If a heel pin has been worn down too much it may not be removed with a pair of pincers, then it can either be drilled out with an extra strong drill bit or the tube surrounding it filed down to enable the pin to be got at....best left to a shoe repairer. Hope this helps |
I was just going to second Shoeman's suggestion. Any time it becomes obvious that you are not going to make the repair without extraordinary force - maybe it's time to take them to your local cobbler. Better that he should break a heel than you.
