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

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.

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.

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.

Someone wrote these only lasted 6 months then they took their shoes to a cobbler. I don't walk heal to toe. Pretty much walk flat. If these last 6 months I'll be happy with it. The 1/4" are just about right, 3/8" would be a little better. I am lowering the heels on my cowboy boots myself and these caps (risers) are the ticket. If they last 6 months that's ok with me. I'll simply order another pair....

Heel nails were not included although the description emphasizes that they would be.

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.

Very nice product. Arrived quickly and is a nice solid rubber heal. I used this to replace the original heals on my cowboy boots which had worn out over the years. While these were much bigger than the original heal, I used Shoe Goo to attach them to the boots. Once dry, it was easy to cut off the excess with a razor blade knife. They fit well, and feel very comfortable as I walk. I'll be ordering a second set for my other boots!

These were advertised at 13/14 size, and apparently my cowboy boots must be a bit bigger, because the heel was a little short. I still used them and they glued on great with ShoeGoo. Not too hard of rubber, and was able to trim a little off the side with a box cutter. Will update (IF I remember) once I've worn it for a while as far as how long they last. Definitely worked well so far and will consider (depending on long term wear) buying again. Update-They lasted about 6 months on daily wear, then I took my boots in for some better soles with a pro repair job.

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.
