WHAT IS A THOMAS HEEL?

We replaced the Thomas Heels on this pair of Aldens

Here's a closer look at the Thomas Heel.

I haven't replaced a pair of Thomas Heels for a very long time.  You may ask, what is a Thomas Heel?  It is a heel that extends further down the inside arch area of the shoe.  It is often used with people who have flat feet, to give them a little extra support.  Alden still makes shoes that use the Thomas Heel.
