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.

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

I don't know the specifics, I haven't coached or been close to the game in a couple years. My kid hit with someone else's 2014 and a 2013. She loved the 2014 so I got one while I could. Doesn't seem like they are breaking like a couple years ago.

Older model would last about a year in often used walking shoes, then you would notice it starts losing cushioning. New model is not good at all from the start and since I just got it can not say how long these will last. I will look for another brand for my next pair.

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.

That sounds truly strange as these balls are very sturdy. Is it possible it was defective in some way? I did, however, purchase a bigger ball. So far, it has held up pretty well. Check how long you've had it to see if it is still covered under their warranty, and let Gaiam know about your experience.

You got a bad pair. I don't have this problem with the pair I bought last year. If you can return it or get ir replaced, I'd suggest you do that.

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! :)

The outside of your shoe is leather, but is the lining leather or vinyl. If the lining is vinyl it may have gone back to original shape. Are you using a stretching spray, which is probably mostly alcohol. Try again , with a spray, leave in a bit longer. Some other consumers say 5 days. My shoes are all Itslian leather lined, sorry, they stay stretched. I count the number of twists I do on a shoe. If you have to repeat process , give another twist or so. Good luck.

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

Yes, absolutely. A friend also bought a pair and has had the same issue. I woudnt touch them.

Yes, this has happened to my son's also. A small piece of the plastic broke off. I am not buying another pair. He took the piece off from the other side and brought it to school where they have a 3=D printer and they are going to reproduce the piece for him to hopefully fix the broken side.

I haven't, and the reason why is because the cost of shipping the old pair back, plus the cost of shipping the replacement to me, is too close to the price of just buying a new pair to be worth it. I use them at the gym and just accept that they are a product that will wear out and need to be replaced.

I buy multiple, and rotate them daily. I also insert and remove them from the shoes after each wearing so the inserts and the shoes properly air out. Every couple months I'll throw out the oldest and add a few new to the rotation (I write the dates on them). Maybe a bit excessive, but doing so the inserts last many months, and my shoes "forever".

Yes, the slide is great. I've noticed that since wearing these badboys, my approach is more accurate... Not to mention the support and overall comfort of this shoe is phenom, AND I'm seeing a lot of novice/average bowlers rocking them at the lanes now. So this is a really good buy. Sorry for the delayed response btw

I wish I could help, but I've never had a problem with the blade cracking. Perhaps, there was a flaw in the one you had.
