Backhurst Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Have got a pair of ammo boots that are a bit down at heel. The heel leather is worn down to nearly one layer. What is the best way to build up the level.? Peel of down to the next layer and add a new strip or patch up with a slither of angled leather and file till its level with the rest of the heel? Your comments and help will be more than welcome. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 No need to remove the whole of the next layer. I would level the worn section, so you have a flat area to attach a fill, then add a piece of leather, trim round to level up with the rest of the heel & then fit the new top piece as required.

Backhurst Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 StevenB. Did the boots yesterday. Did the heels the way you said. Not 100% perfect, but very happy with the results. Will do it better next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
