yea i have a pair of the 1st batch sst8s and last season, the sole on the right foot started to split..... and when i started practicing a few weeks ago, the sole split some more........
I've resorted to using my SST8 left shoe for sliding and a old SST6 for my right foot.
my pro-shop guy said "dexter" fixed it, by making the velcro go heel to toe instead of stopping half way. but he said, when the sst8's first started having issues, he wouldnt even recommend them to anyone, he'd push the SST6's or 5's.
