You would be correct. Take it to a place that repairs shoes.
Yo,
I have a pair of VS Dynamo's with the 1" heel on them. I read somewhere (which I could remember where it was...) that you could get a portion of the heel removed to get a good pair of 1/2" to 3/4" shoes depending on preference. The question is: How the hell do you go about getting this done? Can a cobbler do it?

Let us know how this goes. I'm awaiting a pair of VS Athletics in the mail; I'll give them a try as is, but will likely be visiting a cobbler as well.
