Better reheel it Sir before it touches the leather. You might go for a Vibram or goodyear heel as they seem wearing down slower than catspaw in my experience, depends also if catspaw is nos or repro and also how u treat them guys outside of course.

I have let my cobbler glued some more gum over my whites heels, holds nicely too for a while

@Finkster

Is it by pure coincidence the horseshoe happens to say "Good Luck"? 

@Cole

I've had these boots for… a bit over a year. I've worn them NOT that often, these are the nicest boots I have right now but I'm slowly building a collection so I can rotate easily.

And within this year, with very minimal wear-time, my heels look pretty much like yours so... I feel your pain.

Interestingly, my right heel also seems to wear down faster too... I am right-legged, I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

Thanks for the tip brother… I'm looking forward to any goodies you may have for sale in the future too.

Will send my pair to Lipper Schusterbub to get the heel replaced.

Finally received them back - I couldn't be happier. Perfect work, the boots have been oiled and they look like new - for a killer price. I'll definitely send my other pairs there too.

But seriously, for 15.5 €?.. That's dirt cheap!..
