My toe cap wore out on my Dynorooz so got a new one. What is the best way to get the old on off and what do I need to put the new one on?

THAT was a pain in the arse. But thank you, I did it. I thought I was going to destroy my shoe at first. But it looks good now.

That's a good idea mike...didn't even think about it. I'll have to try it with my next one. I loaded the glue on pretty good on mine though, and it seems to be holding up real well. I've had it on for a little over a year now.

Brian-That's what i thought when I was doing it too...thought i was going to put a few holes in my shoe. wish it were a little easier, but i guess it's more important that the toe cap stays on once it's on.

"Nothing Hits Like A Hammer"

"super glue will not work" is a pretty strong statement considering mine has been rock solid for over a year bowling 3 leagues per week...year round. maybe i would've known a little better if ANY type of instructions AT ALL came with the toe cap. making instructions only available online is a little ridiculous don't you think?

Hopefully things have changed and instructions come with the toe caps now. from what i remember it was a plastic bag with some cardboard stapled to the top that says d/t replacement toe cap.

p.s.-in re-reading this a little, I think it would be easy to mis-read it and take it as quite rude. trust me, that's not how it's meant at all. just a "customer review" type of thing i guess. lol.

"Nothing Hits Like A Hammer"

It took me quite awhile to take it off. The top of it was too bad but underneath it I took a flathead and a hammer and finnally got it off and didn't damage the shoe. The replacement wasn't quite as “flush” as the one that was one it so it overlaps a little. I used a ton of really good superglue so I doubt it will go anywhere.

I really like the idea of the toecap. Aside from Linds that are made correctly from the pushoff foot, my last pair of Dexter SST 6’s got destroyed because of my foot dragging on the release and the rubber came apart and the top of the shoe got pretty scuffed up. So getting these Dynorooz was half the reason I wanted these shoes.

Very good idea by whoever at this company came up with and it is saving my shoe however, seems like there could be an easier way of taking it off like using some good Velcro. Really, the best way would to have it screwed on or machined in and instead of using rubber use nylon for the outer edge. That way it would last a long time and you would have no reason in replacing it.
