Shoe heel protector

Abstract

The concept of Show Stopper Shoe Topper is a covering to be positioned atop the heels of women's shoes to provide added strength and support while protecting this component of the footwear. The footwear accessory could provide wearers with added comfort as well as an eye-catching addition to the shoe. This protective product would consist of a cylindrical sleeve, produced from a durable rubber, which would rest atop the heel. Positioned upon the bottom of the Show Stopper Shoe Topper would be a circular base. I envision this product would be in the shape of a wine glass stem. I would be possible to produce the Show Stopper Shoe Topper in sizes to accommodate various styles and sizes of women's footwear. The Show Stopper Shoe Topper could be produced in heights from 2 to 10 inches with the width measuring 1/16 to inch.
