Footwear News, Footwear Plus and all of the fashion magazines continue to show heels in mid height, high and sky high stilettos from most of the major shoe designers.  That should be good news for those of us in the shoe repair trade as we experience continued strength in our dowel replacement business.

Sales at Guard Industries remain brisk and growing on the Avanti Premium Dowels.  Made in the heart of the U.S.A. in St. Louis and top quality materials we remain a popular choice among the elite shops throughout the country.  Heel repair and dowel sales easily lead to introducing other services such as protective soles, toe tips and refinishing jobs.

Our inventory levels have been bolstered to meet increased demand and many of the odd "hard to find" sizes are now back in stock.

Here is a link to a fun news article we came across in the WSJ, These Workouts Pump It Up, that relates back to high heels.  I would suppose these gals will need their heels repaired way before the average female consumer.
