Description
At Baxter & Black, we choose materials that embody craftsmanship and endurance. The Dr Sole Original Whole Heel captures both. Built for resilience and refined performance, it offers excellent traction, shock absorption, and longevity. Because of this, it’s a favourite among restoration specialists and footwear enthusiasts who appreciate quality that lasts. This heel is the height of a full heel, so no need for leather stacking.
Dr. Sole produces every heel in Taiwan with remarkable attention to detail. Their craftsmen mix and mould a signature rubber compound designed for superior grip and durability. Next, they cure each piece slowly to achieve the perfect balance of firmness and flexibility. Then, every batch is inspected by hand to ensure consistency in texture and shape. This meticulous process gives the Dr Sole Heel its strength and reliability, setting it apart from standard rubber heels.
The heel’s lug pattern delivers firm traction on wet or uneven ground while keeping a clean, timeless look. Its shape supports balance and control without unnecessary bulk. As a result, it suits Goodyear-welted and stitch-down shoes beautifully. It also works perfectly for heritage boots, sturdy work shoes, and premium leather footwear that deserve an expert restoration. In addition, it pairs seamlessly with Dr Sole Original Whole Heel to create a cohesive rebuild from heel to toe.
At Baxter & Black, we import Dr. Sole components regularly to maintain the highest standards in our workshop. When a particular size or colour is needed, we order directly from Dr. Sole’s team in Taiwan. This allows us to guarantee fresh, authentic materials every time. Through this partnership, we can offer our clients the same precision, care, and craftsmanship that define Dr. Sole’s reputation worldwide. For those who value strength, tradition, and longevity, the Dr Sole Heel is the ultimate foundation for quality footwear.

Our Method
- We remove the old heel carefully without damaging the midsole.
- Carefully, we clean the heel base of old glue and nails.
- Next we roughen both the midsole and heel base for better grip.
- After this, we apply Renia CDC glue, wait 15 minutes, then clamp the heel firmly.
- Then we trim excess rubber and sand flush.
- Finally, we add nails for extra strength.
