Anywhere in Dublin that can repair runners like Asics

    Hello,

    The tops of my runners where the toe are have begun to wear down and make holes in the fabric. The rest of the shoe is absolutely perfect so I'd be reluctant to buy a completely new pair of Asics just because the tips of the shoes have small holes in the fabric.

    Is there anywhere in Dublin city that might repair them? Such as some cobblers or clothes repair stores?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Bryans Master Cobbler maybe? Just at the Ha'penny Bridge.

    I dont see how they can repair this to be honest.

    I stick a strip of heavy duty duct-tape on the inside of all new shoes to stop this happening....stupid sticky up toes! :(

    why not buy some mesh fabric from ebay or similar and just glue it to the holes.

    if the shoes are that special to you.

    If its just function you are after then glue a bit of felt or duct tape the insides over the area where the hole develops.

    Neither will fix the cosmetics of the existing holes but will give some buffer to prevent it worsening.
