How to repair the heel of your moccasins?
With regular use, it's common for the heels of your moccasins to wear out, making walking less comfortable and compromising the shoe's stability. Rather than replacing your moccasins, a simple heel or toe repair can save you money and extend the life of your shoes.
At TILLI, our shoemakers specialize in this type of repair. Using quality materials and craftsmanship, we ensure long-lasting repairs. What's more, you can take advantage of the Repair Bonus to reduce the cost of maintaining your moccasins. For example, a classic bonbout repair costing €22 can be reduced to €16 after the bonus has been applied.
In this article, we explain why it's important to repair the heels of your moccasins, what a heel change entails, and why calling on our craftsmen is a wise choice.
Why repair the heels on your moccasins?
It's not uncommon for moccasin heels to wear out, especially if you wear them regularly. But why is it important to repair them, rather than letting the shoe continue to deteriorate?
When moccasin heels wear out, walking comfort is immediately affected. You may experience an imbalance or instability that makes walking uncomfortable or even risky. Heel repair allows you to walk comfortably and safely again.
What's more, having the heels and toe caps of your moccasins repaired is a cost-effective solution that extends the life of your shoes. It also helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your moccasins, while avoiding the need to buy a new pair.
Last but not least, repairing your shoes enables you to benefit from the Repair Bonus, a financial aid scheme set up to encourage maintenance rather than replacement. Heel and toe repairs are eligible for this bonus, giving you discounts ranging from €6 to €25. For example, a heel repair costing €22 can be reduced to €16 after application of the Repair Bonus.
What is the Bonbout, why is it essential and why should it be changed?
The toe cap is the small part under the heel, in direct contact with the ground. It's usually made of rubber or plastic, and wears out much faster than the rest of the shoe. If you notice your moccasins slipping or making noise as you walk, it's likely that the toe cap is worn.
A worn toe cap becomes slick and no longer provides the necessary grip, which can lead to slipping on smooth or wet surfaces. Replacing the toe cap restores this grip, ensuring safe walking. When the heel cap is too worn, it exposes the rest of the heel to premature wear. If you continue to wear your moccasins in this condition, you risk having to replace the entire heel, a more costly repair. By changing the heel cap at the first sign of wear, you protect the heel and avoid more costly repairs. A heel cup in good condition guarantees optimum stability and walking comfort. By replacing them, your moccasins will regain their original strength and comfort.
How does TILLI repair the heels and toes of your moccasins?
At TILLI, our craftsmen take care of every detail to bring your moccasins back to life. The process of heel repair and toe replacement is simple yet effective, and we guarantee a lasting repair.
Our craftsmen begin by examining your moccasins and assessing the overall condition of the heels and toe caps. They then decide whether a simple toe cap replacement is sufficient, or whether a more in-depth intervention is required, such as replacing the toe caps.
The worn heel cap is carefully removed so as not to damage the heel or the structure of the shoe. A new toe cap is then fitted using high-quality materials, guaranteeing durability and grip. This replacement restores comfort and extends the life of your moccasins.
Once the new toe cap has been fitted, our craftsmen proceed with the finishing touches, polishing the heels and adjusting the shape for a clean, neat result. This ensures that the repair is in harmony with the rest of the shoe.
