We will repair the hole in the outsole from the inside of the shoe by filling the grid structure with foam rubber pieces.
-
Remove the insole.
-
Note: In our case, the lasting board (pink) and the insole were glued together. Parts of the lasting board are ripped off now.

-
Use a scissor to remove the remaining parts of the lasting board around the outsole hole.
-
Estimate or measure the size of the single grids, which need to be filled.

Prepare the piece of foam rubber, the scissors and the small utility knife.

Cut out the rectangular filling piece.

If you have estimated the size of the filling pieces, try if they're fitting before adding the glue.

Either rework them slightly or take them off and continue with the next step.

-
Cut a big enough part from the gaffa tape.

Cover the hole with the tape to avoid glue being squeezed out.

Use super glue for the grid hole and only apply it on the parts that need to be covered.
-
Use a small spatula to spread the glue evenly and let it dry.
-
Note: Follow the instructions of the glue used to know the exact drying time. In this example we left it a few minutes

-
Use the pin to hold the filling piece and insert it into the pre-glued grid.

Fill any remaining small gaps with a squeeze of glue.

Press the filling piece with the scissor and hold for 30 seconds.

Note: Follow the instructions of the glue used to know the exact drying time. In this example we left the product to dry overnight.
