Why red

With a bold lining, any repair in a different colour shows. Red keeps the look intact. On dark red linings, too, this patch stands out less than a neutral colour.

How to apply red heel lining repair patches

Start with a clean, dry heel lining. Test the patch with the backing still on, so you know exactly where it goes. Then remove the backing, stick the patch in place and rub the edges down well with your thumb. Want to carry the red through to your laces? See our red laces.

Frequently asked questions

Does red work on a burgundy lining?

On burgundy and dark red, red stands out less than grey or white. For a very dark burgundy, black can also work. Compare the patch in daylight before you remove the backing.

Can you see the patch?

Up close you’ll see the edge of the patch. When you wear the shoe, it’s hidden behind your heel. The better the colour matches, the less it shows when you take the shoe off. All colours are in our heel lining repair range.
