How much are high-quality high heels
nowadays? Bacio Rivo Heels cost around $70 retail, while El Naturalista Colibri
heeled boots cost $200. These are definitely superior brands that offer shoes
made of premium materials—pairs that are designed to last a long time. But with
regular use coupled with the wear-and-tear caused by the environment, your
branded high heels will eventually need repairs, too. Should you just throw
your shoes out and buy new ones? Are high heel repairs really worth the expense?
Do the math
To figure out if it’s more practical
to buy new shoes or take your favorite heels to a repair shop, compare the cost
of buying a new pair with the cost of getting them replaced. Which option would
help you save more money? High heels can be as cheap as $50 or as expensive as $500
and upwards depending on the brand. High
heel repair services certainly make sense for more
expensive shoes. In general, repairing makes sense if it will cost less than half
the price of new shoes.
Type of repair
It’s also important to consider the
type of repair that will be done on your shoes. Rubber sole, heel, elastic and
buckle, elastic and strap, heel lining, or patch and reline are fairly easy to
do. Simply go to a reputable cobbler and get your high heels repaired. But if
your high heels are too worn out—for example, if the leather is already scuffed
to pieces—then it’s probably best to buy a new pair.
Some people attempt to save money by replacing
their heels themselves, especially now that there are a lot of tutorial videos
online about DIY heel replacement. But if you are not confident about your shoe
repair capabilities or do not have the right equipment, it is best to let
experts handle your high heel repair. A typical job will only cost $25.
