Any ideas that you have used to

to start with.

i use the #5 smooth, flat rubber heel---not the #5 rubber horseshoe heel. when i get/need a new one i always file down the edges with some very fine sandpaper. i also sand the entire heel as well. it seems the rubber on the new heel is very tacky. sanding it very fine helped me a great deal.

When I talked to the Dexter rep, he said to rub the heel under the ball returns(to gather some dust on the heel)and then lightly sand them around the edges to wear them down.
