Another option for repairing worn heel tips is Quick Tips. It's a temporary cap that goes over the worn tip and protects your heels and floors. It's good for when you're short on time and need a quick fix. This way, you can continue wearing your shoes (without destroying them) until you find time to get to your local shoe repair shop.

Hi there! I wear high heels to work everyday, so they're a big part of my life.
Unable to remove old heel tip
in Shoe repair and modifications
Posted
When I used to try to repair my own tips, I spent hours trying to get the old tip out. And I usually ended up with sore forearms/hands and being able to remove the old tip from only 1 shoe! I never tried drilling it out though. Here's a trick I heard about to get the old nail out: Grab the nail with pliers while the shoe is sitting upright (so the shoe is balancing on the pliers). Then, tap the plier jaws with a hammer. The nail should slip out. If you're looking for a quick fix for your worn heel tips, check out Quick Tips (gogoheel.com). They have a temporary heel tip that goes over your worn one, and best of all, you don't need any tools. It's a good solution so you can wear your heels without damaging it until you get to a shoe repair shop.
