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.

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

So far they have held up. I am sure they must have been dropped at one time or another. If you have heard this, maybe try another brand. My grandsons have had them since December and haven't heard of any problems. If I hear of any, I will post it.

I bought a set for my husband for his birthday in September, and in about a month the driver side was ripping in a few places where it was seamed, I just thought maybe I got a defective one so I ordered a new set for Christmas and the same thing happened. They will fit if you want to take the risk. And they look really good when you first put them on. Enter at on risk lol.

hmmm. When a structure is built a jostle of any sort will make it collapse. So stepping on it in that way won't break it. We have kids not wear shoes in the house, so I can't vouch for what would happen if they were jumped on with shoes. But kids in socks step on them all the time, with no breakage. They are thin, about 1/4 inch thick with plastic bracing inside. Breakage is really not an issue. This is an absolutely wonderful open ended toy.

No, I have not had that happen. I would send them back or exchange them. They are definately worth it. I swear by these after many years of problems.

I'm sorry, I really don't know. It might be cheaper to just buy a new pair. Good luck in your search.

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.

No these shoes have special soles designed for the bowling alley. They are a felt like material under the ball of the foot that slides over the wood floors in bowling. There is also no real "tread" that you would see in a normal tennis shoe. I think the felt portion would wear our very quickly walking on pavement etc. That being said there is nothing really stopping you from wearing them as normal shoes. Mine are fairly stiff though, so I can't imagine them being comfortable for much walking. As others have said, if you do wear them as normal shoes.

Don't know for sure but I'd say it's very doubtful. These spikes are made for vintage golf shoes made 20 or more years ago. If your Dexter shoes have spikes that have metal posts threaded to screw into the sole of the shoe, then they will fit. I believe you will find that that is not the case.

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 broke a bowl too. You can't order a replacement, as far as I know. I looked and looked, but I ended up ordering another whole set,

I have 2 pair, one of which is about 3 years old. I've had no problems. Especially since my son uses them for school during computer class. Now if they have survived a bunch of 9 year olds I'm sure they are built ok.

My son got them for me for Christmas last December. I now need a new pair. The standard tips would only last one or two weeks before the bottoms/sides would either split off or the treads would wear down.

The same thing happened to mine. I contacted the company and they quickly sent me a new pair. Apparently the glue that they were using wasn't strong enough. But, the company has been great about making it right.

I gave them as a gift to our three year old grandson; he skates in the kitchen floor right now, but I am sure he will be able to use them outdoors when the weather gets warmer; they seem to be made out of a hard plastic, but for a three year old, out door play would not be out of order, he loves them; I hope this helped;
