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

These were advertised at 13/14 size, and apparently my cowboy boots must be a bit bigger, because the heel was a little short. I still used them and they glued on great with ShoeGoo. Not too hard of rubber, and was able to trim a little off the side with a box cutter. Will update (IF I remember) once I've worn it for a while as far as how long they last. Definitely worked well so far and will consider (depending on long term wear) buying again. Update-They lasted about 6 months on daily wear, then I took my boots in for some better soles with a pro repair job.

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.

They look thicker than 1/4" but they worked. I used them to quiet down a pair of mules I ordered for myself. Since these are men's heels they were considerably larger than the flat heels of my sandals. Used a pair of heavy-duty shears to trim off what I could, glued them on then filed the rubber smooth to conform to my heel. Filing/grinding was a mess, black rubber dust everywhere; wear a mask. So far the heels are staying in place and have made my mules quite. Only wish Goodyear made them in women's sizes.

Someone wrote these only lasted 6 months then they took their shoes to a cobbler. I don't walk heal to toe. Pretty much walk flat. If these last 6 months I'll be happy with it. The 1/4" are just about right, 3/8" would be a little better. I am lowering the heels on my cowboy boots myself and these caps (risers) are the ticket. If they last 6 months that's ok with me. I'll simply order another pair....

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

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.

I've seen my shoe repair person use these heel replacements. I had a pair of shoes which I paid $40 for. The shoe repair person wanted $35 to replace the heels. totally understand that, but for what I paid, I was about to just toss the shoes. I figured, why not try the heels and glue myself. worked like a charm. The heels are about 1/4 inch thick so I had to trim some from the base of the heel of the shoe before applying the heel (otherwise I'd have "high heels" :-) ). read other reviews and found "Shoe Goo" and ordered. It's rubber cement. duh!.. I smelled that before in the shoe shop. so... trim the heel for the matching thickness the heel will add, apply "Shoe Goo", secure overnight with a clamp to keep heel tight to shoe, put on safety gloves and glasses (just to be safe) and use a carpet knife (razor knife) and trim excess off. now here's the professional part... if you have a dremmel tool, use the sandpaper rotational tool on medium (or slow) and clean up the hand trim to make a nice smooth edge on the heel. Whala! just like the shoe guy. took 15-20 min per heel, then overnight, then 10 min dremel tool work and its' super nice. saved the shoes (which were worth much more then $40) and made me proud of my work. hope this helps others feel like they can take this challenge (small project) on themselves. Good luck to all that try! it's not hard... really!

Only 1/4" thick. Could have tolerated that, but nowhere big enough for my heels.

I repair shoes all the time, and when I put this order in I specifically ordered this item because it was a pak of 10 pr for $29, not $29 for 2 pr only, total rip off, The only reason I ordered them online is that I thought it would save me a 2 hour trip to get my regular supples. my regular supply cost $26 for 12 pr.
