Metal Heel ,Higher Now


Recommended Posts


how did you do this

The shoes heel has a male threaded stud coming out of it,I chucked up a 3/8 inch bolt in my drill press and cut it down,then taped the big end to screw onto the shoe.Ya don't see many shoes with this style heel anymore.Also this was the hard way to do it,The brass is allot easier to work with,She since has wore out the shoes and I keep the metal heels

The heel on the black shoes is "kicking out" quite badly. You need to take about a bit off the bottom or you will break the heel or the shoe.

say do you know where to order metal heels? Or where you can find manufacturers who can produce some?

If the heel will screw out as described, you might be able to find a machinist buddy to make you a set. I personally have never seen anyone wear metal heel tips. Hec, anything over 4" in my neck of the woods is considered pushing it, even for the female population.
