Default Repairing "non-repairable" shoes.

I've got a pair of shoes which are a bit down at heel. The leather

The problem is the heels. They seem to be solid from top to bottom i.e.
there's no removable sole I can replace. To complicate matters there's a
circular shock absorbing insert down the middle.

Before I bin them, has anybody successfully sawn off the end of the heel
(the part that contacts the ground) and replaced it?

we used to repair composite heels and soles years ago so I would imagine
they still do, but it will cost.
