brake blocks Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Today i chose these XTI footwear shoe boots to do some running around in, with a platform of 1/2 inch 1.5 cm and a 3.5 inch, 9 cm heel, that has been worn down to the nail this sounds nice walking on the pavement, it is now time for a visit to the repair shop. A very comfortable shoe to wear Nobody noticed the heels, no funny looks or comments and to drive in as well.
Shafted Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Just beware that if you continue walking with an exposed toplift pin, you will eventually ruin the heel. The pin will get driven up into the heel block, and then they're trash. Shafted, the boots that is!

Shafted Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 If you like the sound, go for metal. Shafted, the boots that is!

Heelwearer24 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Metal, just had my Pleaser 20 with 5 inch heel done with metal, they feel and sound great Opps hit return before I had finished. Metal also last a lot longer but be careful in shopping centres they can be very slippery
krazykev64 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 i brought a brand new pair of pleaser stiletto sandals to do a 10 mile charity walk. the first thing i done was have the tips changed for steel knowing the nylon tips would probably wear out within 5 miles as im 15 stone (210lbs) in weight. after walking 10 miles with the steel tips they had hardly any wear at all. i also used them again for another charity walk where i walked around another 4 or 5 miles and they still have lots of metal on them. depending on how you walk in steel tipped stiletto heels i see no reason why you cannot exceed 50 miles before having to fit new tips again
