Just bought a $200 pair of shoes about 3 months ago and both toe boxes have formed great toe area holes...UGH! As a nurse I must keep my feet in prime condition but hate to spend high amounts of money to only have to toss them after a couple of months. You have saved me! Now....off to find a video on how to repair them. :)
Bought mine 7 days ago, today discovered a big hole on the side, wasted 230$🥲
Cant you return or replace the shoes in the shop? No warranty?
Great idea ! Thanks for posting
It's better to use a bigger piece because a tiny one, as the one shown, can get peeled off at the edges with the movement and friction of your toes. When you cut a more generous piece, it provides plenty of coverage if your foot and toes move around slightly during running and walking. My two cents...
I just bought some brooks levitate 5 shoes! They are the best shoes I've ever bought. Thanks for letting me know about them.😁
Worth a try. Thanks 😊
What a great and easy fix. Thanks Kevin.
Thank you!! Hope it helps some people out there to get more out of their shoes!
Your neck is sooo smooth, no liknes no wrinles. We need a video on how to make look like that. And thanks for this video; great idea 👍🏼
Thank you, now I can save my future running shoes!! 🎉
I took a chance and tried to find a solution for the holes in my sneakers. I just bought new and expensive sneakers and hated to ruin them again. Thank you so much for the solution.
Thank you!~it's been surprising to see how many of us have had this problem...hope it works for you!
I bought new balance 519s. They have an extra layer of leather over the big toe area.These companies know this happens, and leave the shoes how they are to sell more shoes, but I aint putting up with that shit anymore. You guys might want to check those out. In the past I have done something similar to what this guy did, and it can work. I just used multiple layers of duct tape, it can fall off though. I would imagine toe protectors might be the best thing, they sell those in stores.
Thanks for sharing for everyone. It was actually New Balances that led me to this fix many years ago...they had a really good model at the time that I liked, but I had this problem with the big toe...I can't remember which one it was on the top of my head, although I bought quite a few pair of those shoes. Glad to hear that is sounds like they fixed the problem with model you have.
Wow, i'm about to save my $200 running shoes and get another 6-12 months of use out of them with this trick. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us!
Good video.
i got a brooks ghost 14 and the right shoe got torn from the joint of the sole and the fabric really frustrating.
Thanks for the fix. Just got a new pair of Hokas
Mine couldn’t even last me a year 😢
Its crazyyyy, after ruining 3 sneakers, each got a hole in less than a month. It took a long while to figure out what even caused the problem. thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing; I feel you! I would get so frustrated when that would happen. This little fix really helped me and I hope it helps you.
For 53 years. I have had the problem for 53 years. Thank you so much.
Where to get one ? What is it call'd ?
It's very frustrating having an expensive pair of running shoes develop a hole in the toe box in the first couple of weeks that you wear them. I've had to sew them to close up the hole with mixed results. Should I really be having to repair expensive shows just weeks after putting them on? I think it's a design problem from the shoe company that needs to fix this. Your idea of using moleskin is great! It's a proactive approach to the problem so you don't need to get the sewing kit out. Thanks so much for posting this video!
Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience Paul! I really started noticing this issue when mesh toe boxes became popular and it really irritated me how quickly I would develop a hole, like you said, within a matter of weeks. I agree in that the companies could better reinforce this area especially since we know they have a good profit margin since they outsource manufacturing where labor is much cheaper. I've had good success with the moleskin so I'm glad you found this video and I hope this works for you, too!
It's planned obsolescence my friend, in order to maximize profits.
Maybe it's a feature, not a bug, so that we (seemingly) are required to buy new expensive sneakers frequently.
@@facshc4918 You make a good point!
Already hole is there 😮💨, lost my pairs. Need to buy one.
Just bought some after going to 4 different supermarkets to look for it. One person I asked looked at me crazy when I said moleskin 😂
2 pair of 100.00 Asiss had holes in the toes in 1-2 months.
I thought I am the only one with this problem. I hope this will work.
Nope...me too! I thought something was wrong iwth my toe, lol. If you end up trying this, feel free to let me know how it goes for you.
Me to I honestly did not expect to find anything on the UA-cam search in mad at this happening to £200 trainers 4 pairs in 6 months just got a pair I love and want them to last if it happens again I might have to remortgage the house for a new pair😂😂 thanx Kevin x
HOLY MOLY BATMAN! This is one fantastic video. What brand of shoes were those, they look really nice and comfortable
Thanks Flimsy! Those are Brooks Ghosts...this is the older model, but I liked them so much, I got a second pair when they went on sale before the new model came out, lol. To me, these are closest shoes to feeling like slippers, yet still provide support 😊
@@HowTowithKevin Nice! They really look nice. Are they an expensive brand?
@@HowTowithKevin ok money bags. Lol! I just checked on Amazon most are 130 or more, but you seem like a person that knows quality so I think these shoes are worth a try at least
@@FlimsyIndo 😂 That is what they cost...RETAIL...now you know how I feel about buying stocks, I'm always looking to buy at the right price, lol! I actually bought this pair right before the holidays last year (after the new model came out) at $89.99. I'm not saying that they're not worth paying $130 for (they are really good shoes IMO), but if I can plan ahead, I'll buy them for less, LOL! If you wanted to get a pair, I'd recommend that strategy, buying the older model around the Black Friday sales. Unless of course, like everything else, there are supply issues!
@@HowTowithKevin that's a good idea! I'll keep an eye out for them just in case they do go on sale. 🤓
My solution is to stick in some duck tape. Works for me. Make sure it's a reasonable size so if it migrates a little it still covers the toe area.
Since this is a common issue, why won't the Shoe manufacturers build the toe box to avoid the holes? This seems like another case of planned obsolescence. Thanks for the tip.
Lost 3 shoes three years
Great until the adhesive fails, which it will quickly.
This is a big problem. Suppose it would be too much to expect manufacturers to suitably reinforce running shoes in the toe area!!
Ee
Gorilla tape would probably be the best tape for this
Take the laces out
I use a triple layer of duct tape
