Heel Plates, Metal Shoe Heel Taps Tips, 4 PCS Shoe Repair Replacement Pads with Nails for Worn Heels, Heavy Duty Anti-Wear Heel Protectors for Boots, Work Shoes and Dress Shoes

My husband fixed his boots with these heel plates. Very happy customer and great repair. Easy to put them in ans size is perfect for any size boots. Great price for the items.

Good product.. a little big for my needs but I was able to grind them down to fit my boots

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Decent plates for the heels of my boots, but one plate feel off on day 18, the heads of the screws grind off, then the plates will come off. I don't know if there is a glue that will work. They should include a 100 pack of extra screws, or at least a link for replacements. I don't see how they could re design the product. A thicker plate would be able to protect the screw heads, but I don't know if I want thicker plates on my heels, but it might be worth a try. RECOMMENDATIONS; 1, My boots were worn slightly on the bottom of heels, so if yours are worn, be sure to bend the ends just a tiny bit to conform to the radius of the worn edges, I was able to do this with two pairs of pliers, the material is fairly soft. 2. In my case when the heads wore down and plate fell off, the remainder of the screws were visible and could be twisted slightly out with my micro angled snips, then I was able to get my forceps on them and easily spin them out a bit, then put plate back over broken screws and finish backing out one at a time and replacing it with a new screw so i'd be sure to use the same holes..... hope this makes sense when yours need replacing. I'm not knocking this down to 1 star in hopes that the seller will link me to replacement screws, and or the exact Glue that will work, not just a reply with some bs like; ''use an epoxy'' I want/need to know which glue 'exactly' will definitely work. ---- Amazon should give us a larger window for writing our reviews, it is tedious to scroll up and down while writing and editing our comments, making it easy to miss mistakes.

I bought these hoping they would extend the life of some expensive walking shoes. They lasted less than a week -- after 15 miles of walking, the metal was ground down so much that the nail heads couldn't hold the plate anymore. While that might suggest a problem with the nails specifically, the metal plates were in pretty bad shape considering they were new. I'd have expected METAL to last a good 50 miles of walking before falling apart! I am guessing these were just imagined to be for tap-dance purposes, and no durability was considered in the choice of such soft material.

The metal seems okay, I haven't had them long enough to tell but it seems quality. But it comes with screws instead of nails and I'm super bummed out about it. I can just imagine trying to get the screws out after the heads wear down to nothing.

Great

As I walk I scuff both outside heels. These allowed me to get longer usage out of my work boots, saving me money.

The screws that came with it were weak and either striped the heads out or completely broke off in the shoe even with pre-drilling the holes. The plates themselves were ok. Nothing special. They didn't take long before the were showing a lot of wear and even bending.
