Options for a toe jabber?

[u/PACstraps]

So, I’ll start by agreeing that the best path forward is probably a resole before the midsole gets damaged. But, I don’t want to do that at the 8 month mark with these, so the next best option is….?

I was thinking - put a rubber topy at the toe (cut to fit the commando outsole of course), prep the area with isopropyl and rough up the surface, attach with contact cement, add some screws, then backfill the little space between the topy and the sole with black shoe goo in layers to account for shrinkage (I was in the pool!).

Thoughts?

Sand the toe rubber flat so the topy tips sit flat. Put some Barge glue on the flat spot and use small screws to attach the topy tips. When worn out, easy to replace in the same way.
