He told me to donate the boots! LOL. He said that the heels are a cheap rubber and the spray dye he was thinking of using would likely not help the issue.... </p> <p>These were $150 Naturalizer boots that I barely wore. How disappointing! </p> <p>I will donate and move on... i will keep an eye out for a better pair on end of season sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309630 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 12:38:15 +0000 ANewMindset 2309630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I tried a Sharpie and shoe polish. No dice. Will take to a cobbler and report back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309489 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 17:49:12 +0000 cat2 2309489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the boots are inexpensive, just hit it with a black Sharpie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309487 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 17:45:07 +0000 kkards 2309487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a good shoe repair person (cobbler if they still called that) can/will be able to tell you what the best repair option is. it might be just to take the covering off or it might be to replace the heel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309476 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:37:05 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2309476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a dog chew on the heel of a pair of leather pumps (the heel was not leather), and she took a big chunk out of it.&nbsp; &nbsp;A shoe repair guy at one of those "Heel-Sew-Quik" types of places rebuilt the heel so beautifully, you couldn't even tell it was a repair, and I think it cost me $20.&nbsp; &nbsp;Totally worth it.&nbsp; &nbsp;I wore those pumps until they fell to bits.</p> <p>This was 13-14 years ago, so I don't know what pricing is now.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309454 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 12:47:39 +0000 Anonymous 2309454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I haven't had whole heels replaced, but cobblers are in very short supply here. It looks like the damage is right above the heel though, so you could hit it with shoe polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309442 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 10:29:03 +0000 Star (Lise) 2309442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Driving can definitely cause heel damage in one spot.&nbsp; I had a boss years ago who kept one inexpensive pull on flat shoe in the car to use on the foot that always wore out.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have never replaced an entire heel.&nbsp; I would ask a good cobbler and weigh up if the cost is worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309424 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 05:13:43 +0000 Lisa Clark 2309424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a bummer to hear that the texture of your boots had worn off. I understand how important quality is when it comes to footwear. It is possible to have an entire heel replaced. Many shoe repair shops offer this service and specialize in customizing shoes, so that they can match the original design. It's a great idea to take your shoes to a professional for the replacement, as they will be able to provide you with quality workmanship and ensure that the new heel is securely fitted.</p> &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309378 Mon, 20 Feb 2023 23:55:03 +0000 Nomad 2309378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had a heel fully replaced but I have had the heel wrapping replaced when I accidentally hit it against something and tore a hole in the back. It looks as good as new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cheap-heels-on-leather-boots-worth-it-to-replace#post-2309377 Mon, 20 Feb 2023 23:39:06 +0000 ANewMindset 2309377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi fabbers,<br /> I've been reviewing my entire wardrobe lately, and came across a pair of tall leather boots in great condition. I never wear them.. because the heel is some sort of cheap, fake texture that has worn off, i think from how i position my foot when driving. Ridiculous! Here's a photo of how its worn. No wear anywhere else!<br /> Has anyone ever had an entire heel replaced? Is that a thing?<br /> Thanks! </p>
