I found a simple solution which may be of interest to anyone who has a similar problem. My wife has a pair of Delicious (Made in China) Oxfords w/5" stiletto heels. A few days ago, the heeltip on the right shoe simply came loose and fell out. Nothing broken, but when the pin was placed back inside the tube, it was too loose to ever keep the heeltip secured. Problem solved by cutting a piece of paper (not as wide as the pin, but roughly 2X the length of it). I placed the paper over the tube in such manner that when pushing the pin back into it, the paper wedged up alongside 2 sides of the pin. It worked! But, the pin was still a bit loose. Resolved this by finding a magazine with slightly thicker paper on the coversheet and doing it over. The slick, heavy paper as per a magazine cover seemed to work best. Will the solution turn out to be permanent? I don't know yet. If the tube is ruptured, the pin will mostl likely loosen up again. Time will tell.
