Has the heel lining worn through on a pair of shoes that are otherwise still perfectly good? Stick a self-adhesive repair patch over the worn area and keep wearing them for a while longer. It is easy to fix and makes the shoes feel more like new.
The patches work well in trainers, everyday shoes, running shoes, boots and golf shoes.
They feel similar to a thin piece of leather and are flexible, allowing them to follow the shape of the inside of the shoe. With plenty of colours to choose from, it is easier to find one that suits the shoe.
You receive six repair patches, enough for up to three pairs of shoes. You can also apply them before a hole develops in shoes where the heel lining tends to wear through.
Choose Standard or XL
- Standard, 8.5 × 6 cm: Suitable for most everyday shoes.
- XL, 9.5 × 7 cm: For larger shoes, wider heel counters or when you need to cover a larger area.
Easier to attach
The patches from Laglappen have backing paper that is split down the middle – an improvement we made following feedback from our customers. Gently bend the patch in half and the paper will open at the split, allowing you to remove one half at a time without touching the adhesive.
The product page includes demonstration videos showing you how to attach the patch.
- Clean the inside of the shoe and allow it to dry completely. Remove loose fluff, bobbles and fabric fibres.
- Test the position while the backing paper is still in place. The patch should cover the hole with a small margin and lie flat against the shoe.
- Gently bend the patch in half so the backing paper opens at the split. Remove one half.
- Press the first section into place. Pull away the rest of the backing paper while smoothing the patch against the shoe.
- Press firmly over the entire patch, especially around the edges. The shoes can be worn straight away, but the patch will bond better if left in place for 24 hours before wearing.
The patch bonds best when it can lie flat against the inside of the shoe. Avoid folding it over the top edge of the heel counter, as creases can prevent the patch from bonding properly.
Use a shoehorn when putting on the shoe. This helps your foot slide in without pulling at the upper edge of the patch.





























Very good idea and so far is holding up (just done 7k run and all well). Only problem I’ve had is patch isn’t big enough even though I chose xl. My big feet I guess
Great self-adhesive patches – work very well.
These work very well, extending the life of shoes (and socks)
Easy to apply and it appears to work well so far
