Heel tips for International shoes

[arianiah]

I've looked on the International dance shoes website and looked under their accessories so i know that they make heel tips. I can't find where to buy them though. Anyone know a vendor who sells them. I've tried to compare them with Supadance and Freeds but they don't match up. I have two pairs of flared latins in a 2 1/2 in and 3 in. Really need help if anyone knows someone.

Not sure where you could buy those, but if you need something, you could always just use the suede stars. I know they don't look as nice, but they'll work fine in a pinch.

Thanks for the link for the heel protectors skwiggy. anyone have any idea about the replacement tips?

Sorry, didn't realize that was what you were looking for. Apologies, but I have no idea. If I were looking, I would probably try calling a rep at showtimedanceshoes.com and asking.

I would try worldtone in NY. You can search for them on google. Give them a call and tell them which shoes you have. They should have what you need.

Try an old-fashioned shoe repair shop. I'm in a mid-size midwestern city and the local cobbler charges me $3.50 to custom-make and replace a heel tip.

Agreed, in my city there are a couple of shoe repair shops that specialize in dance and ballroom shoes. You may want to call around and ask. They will know how to replace the tips on your heels and will know what type of materials to use.
