The Big Toe Hole Preventer is a patented UK-designed, self-adhesive patch system that reinforces the vulnerable big toe area inside running shoes and fabric footwear. Available in black or white, it comes with easy-to-use applicators for precise, mess-free fitting without removing shoelaces.

Ideal for proactive shoe care, it extends footwear lifespan while maintaining comfort and invisibility.

## Description

Product Description Trainer Armour is a reinforced self-adhesive patch and applicator system that prevents your big toe wearing a hole in your expensive trainers.​Trainer Armour is a thin patch that fits inside your trainers, just above your big toe, and is designed to be unnoticeable after fitting. It is manufactured from tough abrasive and tear resistant material. Indications Prevents and repairs big toe holes, protects shoe mesh P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions 1. Open the package and remove the left foot applicator with the attached patch, right foot applicator with the attached patch, and user/care instructions. 2. Follow the user instructions to apply the patches above the big toe area/toebox on both shoes without removing shoelaces or getting stuck to the patches. 3. Ensure proper placement for unnoticeable, hardwearing reinforcement and protection against big toe holes and shoe mesh abrasion. Safety Warning Use with caution to avoid skin irritation during application. Check for any signs of discomfort or irritation while using the product. Ensure proper fit to prevent potential issues.

Review: Great Value, Works extremely well, Invisible and Comfortable - What a fabulous product. Was extremely sceptical that this would work but it did. Good thickness to the patches very easy to apply with instruction on use provided to facilitate correct fitting. Superb adhesion, invisible and comfortable, you do not feel the patch when the shoe is worn. Ticks all the boxes and gives excellent results. Great product and good value for money given the fact that it works. Will happily buy again, highly recommend.
Review: Effective solution for toe holes - These are easy & quick to apply, and have completely completely hidden the holes in my running trainers. So far there is no sign of further wearing, can't be felt while running, and from the outside of the shoes you can't tell there had been a big hole not long ago. For the quality provided, they are definitely worth the reasonable cost (much cheaper than investing in new trainers!).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent no more big toe holes.
*by J***N on 5 October 2025*

Taken me a while to write this review as wanted to test them properly. Couldn’t believe how well these work. I’ve always had problems finding something that would stop me getting the same tell tale hole in expensive running trainers but these are amazing. Sticky and easy to apply. I’ve got them in all my trainers now. Great value for money as helps keep my Saucony’s in great condition. Now it only when the soles go after many miles that I need a new pair. 🙌🏼
