Circle Shape Shoe Hole Prevention Repair Patches/Inserts for 12 Holes (Black)

These are now in all my fabrics shoes. Had a shoe with toe hole, used one that matched the shoe color and it has worked perfectly ever since. They are very sticky and adhere well. Highly recommend.

I bought sneakers in the Spring, only used on a treadmill, already ripping through fabric by Fall. Treads have no wear to speak of. Patched inside heels and underside of the big toes. I feel a slight edge in the toe area but not enough to bother my workout. The heel is a little more slippery at the patch otherwise wouldn't know it's there. I fixed up my husband's black sneakers one of his pinky toes made a hole straight through. Patch one inside and one outside. When it had a hole it was so obvious, now a quick glance you can't tell there's a patch. The circle adheres over the inside one and stays put, no peeling edge. I thought for sure the outside patch wouldn't stay stuck but surprise it has stayed quite well. Sneaker was clean and rubbed it in with something hard. I told others about these sneaker patches at the STRIDE studio to get more life out of our treadmill sneakers. My work shoes the back is getting roughed up, I'll put a patch over those too.

not enough time to rate adhesion. placed on toe box of mesh sneakers

My sister told me about these and I’m soo glad! I was worried they wouldn’t stay, but they have stayed well and so for they haven’t even turned down on any of the edges. I do not even know they are there, so comfortably is top notch! I chose these because the size was perfect for covering the big toe area, and no cutting was necessary. I do not see them through the mesh type top on my Brooks running shoes, which is exactly what I wanted. These are performing up to my standard and worth the money.

As a preemptive protection of a shoe upper from rubbing through, these patches work decently because the toes are constantly pressing them into the inside of the shoe upper. But you would need to know ahead of time that your shoe might have this issue. On the outside of the shoe, however, they do require glue or other adhesive for the best results. This kind of defeats the purpose. You could use any repair material and the glue.

So far this is the best purchase I’ve ever made. I had to replace my most favorite pair of Nikes due to big toes damaging my shoes. Most of my shoes look brand new except for the small hole at the big toe on both shoes. For the shoes that are knitted or does not have reinforced toe pads I placed this patches in the inside big toe areas. The patches were easy to install. I didn’t use additional glue. So far the self adhesive patches are staying in place. I can hardly tell that the patches are there. There are not bulky or cause discomfort. They are appear to be very durable but the material is soft and flexible. I plan to order more hopefully in more colors.

Doesn't work. Don't waste your money. Shows and then pops off, especially if your active.

Since getting these, no more holes in my sneakers after a few months. Completely worth it. I will be buying more.
