shoeisland Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just wanted to know how the rest of you deal with Dorothy Perkins stiletto heels that are overworn. They are a nightmare. The sleeve is so narrow and shatters under any pressure. Please feel free to share you're tips and advice. Thanks Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 always while you wait with a worn down heel blocking the tube. none of my tools fit the tubes without adapting them and i dont like drilling because the drill bit is exactly the same size. i hate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 you could try sending the customer to a shoe repairer? if the drill bits your using are the same size as the tube you using the wrong size of bit! carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Haha, I find the bit I use (7/16") snaps very easily and would expect thinner ones to be even worse. I normally have to scour my stiletto punches a little to get in the hole which weakens those too. What tool do you have to do them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
