If I cut the toes off latex stockings, will I ruin them?

I find it really hard not being able to have my feet breathe, but I dont want them to just split and be ruined.

Snag tights do a footless range. I have a few. I wonder if you could cut & seal the ends with clear nail polish like you would a repair

You use nail polish in a repair?

I thought it would be like a tight weave

On stockings, I have, runs, holes, ladders etc stops them getting worse

I think it depends on how well you cut the latex, however I'd be tempted to fold over and glue the cut edge

This is your best bet

Most latex stockings will be between 0.33mm and 0.40mm thickness. If they are if good quality and the cut is clean they should not be ruined.
I have cut the toes of 0.40mm stockings and tad no issues over years of wear.

That would b a sexy look too

We might recommend a rotary cutting tool (if you don't have one, we use fiskars rotary tool) for cutting latex. Virtually no chance for a jagged cut that might lead to ripping.

Why would you cut them off?

Because they are tight latex thigh highs and it gets super hot and sweaty in the feet!

Okay and didn’t know that :

I should imagine they would fray and start looking terrible pretty quick. But if worn in a shoe it may work. If I were you I’d try it out.

What have you got to lose?

[go****]

Not positive but you could probably use heat nail polish remover or glue to stop the fray

I could ruin expensive latex? Lol

But you’ll find the answer to the key question.

Personally I would get two shop window dummy legs, cut the toe part off the stockings and put them on the legs. Then I’d use clear bathroom silicon mastic using a mastic gun on the frayed ends to prevent any further fraying. The mastic would be soft on the feet!

My feet aren’t my best feature otherwise I’d show you!😂

Wow - I just saw the price of those latex stockings - I wouldn’t use them to rob a bank.

It seems like half the people commenting on this don’t know the difference between Latex stockings and nylon stockings.

I was rather confused by the bank robbing comment. How on earth would you see?

[Al****]

You wouldn’t, that’s why I wouldn’t use them to rob a bank.
