sst6 Le question
« on: August 23, 2009, 07:47:19 AM »
Shoes are about 6 months old and I have torn up the non slide foot toe. I normally drag my non slide toe. I use it as a brake. Im going 2 call Dexter on monday 2 replace them again but I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem. Has anybody found a solution 2 problem.

I've seen bowlers trim a portion of the rubber away carefully and glue a leather strip in it's place, but that might not help in your case.

it might just do the trick . I have noticed on the newer shoes that there is a peice of leather or something over the toe if not a rubber toe cap

I had that problem also. I took my shoe to an old fashioned shoe repair shop and they cut out a section of the worn out toe and replaced it with a new section of rubber. no problems 1 year later. Total repair cost $7.00.
