Como dizer "Pôr meia sola no sapato" em inglês

"I had to mend/patch a new hole in (the sole of) my right/left shoe"?

TAPS = I understand "taps" as being the metal pieces sometimes placed on the bottom of the shoe (the heel and/or the toe). Sometimes they are worn to make the shoe sole last longer, and sometimes they are present for the loud noise they make. "Tap dancing" is a form of dancing which uses the sound of taps to make a rhythm (sapatear).
