Technical Specs

Trainer Armour - what is it and how does it work?
Trainer Armour is a reinforced self-adhesive patch and applicator system that prevents your big toe wearing a hole in your expensive trainers. Trainer Armour is a thin patch that fits inside your trainers, just above your big toe, and is designed to be unnoticeable after fitting. It is manufactured from tough abrasive and tear resistant material. The applicator system ensures that the patch sticks in the correct place without any danger of sticking it to yourself, the furniture or stray pets. It's best to fit Trainer Armour in new trainers to prevent big toe holes but it can also be used when a hole first becomes visible.

Features

What causes big toe holes?
Here comes the science… the condition that causes big toe holes is called hyperextension of the distal phalanx. In layman’s terms it means that every time you take a step your big toe lifts at the end. Every time your big toe lifts it rubs against the inside of your trainers, which eventually leads to a hole appearing. Studies have shown that as many as 1 in 5 people suffer with this condition. Many people are not aware that it is a medical condition and will blame the quality of their trainers, long toe nails or having the wrong size footwear.
Trainer Armour - why do I need it?
Don’t replace expensive trainers due to big toe holes, fit Trainer Armour in new trainers to prevent the holes appearing. Trainer Armour isn’t just for runners who are clocking up the miles, it is for the 1 in 5 of us that suffer from the medical condition that causes the holes to appear. Throwing away a pair of comfortable shoes just because a hole has appeared, even when the rest of the shoe isn’t showing any signs of wear, is just annoying and costly. Fitting Trainer Armour in new, or nearly new, shoes or trainers extends the life of the footwear you enjoy wearing, which is good for your pocket and good for the planet.
