been battling back and forth with them for a week now.....
They want me to trade DOWN and get a pr of sst6 which I was happy with.... from the pr I had before.... I will end up paying $140 for a $106 pr of shoes.. not right in my opinion....at all.
I just asked them to refund or exchange for a different size.
Lets see what happens. If they don't bite either way I will have a pr of size 12s up for sale here..... they did offer to exchange at one point. if I can't get the 10s to resell, then I will have to get the 12s and take a loss on them.

I bought the SST8 to be able to switch hands bowling and not have to carry 2 pr of shoes.... not happening..... and she does not seem willing to do what it takes to keep me happy. I asked for a REFUND or a pr of SSt8s in size 10, I have not gotten a response as of yet.

I know of one other person that is having th same problem as me.
Not sure why these soles are wearing so quick, the only thing I can think of is bad design/material.

I sent them one on tuesday evening and have recieved NO response.
This is after repeated emails discussing the issue, that did come thru in a timely manner... I would think if I were waiting on someones response I would flag their email address and solve the issue at hand as quickly as possible, in an effort to make the issue as painless as possible, thereby MAYBE, just MAYBE keeping a customer......Sarcasm off*
she asked what I would like to do, I replied back SST8s in a different size or a refund.....

I hope you get your issue with Dexter solved soon, and congrats on your new comfy shoes Buzzhead.. I would be willing to try Tour Ultras if the chick versions weren't so UGLY.

After using several pairs of Dexters, the last being SST5, I just got sick of the poor quality. I have had the same pair of ABS Tour Ultras for going on 7 yrs. Still fit and feel great.
Dexter shoes are like Ebonite balls, """They just don't last"""

I actually was worried about the width so I held them against one another and guess what....... they are the SAME.
I WILL be buying a New pair soon.... Nuttin wrong with the ones I got, I will put them up for backup.....
As soon as the replacements come in they are being shipped to my mate Rich in aussyland...... I want abosultely nothing to do with them, mostly because of the customer service.. or lack thereof...

I loved the feel of the Tour Ultras but I hated my slide choices being slide a mile or stop on a dime. That shoe was just to flat for my taste, felt good though!

Otherwise, they have held up well and you can adjust the soles to get the slide combination you need.

I was very hesitant to order b/c I have a wide foot. The Tour Ultras do stretch a bit and I had zero discomfort. Very light and definitely stable!
