如何修复鞋底的洞

I wonder if there is any tip for a sole that has a hole all the way through. I tried something similar like this guid but it was quickly worn out. Maybe if I reinforce with duct tape and build the hole up from inside out, then make it a 2 step progress and do the outside first. Let dry for 2 days and then approach the same from the inside. Hmm such a shame certain brands have weak soles
