Thanks for the replies. I fully agree with supporting independent traders, but I'm afraid Timpsons wins as being the only shoe repairer here with a convenient high street location. Anyway, Timpsons repaired the boots without difficulty, and indeed incredibly quickly. Thanks, R.

I have a pair of stiletto boots (with metal heel tips, FWIW) and one of the tips has come off while wearing them. The pin has sheared flush with the metal tube, and the heel has worn down by a couple of milimetres around it. I'm not really interested in trying to repair it myself; I'm more wondering whether this kind of repair (particularly extracting the sheared pin) is something fairly routine that my local Timpsons would be able to handle fine, or if I need to find a more specialist repairer? Thanks in advance for any advice, R.
