most cases, simply remove the old heel tops with a pliers and firmly tap the new ones home with a small hammer.
  2. If the old pins are difficult to remove, they may need to be drilled out or filed flush and hammered up the heel using the new pin as a punch.
  3. One may find that the fitting is loose. If this is the case, flexi-tubes / spacers or pegs will be needed to ensure a tight fit (included).
  4. If the heel is threaded, whilst it is possible to find replacement tops, it isn't easy and most cobblers either r:
  • after removing the old tops/tips by screwing them anti-clockwise, check the fit of the new heel top. The heel thread may need to be drilled out.
  • tap in wooden pegs (whilst wet with superglue to set) then drill them out with a drill that is a good bit thinner than the heel tops to the size required for a tight fit.
  • If the old pins are difficult to extract, they will have to be drilled out and either flexi-tubes or wooden pins or both may be required.
