More Mizunos with fragile uppers

Previously, I have blogged about the Mizuno's uppers being prone to tearing. The Mizuno Wave Impetus (photos below) has this problem too. Below are different coloured variants of the same model. The red shoe is in worse shape than the blue one because the former has been worn longer. Again there is still plenty of life left in the outsole despite the torn mesh.

An attempt to patch the hole. Sew a piece of cloth over the hole but can't tell how long will this hold up.
