FAQs
What is the Trainer Armour Big Toe Hole Preventer?
It's a thin, protective patch designed to prevent and repair big toe holes in trainers and running shoes.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes two patches, a left foot applicator, a right foot applicator, user instructions, and a link to a video user guide.
What shoe sizes does it fit?
The Trainer Armour Big Toe Hole Preventer comes in a one size fits all, from UK 3 to UK 12.
Do I need to remove my laces to install the patch?
No, you do not need to remove the laces. The applicator is designed to help you insert the patch easily.
Can I use it on shoes that already have a hole?
Yes, you can. It works best when applied when the hole is first visible, and it prevents the hole from getting bigger.
How do I clean my shoes after applying the patch?
Use a damp cloth to clean your shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the patch or the shoe's material.
How long does the patch last?
The lifespan of the patch depends on usage. Regular wear and tear will affect its durability. Check periodically for wear and replace if necessary.
What is the patch made of?
The patch is made from a thin but very hard-wearing material that is abrasion and tear-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Patch is difficult to apply or position correctly.
Refer to the user instructions and video guide. Make sure the shoe is clean and dry before application. Use the applicator to aid placement.
Patch comes loose after application.
Ensure the shoe is clean and dry. Press the patch firmly after application and check regularly for wear. Consider using a small amount of shoe adhesive for extra hold, if needed.
The patch is visible or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and placed it accurately, using the applicator. The patch should be unnoticeable once installed. Adjust its position if required.
