Common Shoe Wear Areas: Key Damage Zones and Repair Solutions

  1. Big Toe Area
    This part of the shoe is most prone to wear, especially in sneakers with a mesh or fabric upper. Without an additional protective layer, these materials tend to develop holes due to friction and pressure.
  2. Seam Junction
    Seams constantly experience friction while walking, leading to wear on the inner lining. In leather or suede shoes, this process is gradual, and damage may only become visible after prolonged use.
  3. Tears Near the Sole Edge
    Tears frequently occur in the front and inner parts of shoes. The upper material may not withstand pressure, leading to detachment and eventual ripping at the sole junction. This issue is common in sneakers with plastic elements, where rigid parts rub against soft fabrics, causing tears.

Stages of Shoe Wear

  1. Cracking of the upper material
  2. Development of scuff marks
  3. Formation of holes in high-friction areas

At Reborn, our skilled craftsmen repair these damages using internal patch installation, one of the most effective methods for restoring sneakers and dress shoes.

How We Install an Internal Patch

  1. Identifying the Problem Area
    Our expert inspects the shoes to determine which areas require reinforcement instead of simple gluing.
  2. Preparing the Patch
    A custom leather template is created to match the damaged area.
  3. Material Treatment
    The leather patch is cut, sanded, degreased, and prepped with adhesive for maximum durability.
  4. Patch Application
    The patch is carefully glued inside the shoe, ensuring a seamless repair with no visible alterations.
  5. Sole Repair (If Needed)
    If the sole is damaged, the inner material is lifted, and the insole is temporarily removed. The patch is then placed between the sole layers or inside the shoe to prevent discomfort. The shoe is then reassembled and securely bonded.
  6. Seam Repair
    For torn seams, we disassemble the stitching, install the patch, then re-stitch the area to restore durability.

Internal patch installation is a quick, cost-effective, and reliable solution that extends the life of your footwear.
