Sneaker Repair Help

I have a problem with Nike sneakers and the fabric tearing and revealing a piece of the shoe underneath that is hard and scratches the back of my foot. Is there anything I can place over this to prevent more tearing and exposing the hard part underneath? I tried a strip of shipping tape and it didn't really help.

Duct tape fixes everything OP.

I bought a bunch of shoe repair patches from Temu or Alibaba. 10 patches for a couple of bucks. A lot of these other options won’t stick to the nylon inner shoe

Moleskin patch when new?

Fly to Vietnam& ask the customer service rep. if you could punish the "Hot Vietnamese mens" who made your sneaks. They have to be over 18 years old. No violating 13-year-old boys, this isn't 1975.

All my Nike shoes usually tear on the sides next to the ball of the foot. I would just buy a new pair, OP. Fixing the old ones isn't worth the hassle.

Heel grip insert? Stop your back heel from rubbing against it.

This is from trying to "slip in" to your shoes, without untying them. Do the duct tape thing for now, and consider those Skechers shoes that you step into.

You type Poor.

r9 I already bought the same pair when it happened to the last pair, but there are none available online in my size, ya dumb fuck. I am picky about sneakers and don't really like currently available styles.

R13 is right, isn’t he? You’ve been abusing your kicks. Tsk tsk.. Crocs for you!

Send those damned things back to Nike and complain. Tell them you want your shoes replaced. Tell them you paid too much for this shit to happen. Just do it.

Kiziks are the sneakers you step into and they are wuuunderful

r17 I chatted with Nike.com and they told me to call corporate and all they did was take a complaint. I will probably buy a heel repair kit and maybe Shoe Goo.

Those poor moles…..

Worse: “what does your husband do?”

“He hunts, kills, skins, and tans moles. We have clawed flipper hand meats for tea.”

“Stay the fuck away from me.”
