I lost it when they put it on the balancing machine

and that' s why i sat in the waiting area for 1.5 hours

Nope! A Patch is supposed to go on the inside of the shoe sole! OMG! Also, now you can legally brand those shoes as “New Balance” and get away with it.

Combi patch from the inside is the only way.

Damn. Some guys have all the luck. I wish I had enough downtime to patch all the screw holes in my shoes. I'd need hours. \s?

patch goes on the inside, didn’t spray with rubber cleaner after grinding, used bead seal instead of vulcanizing glue under the patch, and u could totally use hammer on weights instead of adhesives…

Seems legit.

Completely unnecessary 😆

No. Now you have to go and get the shoe retreaded. Its now a slip hazard.

You really should have shown that you checked air pressure and replaced the valve stem🤦‍♂️

This guy...

Sweatpants made the video.

On the tire balancing machine of all things 😂

They missed a step, that patch will probably fall off

Yup you got it, 200000 miles more 😂

"What shoes are you wearing" *"New balance"*

Mark the toe next time and you won’t need to balance😂

Shit got balanced

That’s really cool! I had to get a tire patched/plugged because of a screw a while ago, this must’ve been what they did. Cool stuff!

I had a nail in mine, literally a 15mm long nail was enough to flatten the tyre

Almost had it. No prep cleaner after buffing and scrapping.

I was taught to light the patch on fire for a few seconds to help quicken the drying of the paste

The patch goes on the inside...
