I just picked up a co-signed pair of Solutions that are great except one of the shoes has some rough stitching in the heel where the pull tabs attach to the shoe that is sure to cut me up after a few days.
Was wondering if anyone has run into this problem and how they fixed it.
Posting here instead of tech talk for obvious reasons.
You tried duct tape already?
Haven't seen one of these around here lately:Quote:

First thing I tried, pushed into shoe along with foot. Might have been too small a piece though.Quote:

.... PM Old Larry.
You guys are old…
Never heard of gear consignment? Jesus.

Was pointing that out so it didn't seem like I bought them new with a defect.
Consigned /=/ co-signed.
But that makes a lot more sense now...

After repairing a pack strap once, I had a similar problem, repair was made with some heavy thread, and rested right on my collarbone. I used contact cement to put a piece of suede over the seam.
Lightly hammer the seam. For real.
maybe your not tough enough to climb, and thats why you bought the solutions, cause youre going bouldering.
MTFU
You're right, climbing is about my 7th favorite thing to do.Quote:

thats my first time doing the talk trash to strangers on tgr thing...went pretty well!
I always just increase how long i can wear them until i get a callus. Not the best, but its what has worked for me
