Well here's how to save that pair of shoes, using a ubiquitous boat material: 3M 5200. Just apply a tape dam around the heel and fill the depression with an appropriate color of 5200.
It wears almost as well as the original heel material, and is easy to replace when necessary.
(You probably weren't going to wear these shoes to a wedding anyway, unless of course, it is the kind of wedding where socks are optional)

I have a better idea. I apply the 5200 directly to my bare feet after creating a form using tape. My wife complains tho when I rub my 5200 clad fet up against her legs at nite.
Feet not fet
Its the marguaritas
It is ( it's) not its. Again...
Great idea! I have just the pair to try it on.

Also check with Dave Page Cobbler in Fremont, (the center of the universe in Seattle) he used to do deck shoes and running shoe soles - I had a couple of pair of shoes done with new soles a few years ago and they worked well
