I have the same plate shoes and had the same thing happen to my left instep guard. I took them to a local Shoe Repair, and she reattached the guard.
She did a great job and it looks like new. A year and 100+ games later and it is doing fine. Cost me $30.00.

Given that the NB 460 is the older model plate shoe (the latest version is the NB 460v3), they may not have many more to offer a free replacement.
