Big Toe Hole Preventer for Running Shoes and Fabric Footwear. Black self-Adhesive Patches with a Clever applicator. Strong and unnoticeable When Fitted. Also for Footwear Repair

Bought theese a while ago and forgot to review. Theese are a lifesaver, honestly I have saved so much money in shoes. It's been months and there is NO HOLE FORMING IN MY SHOE!, maybe im dramatic but the absolute frustration that comes with have to repair shoes for work literally every couple of months was driving me mad, not to mention the financial aspect. These little things have fixed every one of those problems, I honestly can't praise them enough, if you get holes in your shoes where your big toe is, from the way you walk, get theese, just get them you will not regret it!

I definitely recommend these for prolonging the life of expensive running shoes with weak mesh front uppers. First of all, I’ve had no issue with the slight reduction in air circulation these stick on patches naturally cause. I’ve bought this item twice for my running shoes - the first time was after I had already put holes in the toe position of my ASICS Gel Nimbus 25s after about 200 km of use. The holes have not got worse since fitting and I’ve now covered 785 km. For my second pair of ASICS Nimbus 25s I fitted these protectors from day 1 and they are have no holes even after having now covered 558 km in these running shoes. Does exactly what they advertised and for my shoes the adhesive has kept them in place without issue, even through some heavy rain, soaking my running shoes. In conclusion, they seem expensive for a couple of stickers, but I feel worth it for expensive running shoes which gain significant extra life for those people whose big toes tend to create holes in their running shoes.

I wear a certain brand of Japanese trainers and within about 4 months of wearing them they develop a hole where each of my big toes are. This product has been very effective in preventing this and so greatly prolongs the life of my trainers.It's a clever design that makes correct placement of the protector inside each trainer easier and more certain. It does seem that the cost of such a product would likely be fairly low, so I would expect 2 pairs for the price of the one pair that I paid, so I have docked a star for that reason.

I didn't have high expectations of this, but it wasn't too expensive so thought I'd give it a try. In my case, it was some woollen slippers that were wearing through at the toe, so it wasn't even clear if the adhesive on the pads would work on wool. But it's a great idea to use foot-sized cardboard templates to ensure the toe-cap is positioned in the right place, and having done as the instructions said (to press the pad firmly by massaging the toe of the shoe, and then leave the adhesive to cure for 24 hours), it's worked. After a week or so of wear there's no sign of the glue (or pad) giving up, but if that happens I'll update this review. Based on experience so far, I'd thoroughly recommend these.

Bought probably five pair of these now, they are essential because of the way I run and the best on the market.

Great! New Nike trainers were saved by these! Beginnings of a hole where my big toe rubs. Applied these to both trainers and it has prevented the hole from becoming a hole! Can't feel them when wearing my trainers. Great value and does what it says!

Prolongs the life of your running shoes.

I have bought this several times now, as it is so useful. My trainers always end up with small holes at the front, when the rest of the shoes is still in a very good condition and the shoes can still be worn for a long time. This has solved the problem. I will buy this in the future every time I get new trainers.
