Has anybody got any new suggestions other than gaffer tape?
Is gaffer tape known as 'duct tape' here in the UK?
I need to protect my soles!

Will that do the trick?
What is the likely hood of it ripping off the red?
It's not that hard. Just cut the tape in strips a few inches long, tape it to the sole and then carefully trim the excess tape from the edge of the sole with a very sharp pair of scissors. I usually put on two layers for some added protection.
Is this your tape in the UK Amazon, Stilly?

Yes that's the correct Gaffers Tape Rgambles.
It's different than duct tape and you should be able to peel it off without taking off the red paint on the soles.
The tape is only made for light wearing of your CL's however. If you're going to wear your CL"s a lot, I'd recommend getting the red rubber Vibram soles applied by a cobbler.

Thankyou!
They're for light, indoor use only!
https://www.fancy-tapes.co.uk/gaffer-tape Would that do the trick - it is more readily available in the UK than ICS Racers Tape!

It's hard to tell from the picture and description if this tape would work.
The Gaffers Tape I us is fabric tape and the red is almost a perfect match. It also peels off without removing the red paint which is critical. You could always try this tape and do a little "trial and error" but be careful...

I reckon its the dull finish gaffers tape that you pointed out
The rest are pretty much duct tape.
Like stilly suggested order it and do a trial and error. For reference i use this one but mine is not a perfect match but holds up well.

Yes I tried the shiny as well and the color doesn't quite match. I also found the shiny tape to be slippery if you wear it out in the rain or on polished wood or tile floors. Falling in CL's is the worst...
the cobbler i used takes mail ins and they are INSANELY QUICK. I dropped mine off on saturday to get vibramed and I received them in the mail yesterday. Super quick. let me know if want their info
There are so many great tips on how to protect your soles!
I don't know if anyone has already asked this, but can old rubber soles be removed and replaced? I bought some boots second-hand but I want to swap the textured rubber soles with something smoother. Has anyone had experience with their cobbler saying they can't do it?
