Why and how to change the worn toe caps on your pumps?
Frequent use of your heels puts a strain on their toe cap. This essential little part in direct contact with the ground provides both stability and finish to the heel. When worn, it can not only alter the appearance of your shoes, but also compromise comfort and safety. Fortunately, heel replacement is a simple repair that will give your pumps a perfect look and a second life, while extending their useful life.
At TILLI, our skilled craftsmen will take care of the repair for you, so you can benefit from the Bonus Réparation.

It's the ideal opportunity to have your shoes repaired in an economical and sustainable way.
Why is the bonbout essential for your pumps?
The toe cap is a discreet but essential component of the heel of a pump. Placed at the end of the heel, it plays a crucial role in supporting weight and ensuring a good grip on the ground. With time and natural wear, the heel cap can become thin or even detached, revealing the structure of the heel. This deterioration can lead to imbalances, annoying noises when walking and, in some cases, damage to the heel itself.
Replacing the heel cap is more than just an aesthetic adjustment. It also ensures a stable gait and prevents further damage that could render your pumps irretrievable. This operation is therefore essential to preserve the comfort, safety and appearance of your shoes.
How do you change the toe cap on your pumps?
Changing a bonbout requires precision and a mastery of shoemaking techniques. Our specialized craftsmen carry out each step with care to guarantee impeccable, long-lasting results.
The first step is to remove the worn toe cap without damaging the heel structure. Once the old toe cap has been removed, the heel is prepared for the new one. The choice of toe cap is crucial: it must be perfectly adapted to the diameter and shape of the heel to guarantee a solid hold and impeccable aesthetics. Craftsmen use high-quality, wear-resistant materials to ensure that the repair is durable. The toe cap is then fixed with precision, ensuring that it is perfectly aligned with the heel to guarantee stable support.
Finally, a meticulous finish is applied so that the repair is invisible and your pumps look as good as new. This process, though technical, is quick and easy for an experienced professional, enabling you to get your shoes back in perfect condition as quickly as possible.
