The lace loops on a pair of trainers are only leather, and one wore through. No great surprise, they aren't new and have been tied and untied many times.
The cut through was reasonably clean though, so I wondered if I could repair the look. Well, it turns out that by wrapping a strip of denim, cut from some old jeans, and fixing it in place with a tiny amount of contact adhesive, I could!
The repair seems to be holding, giving the shoes more time before they get thrown away. There's plenty of life in the soles, so this could be quite some time.
