I've had a great pair of boots for about a year that I love and that fit me perfectly. I found them at a thrift store and when I tried them on, I guess I was on carpeting, because there's no way I would have missed the clack-clack-clack sound the heels make when walking on a hard surface. The heel is less than an inch and kind of clunky, and I think it must be hollow.
Could a shoe repair person help with this & if so, what would you expect the cost might be?
