Just wondering as I got my heels redone mid-may & they're at 'tap dancer' stage already. Starting to think Timpsons is crap too.

I probably wear my heels 2-3 times a week & do about 45mins a day walking (though that doesn't count walking around office). Is every 2 months average or am I just hard on my shoes??

If there tapping is too late!! I can't bare that noise....I always get mine done well before that point....

I am always shocked by how quickly they wear down. I am hard wearing on shoes and try just to wear heels inside now ...

Can you replace them yourself? I think you can buy tips on Amazon,but I dont know how you put them on.

Yeah I usually like to replace before tap dance stage too but often it happens on way to work and so I just have to suck it up until I get home. Hate it tho. I've replaced heel tips before with the spares that come with the heels so don't mind doing that. Might have to look into getting some as it's gonna cost me a fortune otherwise!

Didn't realise wearing heels was an expense in itself! Shows how new I am to this regular heel-wearing game!
