Questions & Answers
Due to the lack of adhesive on these heel plates, installation is more difficult.
The heads of the nails were too long to fit into the holes in the tap, so I tossed them out. They will scratch the floor if they are not recessed. I used nails that I had purchased specifically for this project.
Boots for women can be worn as well.
The plates include nails. I'm not sure if they're available individually.

The material is well-made and flexible. The task of composition appears to be difficult. There is only one thing that concerns me. The letter "K" is embossed along with high-resolution images in a magnified view of the product. Ridges that are still standing. Only a thin ridge runs along the outside edge of the tap, which will take the brunt of the force when walking. And. When that wears out (leaving most of the tap's body untouched), you're back to square one. Why is this company so obsessed with placing the letter exactly where the tap's body and main material should be? br>I sincerely hope I am mistaken; however, only time will tell. br>As a side note. I have a super-powerful computer that I use every day. For added strength, use a glue-like adhesive in addition to the nails. It really works. Tip: I recommend "Shoe Fix Glue," which is also available on Amazon (just do a search). Read my comments on the product there as well; it is the true super glue that all others should be!.
I've had previous plates from Amazon that were thinner and had an adhesive backing, and they lasted for months. He said that particular brand no longer sells it, so I figured I'd give this one a shot because it was less expensive. What an embarrassment! The pads are much thicker and more brittle than I expected. I used 3M weatherstrip adhesive, which was recommended by someone on YouTube and worked perfectly on his Sandals. They were also effective as a plate adhesive. One of the plates cracked in half and wore away after a few days of wearing it. After a day, the other was completely gone. Given the cost of returning, it is not worthwhile. I strongly advise you to save your time and money and avoid this.
I was extremely disappointed. I had previously purchased heel plates from Amazon and had been extremely pleased with their installation and overall wear. The plates I recently purchased were all injection molded hard plastic and came on three "spru's" that I had to cut apart with a pair of scissors for each of the heal plates. The 'nails' were actually carpet tacks with a relatively thick diameter and a difficult time driving into the heels. br>br>The previous set I bought was already separated and had an adhesive backing that allowed it to be attached to the heel before driving the nail through the plate and into the heel. Perhaps these are acceptable for a professional cobbler, but mounting all four nails into the heel was extremely difficult due to the bore of the thick nail/carpet tack and the lack of a centering hole in the indentation of the plate to drive the nail into the heel. br>br>However, I had no idea there was a better heel plate product than the first set I bought, which was significantly easier to install. I'm returning the adhesive-backed, flexible plates and ordering new ones with thinner mounting nails. br>I'm in a lot of pain!.
These are what I use on my Merrill hiking shoes to prevent premature heel wear and thus extend their life. They've stayed put with superglue for at least ten years and haven't come loose or worn out. Twelve hikes of ten miles each. Others lasted about six hikes before they needed to be replaced. Only glue is used instead of nails. It takes about 5 minutes to attach them, and they're ready to wear in no time. I don't wear these shoes inside, but I don't think they'll scratch or mark hardwood floors. And you're going to get a lot of them. Excellent value for money. I'll keep using them on my hiking boots and would recommend them to anyone.
Because these taps are made of a thick rubbery pliable material, they snag more easily than thinner taps. br>Because the nails aren't the right size and there's no adhesive backing, they're more easily snagged. br>For the price, I'm sure I can make them work with some double-sided tape and stronger nails. If at all possible, I'll stay away from them in the future.
I bought these heal plates to help my right running shoe's heals last longer. I made use of Boot- Apply glue to the heal of my right running shoe to keep them in place. Because the provided nails would damage the shoe's cushioning, I did not use them to attach the plates to it. They did a good job and should extend the life of my shoes by another month or two.
While this is a good product, you should be aware that you will need to use the nails that come with it or purchase stainless steel nails from Home Depot or Loews. There is no such thing as self-adhesion; While the lack of adhesive on these heel savers would have been preferable in my case, I don't mind because I always use nails to keep this device in place.
The nail's head is too large to fit through the taps' small holes. As a result, the nail head rubs against the ground, producing a metallic clacking noise. It also keeps the nail from digging too far into the skin. After only a few uses, one of the nails fell out. Nails are also extremely inexpensive and have flaws. The faucets aren't bad in and of themselves. I'm going to have to go out and get some smaller head nails right now.
