Fixing plate shoes? New Balance 460s - Blown out toe/instep guard
 

For the second time in under a year, the instep guard on my NB 460 plate shoes has torn "loose" at the toe. It's still attached but it flops up now. I don't want to buy new shoes again....these aren't even fully broken in yet!

It looks like it needs restitched but I have no way of doing this. Anyone have any success fixing this problem? Would it work to just Shoe Goo it down?

I like the toe design on the new NB 460's....but I hate the mesh on the sides of the upper.

Mine did this last year. Ump-attire replaced them for free.

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.
