Plus your perfectly broken-in favourites go to landfill.

Insoles and glue don’t fix a worn heel
New insoles
They cover the floor of the shoe — the scratchy worn heel lining keeps rubbing your skin with every step.
Glue / tape
Stiff and lumpy right against your heel — blisters guaranteed, and it peels off within days.

People keep rescuing “worn out” shoes
“I always wear out the heel of my shoes. This will save me a lot of money.”

Verified buyer — United Kingdom“The premium microfiber suede feels soft against the heel and made my worn trainers comfortable again.”
Hannah S. — verified buyer“I repaired the inside heel lining of my sneakers in less than a minute and the patch stayed firmly attached.”
Tom F. — verified buyerEverything people ask before buying
Will it work on my shoes?
Yes — trainers, running shoes, heels, boots and dress shoes: the patches bond to any smooth inner lining, whether leather, fabric or synthetic.
Will the patch actually stay on?
The adhesive is industrial-strength — the key is preparation: clean with rubbing alcohol, press firmly for 30 seconds, then wait 10 minutes before wearing. Full bond strength in 2 hours. 90% of adhesion failures come from skipping the cleaning step.
Heel or toe — which patch do I use?
Thick heel patches for badly worn linings, thin ones for light wear and snug shoes, and the 4 toe patches fix or prevent big-toe holes — great in brand-new trainers too.
Can I cut a patch to a custom size?
Yes — trim cleanly with scissors before peeling the backing. Keep the corners rounded so the edges don’t catch and peel.
How fast will I get it?
