I am a right handed bowler and though I love these TPU-X shoes the one problem I am having is the right shoe sole tends to keep peeling back on it. I just replaced it the second time and the new one is already starting to lose it's grip and once it loses it's grip it will not hold and tends to catch sometimes in my shot. Not sure what I can do about this. I really like the shoes but I can see this as an ongoing problem.

I'll give that a try but I may have to replace it again because it won't hold now because it's peeling from the side and not the tip.

I had the same problem the edge of the sole would drag and the velcro would no longer stick to the shoe,

KR sent me a replacement and said to just fudge it over a little away from the edge to stop it.

I thought I could do something better.

I really like the shoes beside of the sole annoyance.  I'll probably pick up another pair to stick on the shelf before they go away for good.  I'm disappointed that the new Hammer and KR Strikeforce shoe of similar design feature "microfiber" (PLASTIC!!!) uppers as opposed to leather.

 
If you can't find the TPX-U anymore, check out the Pyramid HPX version of the shoe:

They have leather uppers and cost $100 bucks. Not a bad deal. Ive had mine for over a year, and I'm very happy with them. The weakness in these shoes is the flimsy construction of the non-slide (trailing) toe. They have that plastic material around the toe that eventually falls apart if you drag at all. My solution was to have a shoe repair shop cement a strip of non-streak black leather around the offending toe. It looks like a natural extension of the shoe, and it's held up for several hundred games. Others have tried velcro instead of leather, but it's not nearly as durable.   
 
They are good shoes and worth making modifications for durability.
