how to fix a hole in a shoe

 A hole in your shoe is both a hassle and a safety hazard. To make matters worse, repairing it is time-consuming and the risk of reoccurrence is high. These problems are easily remedied with these few steps. We have outlined them below:

1) Find the hole in your shoe and identify how exactly you got it. Does it go all the way through? Have only a small piece torn inside? What type of material would be needed to fix this issue? Write down what you learned about what kind of material to use on your tear-away patch for shoes that are made out of fabric or shearling wool on this sheet (The list goes on).

2) Write down how to find the nearest hardware store and walk in.

3) Do the math. The hole needs to fit the patch material you’ve picked out. The only way to do this is by keeping track of the amounts needed for cutting strips, for securing them with a glue gun, or by using staples or pieces of tape or a rubber band.

4) Do some research, read up on what glue guns and rubber bands are, and buy what you need to fix your shoe. Make sure you have enough adhesive strips/tape/rubber bands, as remembering exactly how much more will be required is pretty difficult at this point.

5) Use the glue gun or staple gun to secure the patch material. Do not purchase an adhesive strip and use it as your sole method of repairing your shoe.

6) Ensure that you have done as much research into where to find a glue gun/staple gun in a case you have been unable to locate one. Having no further means to repair your shoe is pretty unacceptable at this point.

7) If you do not have glue, purchase some rubber bands and tape. Be sure to keep track of how many rubber bands you need and how many pieces of tape you need.

8) Ensure that you have plenty of adhesive strips on hand. The older you are, the more adhesive strips you will need.

9) Ensure that you have done at least one or two times as much work as it took just to find a replacement of your shoe. That’s how much time it will take to fix the hole in your shoe for good and ensure that this issue never occurs again. Putting in all this effort and watching your shoe get worse from getting stuck in a hole is far from acceptable.

10) Now that you have fixed your shoe and are ready to go, be sure to learn how to care for your new boots so that they last longer and stay clean in between trips to the store. You will be happy you did when your shoes don’t get stuck in a hole like they used to.

When in doubt, always keep in mind how many adhesive strips/tape/rubber bands/pieces of paper are required and how much time you have spent researching where to find a glue gun/staple gun.

Don’t forget to take into account the total amount of rubber bands, pieces of tape and adhesive strips you need to finish fixing your shoe. Remember that when walking into a hardware store.

Take some time, use your phone’s calculator! You don’t want to be stuck with only one adhesive strip and no glue or vice versa! Keep track of the total cost of these materials as well. Make this an important part of your study experience.
