With thread?
Colour - Cobalt Blue

These oval natural suede leather outsoles patches come in three sizes and many colours. All are priced in pairs so a quantity of "1" gives two pieces. Originally designed for adding a bit more grip to slippers and slipper socks we found they are useful for many things. Add a 10 metre (around 11 yards) card of super-strong waxed thread in a toning colour. 

We're not quite sure what best to call these very useful shapes with holes ready punched for stitching or as a base for crochet. Paws? Footpads? Paw prints? 

They make great elbow and knee patches and are ideal for adding durability and a bit of grip to socks and slippers of all sizes* not to mention they'd be rather good soles for dog shoes! 

We import our beautiful suede to make our suede patches from a tannery in Italy which has excellent eco-credentials throughout the leather-making process.

Small 7.5cm x 5cm (almost 3" x 2")

Suede patches

Bought small oval suede patches to fix 2 holes in a kendo glove. The patches are shipped in pairs which is perfect, and they arrived on time. The patches are soft and flexible yet seem durable. They were the perfect size for what I needed and my gloves feel like they still have good flexibility and grip. Would definitely order again if needed.

Ordered for my mum, who says these will be perfect for her knitted slippers. She loves the colours and the quality of the patches. She also said that she will definitely be ordering more amazing things from this lovely family run business.

Crochet Felted Slippers

I have just made my first pair of Crochet Felted Slippers and wanted safe suede leather patches for the soles. We have wooden floors so didn’t want to slip or for them to be noisy when walking around, I’m an early riser. I came across Joe’s Toes they had a fabulous selection and helpful guidance, they arrived within a couple of days and are brilliant making my slippers look great. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again, thank you Teresa

These were just what I needed to reinforce some knitted slippers and make them non-slip. They arrived quickly and were exactly as described. Will be buying more!

These were perfect as elbow patches to give a new lease of life to my husband's favourite tweed jacket. Plenty of colours to choose from and so easy to sew on.

Lovely leather pads for my handknitted slippers

These leather pads ensure that the hand knitted slippers my grandmother made for me 20 years ago are protected and non slippery, and can continue to be used for years to come! They also make them warmer and waterproof at the bottom which is good for walking into kitchens and bathrooms.

What a find!

I was having some trouble darning my husband's favourite jumper which had holes at both elbows, when a friend suggested I tried Joe's Toes for leather patches. "What's Joe's Toes?" I asked, and she explained everything to me. Thanks JT you have saved me hours of fiddly work and given the jumper a professional result.
