I was very lucky to receive a pair of Tom’s Shoes as a present a few years ago. I love them. They are super comfortable, warm in winter (in the house) and cool in summer. On top of all that Tom’s shoes donates a pair of shoes to a shoeless child for every pair sold. What pair of shoes can beat that?
Unfortunately, I am very hard on shoes and this pair eventually wore through at the toes. I had already had a go at darning the worn bits, you might be able to see on this on the left shoe above. They needed something more durable so I decided to look for something more lasting.
I used some pieces of ribbon in contrasting colours. and sewed them at an angle on top of the shoes. It was a little tricky near the soles – it helped to use a curved upholstery needle.
Good for another few miles!
