Shoe Toebox Toeburst Blowout Hole Prevention Insert/Patch (Black)

These work really well. I was honestly surprised. I bought them to fix a few holes until I can get different shoes. Then, I blew the side of my shoe out at work.I used a whole patch inside my shoe, and I got through my 8 hour work day!My job requires me to be on my feet all day, and didn't have any issues. I couldn't even tell my shoe was ripped!

My feet just started to hurt and I was shocked to learn my Brooks were over a year old. My past 3 pairs had toe blow out before 6 months. These inserts completely stop my $150 sneakers from being trash when they were still good to wear. I did recently wash my sneakers and it kinda messed up the stickers but I few pats seemed to keep them from falling off. So, here I am again buying them.

I bought these to fix my air max 270s that for some reason always get a hole in the toe box. They work well but I'd say they are probably better at preventing holes if you think to put them in when you first get your shoes. They are customizable so you can make them fit your shoe the way that you want. They fit really well and they are pretty sticky. They are fairly easy to put in your shoe as well.

Work well. Follow the instructions, but use a vacuum in your shoes to remove sock dust to keep it off the adhesive.

As someone that works in a warehouse that walks 20 miles a day. The safety shoes they make is wear for the most part can last quite a while. But there are times when small holes/rips will start forming on the sides of the shoes while the rest of it is fine. If you apply the patch from the inside, the sticky adhesive tends to hold up pretty good. At the minimum it can buy me another few months of extensive use of my work shoes. So after a few years of using this product and extending the usage of each pair of shoes by an extra 3-6 months. Definitely has saved me MORE than enough money to pay for itself. Well worth getting, especially for anyone that tends to abuse their shoes more than the average person.

They were very sticky at first. Now I've resorted to super glue to keep them in. The work great and will make my shoes last longer.

I am a big guy at 6’4” and 275 pounds. My shoe size is a 16 wide. If I purchase shoes that have the nylon mesh top, my big toe will poke a hole through the shoes after about a few weeks. My wife bought these as a preventative for me.The inserts were easy to apply and were comfortable when wearing my shoes. They appear stable and have not tried to dislodge.It’s been a couple months now, and they have offered stable, sturdy protection for my shoes. I do a lot of walking with my job, and they perform very well. I can’t even tell that they are in there.The package comes with two pairs of inserts. This is perfect as it will give protection for my future pair of shoes.

Hopefully your hole is small enough you don't need the entire batch because you'll need it to cut out more pieces as the glue dries and the patch falls off.
