 I love the Tour Ultras!  My non-slid toe cap is getting worn too, and I use the shoes several times a week and had them for a couple of years. Other than the toe cap, the shoes still look new. Because of my slide, the tip of my shoe drags on the approach, so I just had to use a little super glue to fix it because it was starting to split a little at the seam. Fixed it a few months ago and haven't had any problems so far.  I will not hesitate to get another pair after these get warn out.  I might just buy a new toe cap and take the shoe to a shoe repair shop to replace it if I decide not to get a new pair.

I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.

 The 3Gs and the SST8s are different style shoes, and you need to choose based on your individual needs. The argument that SST8s have widespread issues are bogus. I've logged between 1500 - 2000 games on my current pair, and there is minimal visible wear.

I went with the Dexters because my feet need more support than the 3Gs provide. But to each his own. Try on both and make an educated decision.

I bought both and like the Dexters much better..
