Shoe heel stitching cutting foot
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?

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.

Wasn't climbing shoes, but hiking boots, years ago, and I took sand paper to an offending seam. I'm sure it weakened the thread considerably, but it also smoothed it down, and fuzzed it up, which was enough to solve the problem. 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.

No problem. That's what the stitchers do when making the shoes anyway.

Leather stitching.
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
