It is a rubber string that is pushed through the clean hole in a U shape and the cut off. Sold by various car/bike shops and CPC catalogue. I doubt that this is suitable for cheap plastic boots through it may function as a simple plug for the sole.

The best product I've found is a rubber boot patch from www.rubberbootbandage.com . They're peel and stick so you don't have to mess with glue. You just press it into place and your boots are ready for action. They're designed for rubber boots, so you won't have to worry about them getting brittle or cracking. They're made of rubber and conform to your boot very well. Best of luck, I hope this helps. Boot Doc I do concrete work and have to repair my rubber concrete boots often.

It's waterproof, reasonably hardwearing, and stays flexible when dry. Should be slapped on pretty thick and well worked into the cracks or punctures, then left to dry very thoroughly before it goes near water.
