I was wondering if anyone else has run into a similar issue with their sport deluxe shoes. I recently purchased a pair, and within a week, the shoes started to tear near where the shoelace anchors are located. I contacted 3G, they asked me to email them a picture, which I did. They apologized and sent out a replacement pair of shoes. Excellent service. Being that its the summer, I am not bowling that much, but the replacement pair is tearing in the exact same spot. I have probably used them 6 times since I have had them. Is anyone else having the same issue? This is my first 3G product, and I want to know if this lack of durability is a common issue with their shoes.
