    • Pull the insole out of the shoe.

Excellent - thank you

I used shoe goo on part of the sole that touch the concrete and over about a weeks time it eventually just fell out.

I wonder if there is any tip for a sole that has a hole all the way through. I tried something similar like this guid but it was quickly worn out. Maybe if I reinforce with duct tape and build the hole up from inside out, then make it a 2 step progress and do the outside first. Let dry for 2 days and then approach the same from the inside. Hmm such a shame certain brands have weak soles

heel patch has to extend a considerable length past the actual part to repair (preferably into any grooves) to reduce edges of the patch from peeling and falling off.
