High Heel Place - View Single Post - Heel Tip Replacement Disaster -- Heelp!

I drilled mine out when it happened to me and it worked out fine. It was also Pleasers but 5" Oxfords so I guess the construction is similar. Just try to make "center mark" with a proper tool to avoid the drill from flexing all over and eventually breaking the drill.

Or take them to the cobbler. Heel tips I replace myself but soles and "toe points" I leave to the professionals. I was kinda nervous the first time what the guy should think when he saw the sz 14 stiletto boots but never a comment from him. Now we always have a long chat when I am in there but he haven't yet asked me if they are my boots or if I have a GF with very big feet. *S*

Good luck in your work.
