-
Pull the insole out of the shoe.
-
Apply duct tape inside the shoe (on the other side of the hole).
-
Make sure the duct tape covers up the entire hole, so there will be no shoe goo going through the sole into the shoe.

-
After 24 hours, remove the duct tape from the shoe.
-
Place the insole back into the shoe.
-
-
-
Use the 120 grit sand paper to rub the surface of the outsole until the shoe goo portion is smooth.

Now you can walk again!

Excellent - thank you
I wonder if there is any tip for a sole that has a hole all the way through. I tried something similar like this guid but it was quickly worn out. Maybe if I reinforce with duct tape and build the hole up from inside out, then make it a 2 step progress and do the outside first. Let dry for 2 days and then approach the same from the inside. Hmm such a shame certain brands have weak soles
Buen dia voy a seguir su recomendacion para reparar mis deportivo GRACIAS
