Step 8Reassemble the heel
Now, reassemble the heel.
To make it slightly water resistant, I put a piece of 0.5mm thick PETG plastic between the heel and rubber sole.
Contact cement should work well for the attaching, optionally in combination with some little tacks. To tell the truth, I did a fairly dodgy job with tacks, and then got a family friend who is a cobbler to do a nicer job. My job worked, but was a bit ugly.
Then plug it in and charge it up, and try it out!
As I mentioned before, the microphone on the H500 is so sensitive, you can hold the shoe any old way, up to 2 metres away and it will pick up the conversation with ease.
However, the speaker volume is a bit quiet, and you will need to position the shoe fairly well to hear the conversation. This will be even worse if you didn't adjust the volume to maximum before assembling the shoe.
