One of the first items that Baxter & Black started importing was stiletto metal heel tips. Metal heel tips are common in Europe as they are the only heel tips that can withstand walking on cobblestones for long periods of time. They also make the click, clack sound when you walk.
Stiletto metal heel tips look similar to normal heel tips, but keep their shape and last for years. Importantly, they must not be worn on wooden floorboards. With this in mind, they are perfect for a workplace or home with carpet or concrete flooring.
Our process

- Finally, we lightly hammer it into place until it sits flush with the top of the heel block.

The Baxter & Black difference…
Other shoe repairers use mass-produced plastic heel tips that are designed to only last a few wears. This means constantly having to come back to get them replaced. The original heel tip on shoes are also usually of a lower standard and do not last long. Baxter & Black sources the highest quality plastic and metal heel tips that will last much, much longer than generic heel tips.
