Trainer Armour Heel Hole Preventer patches are a simple yet highly effective way to extend the life of your favourite footwear. Designed to be applied to the inside heel area, these patches offer a discreet layer of protection against friction and wear that can eventually cause unsightly and uncomfortable holes.

Description
Whether you’re dealing with brand new shoes or trying to repair early signs of damage, these patches give your footwear added resilience without altering the fit or feel.
Made from a durable, abrasion-resistant material, each patch is engineered to handle daily wear and tear while maintaining a low profile. The wrap-around shape is specifically crafted to protect the entire heel area, including both sides and the back, offering more coverage than standard heel protectors. The thin, flexible design means you’ll barely notice it’s there once fitted, but it’s tough enough to stop further damage in its tracks.
The patches are quick to apply thanks to a clever adhesive backing that avoids the mess and fuss of traditional shoe repairs. The backing design helps position the patch accurately while preventing your fingers from getting stuck. One size fits all shoes, but the patches can be easily trimmed if you need a custom fit for specific footwear styles or shapes.
Ideal for runners, hikers, or anyone tired of their heel wearing through long before the rest of the shoe, Trainer Armour Heel Hole Preventers are a cost-effective and practical solution. They’ll save you money on replacements while improving comfort and reducing friction against your skin.
How does it work
The Trainer Armour Heel Hole Preventer patch works by reinforcing the vulnerable heel area inside your shoe with a strong yet thin layer of material. As the heel moves during walking or running, this area is often the first to show signs of wear. The patch absorbs this friction, protecting the shoe’s inner lining and soft padding underneath. Its wrap-around shape ensures that both the rear and sides are shielded, stopping heel rub from creating a hole in the first place or halting further damage to a worn area.
The material is thin enough to remain comfortable but strong enough to resist daily abrasion. Its peel-and-stick backing allows for a hassle-free application without glue or stitching, and the patch stays securely in place during use. The result is longer-lasting footwear and more comfort for your feet.
