Goodyear mens Neolite Rubber Heels, Repair Top Lifts- 1 / 4 inch Thick 1pair Shoes, Black, Large

These are very durable rubber heels; however, for professional look and for easy application, proper tools , such as a band saw, a carpet knife, and a sanding tool, would be tremendously helpful. That being said, if you are like me, not willing to invest much money for the tools, and can accept less-than-perfect look of the shoes, a utility knife and some sandpaper will do the job. I have several boots that are sleek and comfortable except for worn out heels, but I don't want to spend $40 on each pair to get the heels replaced, so I decided to give these rubber heels a try. These are fairly high-density rubber pads that will last, and the hardest part turned out to be cutting the right size of pads for my boots. They are for men's shoes, and one piece can hold several heel pads for women's boots--I fit in 4 heels in one piece. Without proper tools, I used a box cutter and cut the heel pads out on a cutting board. This is quite an workout for 4 pairs of heels! Next, I smoothed out the edges of the cutout pads with sandpaper, (tried to) removed the original worn out heel pads from my boots, and sanded the bottom flat with the sandpaper. Removing the original pad is important, not only because without doing so you will get higher heels, but also because worn out heels are not flat and hard to glue well. However, only one pair of my boots came with relatively easy to remove heels; for others, the pads were glued very tightly to the heels, so I gave up and decided to accept 1/4 inch higher heels and use the glue to fill the gap. Nevertheless, I still sanded the surfaces so that they would have better bonding surface. ShoeGoo comes handy to glue them to my boots. Disposable gloves and paper towel are pretty essential for this work. I applied generous amount of glue on both surfaces, and firmly pressed pad to the heel. The glue would come out from the edges, which I removed with paper towel and smoothed the surface with gloves. ShoeGoo will shrink in size when it's hardened, so for the boots I used the glue to fill the gaps, I had to apply more glue 1-3 days later. Final touch with a nail filer is also helpful. Anyway, the boots regained their lives, and as long as people do not specifically look at my heels, no one will notice these are DIY. I am very happy and proud of myself.

Very good quality and thickness. Great traction too. Very happy with my purchase

These heel pads are huge and after cutting down to size are an easy DIY money-saver. Easy cut with a pair of my grandma's sewing scissors after tracing outline. Shoe-goo adhesive applied on both surfaces (boot and pad), and had some left over 1" nails in the garage. Nails could be removed after adhesive dry, but I'll leave them. Sanded down edges with my dremel sanding attachment. Applied some shoe polish. Ready to go. Only issue was price increase caused by bidenflation. We'll take care of that issue in 2024. Recommended for one and all.

Thought I'd give this a try since a simple rubber sole replacement at the cobbler is around $65...very pleased with how easy it all went. Outlined the needed shape, used regular scissors to cut it out, and superglued it on, (per internet recommendations). Looks good, saved a lot of money & hopefully will hold up well.

Very nice product. Arrived quickly and is a nice solid rubber heal. I used this to replace the original heals on my cowboy boots which had worn out over the years. While these were much bigger than the original heal, I used Shoe Goo to attach them to the boots. Once dry, it was easy to cut off the excess with a razor blade knife. They fit well, and feel very comfortable as I walk. I'll be ordering a second set for my other boots!

Heel nails were not included although the description emphasizes that they would be.

This product worked perfectly. Of course, as anyone should know, this boot heel pad has to be cut and honed down to fit. Luckily I had the tools. I then had to glue it to the bottom of the boot heel using shoe glue. I am not sure what a boot repair place would charge to do this, but it was easy for me to do it myself and save.

Bought several times they last me about 9 months as my feet pronate There is no cobbler near me so these are a great alternative and much more affordable
