Your stiffener should be about 2 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches tall to adequately hold your heel from sliding out of your shoe. Stiffeners were applied with the binding stitch to center back of the heel. Reference: http://www.davidsonsskomakeri.com/text2_82.html Reference: http://www.fibroline.com/shoe-stiffeners.htm |
