Default Metal stiletto heel tips

I have a pair of favourite 3" stiletto heel court shoes which I bought from HayWay Shoes some years ago. I wear these shoes out a lot because they are already scuffed and worn, I have re-soled them with Woolworth's stick-on soles and I have lost count of the number of times I have replaced the heel tips.
In the pre Internet days I used to use a pair of the wife's old shoes, put my worn heel tips in them and take them to the shoe repairers to have new heel tips fitted, then I would take out the new tips when I got home and fit them in my heels. All this palaver just because I didn't want to take a pair of size 11 stiletto court shoes to my local shoe repairer.
Now that the heel tips need replacing again I thought I would look on the Internet for a supplier of heel tips and I found this site in Germany.

REPLACEMENT HEEL TIPS LADIES SHOES TOP LIFT STIFTFLECKEN ABSATZREPARATUR SCHUSTERBEDARF

This company will supply a range of heel tips for ladies shoes if any of you need to replace your heel tips and don't fancy taking them to the local shoe repairer.

Re: Metal stiletto heel tips

Actually, I hope to be in a position to be able to offer heel tips (top pieces), and other shoe-making components to members. I also hope to start offering shoe-making courses too!
