Fixing Your Climbing Shoes

Even though most of us in Silelis still wear our first climbing shoes, there are some members who are not that lucky. For example, Vlad has again worn out his shoes. That is the price one has to pay if you don't want to stay at beginner's level. But we still respekt him even though he climbs so much and so well. His ingeniousness can be useful to many.
Just have a look how he fixed his shoes.

In the following picture you can see his shoe and the fixing material:

The Vlad's fixing method includes putting an empty coffee package inside the shoe and thus covering the hole.
Here you can see the shoe is almost as new:



The secret lying behind this solution is that coffee packages do not tear or melt like paper. Enjoy!
