Stick pads

Stick Pads are the soft rubber things that you fit onto the end of a walking stick to protect the end of the stick and reduce the noise of the stick hitting the ground. Sound Recordists use them on high heels or chair legs to reduce the sounds of walking or chair movements on hard hollow floors. They are available in a range of sizes from 3/8″ to over an inch in 1/8″ increments.

The search term “stiletto heel stopper” may well produce a local supplier, possible a bridal shop.

TESA Tape is also useful for less pointed heels, TESA tape is too soft to last long on a stiletto heel.
