Introduction
A tear in the knitted upper of your favorite shoes doesn't mean the end of their lifespan. We will walk you through an easy method using a self-adhesive patch to repair the tear, ensuring your knitted shoes remain both stylish and functional.
➡️Before you get started, please check the safety disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
-
-
Use scissors to trim any loose threads or fibers around the torn area.
-
Prepare the self-adhesive patch and make sure it is big enough to cover the ripped knit area.
-
-
-
Gently remove half the cover paper from the backside of the patch.
-
Hold the patch with 3 fingers to be able to insert into the front of the shoe.
-
-
-
Gently insert the patch without touching the inside of the adhesive part and move forward with your hand until you can see it underneath the hole.
-
Peel off the rest of the cover paper and press the patch onto the upper from the inside.
-
-
-
Place a small lid or a coin on top of the ripped area and check if it fully covers the hole.
-
Use the lid/coin as template to draw a circle on the self-adhesive patch and then cut along the marked area.
-
Get creative: You might also like to cut a customized shape such as a leaf, bear, or heart. Wear it as a badge of pride, to remember the adventure that caused it!
-
-
-
Peel-off cover paper. Be cautious that the patch doesn't fold over or wrinkle.
-
Place the patch evenly onto the ripped area and press both sides together from the inside and outside part.
