How do you repair or replace the heels on your dress shoes?

Why repair or replace the heel of your dress shoes?

The heels of dress shoes, especially those on men's and women's shoes with rigid soles, are under constant pressure and eventually wear out. Here are some good reasons to have your heels repaired or replaced:
- Prolong the life of your shoes:Wear and tear on the heel, if not repaired, can quickly affect the whole shoe. Replacing the heel in time preserves the rest of the shoe and prevents more costly deterioration.
- Improve comfort: A worn heel can affect your posture and cause foot or back pain. Repairing or replacing the heel not only improves the appearance of your shoes, but also your everyday comfort.
- Save money with the Repair Bonus: Thanks to the Repair Bonus, you can benefit from discounts on certain repairs such as toe cap changes or complete heel replacements. For example, at TILLI, a toe cap change is reduced from €24 to €17, while a full heel replacement is reduced from €65 to €57.

Types of repairs for city shoe heels at TILLI

Our Shoemakers at TILLI offer several types of repair for the heels of your town shoes, depending on the state of wear and the type of heel.

Changing the heel cap
The heel cap is the lower part of the heel, often made of rubber or leather, which is in direct contact with the ground. This is usually the first part of the heel to wear out. Our Makers replace this section discreetly and solidly, taking care to choose a quality material that matches the original structure of your shoe.
Example: For a pair of leather dress shoes, the toe cap can be changed quickly and cheaply thanks to the Repair Bonus. You'll pay €17 instead of €24, a great way to extend the life of your shoes.

Complete heel replacement
When the heel is badly worn or damaged, a complete replacement may be necessary. This involves removing the entire heel and replacing it with a new one, perfectly adapted to the structure of the shoe. Our Shoemakers take care to respect the original height and style of your shoes, so that they remain comfortable and attractive.
Example: For a city shoe, the complete replacement of a worn heel generally costs €65. Thanks to the Repair Bonus, you'll benefit from a discount and pay just €57 for this service.
