Heel Cover Replacements

Re-Wrapping Heel Covers?

A question we’re often asked by our clients is whether scuffed shoe heels can be re-wrapped with leather. This is typically in reference to a pair of stiletto, block or high heels.
 

Heelpiece Re-covering & Repair

 

For shoe-makers or repairers the correct term for “heel wrappings” are heel covers. Heel covers are pieces of leather that wrap around the plastic heelpieces attached to the upper parts of the shoes. .

When leather heel coverings become worn or scuffed the underlying plastic heelpieces will often be exposed. To fix scuffed heel covers our shoe repairers or cobblers will often perform a heel re-covering procedure on the heelpieces.

This involves removing the original heelpieces and recrafting new heel covers from matching leather. The scuffed heel covers are removed and the new leather is reglued to the heelpieces before being reattached to the upper parts of the shoes.
