Good quality heels and they do a great job
Good quality rubber that has a nice textured grip on the underside to provide a professional looking finish.The adhesive provided is very strong too.The key to success with these heels is preparation.Make sure you catch the repair before the heel of your shoe wears down below the original rubber, while the lift beneath the rubber is still unworn.As long as the existing rubber is carefully removed and the surface properly cleaned down and sanded to provide a flat, keyed base for the application of the new rubber, these will give a great result.I recommend cutting the new heel almost to fit so that there is only a small amount of trimming required after gluing it on. You can do this final trimming carefully with a VERY sharp utility knife, or use something like a multi-tool fitted with a sanding drum to get a neat finish.The adhesive works best if you apply one coat to the shoe, then one coat to the heel and finally a second coat to the shoe, and bring the two surfaces together as soon as the adhesive is no longer wet, but remains slightly tacky - about 5 minutes but not more than 10. Use a flexible spreader and work the glue outwards from the middle to make sure that you get the adhesive right to the very edges of both surfaces.Depending on the material that the lifts are made from, I would recommend finishing with a few short brass pins, just to give extra strength at the front corners and rear edge.Update:Almost 12 months later and I have walked a great many miles with these heels on my most-used pair of shoes, and they are still going strong. I take long walks daily and nearly always use these shoes, and I reckon that in 2-3 months they might need replacing again. They have already lasted at least 4 times as long as the shoes' original heels, and the adhesive has stood fast too. A VERY durable product.

Great way to replace heels at home
When the heel fell off my Ted Baker shoes, I thought these would be consigned to the waste bin. As a last ditch effort, I bought this heel repair kit and after 30 - 45 minutes of effort I’ve got a perfectly wearable set of shoes back. Not as good an end result as having a cobbler but probably £20+ cheaper. It was all straightforward, except cutting the thick rubber to size which even with sharp tools was tricky. All in all, well recommended.

Heel parts are good, but...
.... the adhesive supplied with the heels peeled off both the rubber of the Kabber parts and the composite body of the shoes sole unit. The job was successfully completed with 'UHU Cola Universal' adhesive, used in 'contact' mode. Happy with the result of the workaround.

Good product but be cautious.
Completely acceptable for the purpose ,however ,because they are necessarily oversize to cover all heels they must be cut down after fitting. This requires tools and skill above average.

Just what I wanted ..now on shoes . Easily fixed with instructions.
Nothing to dislike is what it says on the tin as they say.

The hills are 1/4 inch thick, not 3/8 in as another buyer posted in questions.
I have 1/4 inch replacement heels and needed something smaller. I posted a question and someone replied they are 3/8 inches. These are NOT 3/8 inches. They are 1/4 inch thick. Good quality and it's nice they include the glue but make sure you need something that thick. I'm going to have to keep looking for something thiner.
