Here is a little ol’ tutorial to repair your old TOMS shoes.

1. Get the goods. You will need fabric adhesive sheets, heavy-duty fabric (think drapery fabric), and your worn-out TOMS.

2. Cover the front panel of your TOMS with the fabric adhesive. The adhesive sheets I used were two sided, so it was easy to cover the toe box and trim the excess. You will need to use part of the excess adhesive to cover the entire front panel.

3. Trim a triangle of fabric, enough to cover the entire toe box. Apply the fabric, beginning at the sides and working your way to the front. When you get to the front, pleat the fabric and secure with a small square of the adhesive sheet. Put on your shoe and press fabric firmly.

4. Ta-da!
