High Heel Repair and/or Decorative High Heel Cover

Abstract

Novel semi-permanent and/or permanent high heel repair device and/or decorative cover slips over the original material on a high heel to either change the decoration, protect the original high heel material from damage, or to cover damage that occurred on the high heel or on the underlying high heel material. The invention comprises a tube of material in a variety of shapes (depending on the shape of the high heel) with one end of the tube closed, or both ends open. If one end is closed, the closed end has a small hole in it allowing for a heel tip dowel to pass through, stopping at the heel tip (neither the dowel nor the heel tip are part of the device), which helps secure the invention to the high heel. The invention may be semi-permanently attached using this method or permanently attached using this method or additional adhesive or another fixative. The shape of the invention can match the profile of the high heel or be a different profile from the high heel. The invention will be created in several sizes, heights, thicknesses and profiles to fit on several different high heels and either mimic the high heel's original shape or may change the original high heel shape.
