I just replaced the velcro on my BFs sidis. I bought just normal velcro with sticky stuff on the back. Then we used fingernails to peel off the old stuff (both sides) and cut the new stuff to match the old using high quality scissors. It has been 2 months now and its just beginning to peel a little. I'd say its a temporary fix but not one that can't be repeated....

Well, I am happy with my new red Sidis.
That seems like a lot of work for shoes (mine) that were five years old. Plus, I can't even thread a needle, which gives you an idea of the extent of my handwork skills.
The velcro on the new ones has an additional "catch" on the strap that looks like it will help in the deterioration issue.
