Does anyone have their shoes cobbled with before first wear?

I seem to wear heels down annoyingly quickly. Is there anyone here who brings shoes to be given metal heels prior to first wear? Is that the obvious thing to do?

I do, I also get leather soles covered. Probably sad but shoes last me forever.

Yeah, wise move.

So do you get leather soles upon leather soles or have metal heels put on all? I presume metal is most hard wearing.

Rubbery grippy soles put on top of leather for anti slippage/ longevity. Metal heels do last you can also get longer life plastic ones if you don't want the noise/ want more colour options.

Depends on the shoe's sole, but yes leather gets a thin rubber sole. I once hit the deck whilst wearing a stunning pair of black platforms with leather soles (no time to get them done before the party). Highly Blush
