I just bought a pair. Is there a chart as to what the soles and heels do? I would like to know what each does in combination with each other. How do you know what to start with and what changes do you make?

See profile for arsenal. Links to PICs and Descriptions are posted. I have a few Pics posted of each ball.

Is there not information provided in the shoe box?

here are the ways you can set-up your slide with your tour ultra's:


soles( most slide to least )

felt( dark grey )   optional
chrome leather( light tan )
deerskin( cream )
backskin( orange )
oiled leather( brown )
there is also a cleat sole that is made of backskin. there are cleats or little discs that you insert in the cleat sole for a customized slide.


heels( most slide to least )

leather
flat hard rubber( grey )    optional
flat normal rubber( white )
grooved rubber
rippled rubber    optional
there is also an adjust-a-heel you can order. it's a white rubber heel with three little leather strips that insert in the front edge of the heel to customize your slide.


it's because of these options to customize your slide that the 3G tour ultra's are the top of the line shoe.

because there are round holes in the cleat sole( see photo at www.900global.com ) there isn't as much of the backskin material in contact with the approach as you would think. by trying out various combinations of cleats( discs ) you can make your slide tailor-made. i don't use it as the deerskin sole and the hard rubber heel work great for me. i won't go back to dexter shoes as i could never find the right set-up for a great slide. i liked my linds exxxtras but their customer service really upset me over a trivial little matter. the 3G tour ultra'as are the best....the sport elite cabretta's are a close second.
