Why don't they have a 3g branded version of the S-4300 in the USA?

They didn't patent "Velcro" They patented the use of a hook and loop system for use with interchangeable slide soles for bowling shoes.

Does anyone know if Dexter was actually the first to do this?  I remember the Linds changeable slide buttons.. not sure if they were held in with velcro.. I also don't recall if Linds only had the buttons or if they had a whole changeable sole.
