Not sure if it would be the good thing to do but I THINK you could fill it with epoxy that's what they use to repair bases. Your best bet would be to go to your local shop so they fix it.

Nah you're right it's p-tex but I think they use epoxy for the bigger holes in the base unless I'm mistaken the word.

replacent p tex doesnt hold in any area that flexes epoxy falls out after a lot of abuse.

evo did an absoloutely great job with mine but underfoot just flexes too much to hold anything and it will slowly fall out over time, like so

Is there a gap on the base? Or is it just between the edge and the sidewall?

Take them to a shop - they should be able to hammer and anchor (epoxy) them back into place for you, it doesn't look that bad.
