I haven't worn my yet. I had to order a half size larger because they run small. We are going to go bowling in the fall. Seems everyone is so busy in the summer. That is to bad the soles cracked in half. I hope it doesn't happen to mine. Good luck with new bowling shoes to replace yours!

Just got a new pair of Dexter bowling shoes. Last pair was Dexter and lasted a long time. However I seem to remember a friend having that same problem and I believe they were Dexter bowling shoes as well. Hope they replace them for you.

No but I only have owned for 6 months. Dexter is known for bring a good product. If you left in the car or hot climate that may be your problem.

Probably not as well. I had cracks where my feet rested on a vinyl coach which elevates my feet and the cracks keep coming back. I have treated it twice. but, it is easy to use.

probably... but depending on the material of shoes, it could possibly damage wear down the finish.

I haven't had that experience with them. I've walked on lots of concrete surfaces with no damage done at all. Hope that helps!

Haven't experienced any problems with mine, maybe you've been unlucky with a faulty pair.I am currently waiting for a new pair I've bought.Cheers

I must agree with some other posts regarding cracking, etc. I am currently experimenting with "cloth" covered vertical blinds. So far, there is no problem. I would take my shoes to a shoe repair shop and ask them what you should use to protect your shoes. Good luck.

Hello, I did not think so, they might need a little breaking in but I did not have any problems bowling with them, but I am not that good eithere. At first I thought they were tight but they actually fit snug but not uncomfortably snug.

The first time that happened to me as well. I used water to make the leather more playable at first. Now after a few months they are broken in and work much better. They will be tight the first few times out but moisture makes them better after a few uses.

Yeah mine seemed to have ben worn pretty quick. I turned them around a bit to use them up evenly... But yeah those will need replacing ASAP

I had the same problem and I purchased a pair from Target. They'll replace your first pair for free.

No. But I should mention that if the rubber around the toe does tear so I doubt they would last long if you did that. (Plus it might look a little odd)

Not that I know of. I haven't had my replacement blade crack any yet so it may have been something wrong with the hardening process they were using on the old blades which they fixed with the new ones. This is a total guess though. I can say though that I only hand wash my blade now so maybe that is a factor as well. The old one developed cracks pretty early and I've put this new one through a lot of use.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

They seem to hold up pretty well with heavy, daily abuse. I would give them 2 years tops, but hey it's way cheaper that what the doctor wanted to prescribe. Once you get the first pair, they will send you a promotion to buy more at a discounted rate....If they seem to work for you(give it a week to break it and notice the difference) get more so you minimize the wear on one. It also depends on you body weight, extent or extremity of use and type/purpose of footwear.

I have been wearing mine in my tennis shoes and they are worn nearly everyday. I received my pair about 2 months ago and still in great shape. I would say replace them if they start feeling flat under your feet or pain returns. You can check their website too for more specific information. I love mine though! :)

I haven't tried. They seem to be so very fragile. If you try it let us know what happened. Judie Johnson

This may sound like a stupid question, but have you changed your running shoes or do you need new ones. I own a gym and a lot of people come in with expensive clothes, but cheap shoes. You need the padding of good shoes. Even when they look good after 6 months, they still need to be replaced if you do a lot of running/walking. Does the running belt appear to be loose? If so, there is an adjustment in the front (I'm not sure where, but I know I did it with my older machine when I put on a new running belt. That's about all of my knowledge. I did have a problem with the hydraulic lift not coming down when. When I called the company, they sent me one immediately - free. My electrician told me I need to vacuum the motor once a month because of all the dust where I live.
