DS scuffing toes of shoes. Suggestions?

[whyisitraininginmycupboard]

Hi ladies. My son is 3 and has ASD. His latest thing is dragging the toe end of his shoes over the ground. He does it so hard that it quickly wears holes in the shoes. I can't afford to be buying shoes every other week so I'm looking for any tips you might have. I have taken them to a cobbler but she said the repair will quickly wear off. Anyone know if you can buy rubber protectors to glue on or something like that? Thanks for reading

I always bought DS1 trainer style shoes with rubber toes on them, when he was small. Then he started getting his shoes deliberately wet, so they ended up smelling of swamp and falling apart by the 3rd time they'd been dried out, so I just bought him the cheapest shoes possible from shoezone!
