Sneakers with holes: How to replace the slides on your sneakers?
Sneakers occupy a central place in our daily lives, as much for their comfort as for their role as fashion accessories. However, repeated wear of certain parts, such as the slides inside the heels, can quickly alter their comfort and aesthetics. These areas, subjected to constant friction, are often the first to deteriorate, causing pain or even blisters. Fortunately, you don't have to replace your shoes to solve this problem. A simple repair of the slides can restore your sneakers and extend their life.
At TILLI, our shoemakers specialize in repairing and replacing slides. Thanks to their know-how and the use of high-quality materials, we guarantee discreet, solid and comfortable repairs. What's more, with the Repair Bonus, this intervention costs €27 instead of €35, making this solution both economical and long-lasting.
Why Replace the Glides on Your Sneakers?
Sliders, those internal bands at heel level, are constantly subjected to friction with each use. Wear is therefore inevitable over time, and neglecting to replace them can lead to significant discomfort. A worn slide becomes a source of friction that can cause blisters or irritation in the heel area, making it painful to wear shoes. By opting for a rapid repair, you can restore the original comfort of your sneakers and avoid any inconvenience on your daily commute.
As well as causing discomfort, slide wear exposes the shoe's internal structure, notably the counter and padding. These essential components can deteriorate rapidly if the lining remains damaged, compromising the longevity of your sneakers. With timely repairs, you can considerably extend the life of your shoes and preserve their original aesthetic appeal.
Thanks to the Repair Bonus, this type of maintenance also becomes a cost-effective approach. This government initiative encourages repair rather than replacement, offering a direct reduction in costs. By combining durability, comfort and savings, slide repair is a sensible and responsible solution.
The TILLI Slide Repair Process
Replacing sliders requires expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. At TILLI, we have developed a rigorous process that guarantees optimal results, both in terms of comfort and aesthetics.
Our craftsmen begin with a complete diagnosis of the shoes. They assess not only the condition of the slides, but also that of surrounding areas, such as the counter and lining, to detect any collateral damage. This step enables the intervention to be tailored to the specific needs of each pair. Once the condition of the runners has been confirmed, our craftsmen remove the damaged elements using appropriate tools, thus preserving the internal structure of the sneakers.
The choice of material is a key step in the process. We select strong, comfortable runners. These materials are then cut and adjusted to fit the shape of the shoe perfectly. Careful stitching is carried out in the same stitches as the original seams, guaranteeing a discreet and solid repair. Finishing includes quality control to ensure the shoe is ready to wear, offering the same level of comfort as a new pair.

Preserving Your Sneakers After Repair
Once the slides have been replaced, a few simple gestures can extend the life of your sneakers. Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the inside of your shoes to avoid the accumulation of dust and residues that can accelerate wear. When storing your shoes, take care not to deform the heels by inserting shoe trees or using suitable supports to maintain their shape.
It is also advisable to wear suitable socks to minimize friction on the runners. In the event of prolonged exposure to damp environments, dry your sneakers in the open air, away from sources of direct heat, to avoid damage to the leather or internal tissues. By adopting these good practices, you not only extend the life of your shoes, but also the quality of the repairs carried out.
