Scooter proofing shoes.

I have a toddler who loves the scooter and balance bike. The only problem is the holes in the shoes. I feel terrible having to throw away shoes, any ideas for reinforcement? The shoes are often wellies or crocs however she has had some vans wear down too.

Is she scooting on her toes? Try and explain she needs to use the ball of her foot?

@boulevardofbrokendreamss she wears down the sole of the shoes. So it has a hole in, she’s a fast grower so shoes don’t last long anyway but all her shoes get holes in a matter of months.
