I tend to agree with bobito... if you wore a hole in the shoe, the shoes are probably worn out. It sounds like you have tried shoo goo type repairs and been unhappy with the results.

Shoe repair places still do exist (check yelp for reviews). I've been pleasantly surprised at how cheaply some of these guys will repair shoes. Though on the flip I have been less than happy with how long the repairs have lasted. In my experience repairs are not as strong as the original shoe. You wore out that spot for a reason... ipso facto the repair will wear out sooner.
