3G Tour Ultras, Sport Ultras and Sport Deluxes have been backordered for quite some time, but theyre in stock now!
Here's a copy of our 2014 3G Shoe Catalog:

and here's where you can find information about them on our website:

Any word on when my distributor will have them? They're still on back order through them and they have no expected date of delivery for me yet. I've waited 5 months so far, so I can wait longer, just curious. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Thomas, have had Tour Ultras for years and just love them. I have been looking for the original shoe laces for some time to no avail. Can you hook me up?

Send me an email at thomasr@900global.com to remind me and I'll take a look in the warehouse.
Thanks!

Since you're here, I would really like to see Tour Ultras made available in wide widths.

Is there any way that the toe-cap can be made stronger? I rip through those things like a kid using an eraser on test day. Although the process to change the cap is not really that difficult, the caps do not fit properly. I wear a size 10, but the cap is not made for this size, leaving gaps. It also doesn't hold like the original, so within a short time, the new cap was coming off.
How about developing a toe cap protector, kind of like the power-step device that Dexter makes? i'd much rather use one of those and replace it as needed than to have to change the cap and it not fitting well.
Being that the 3G's were out of stock for such a long time, and I needed shoes, I purchased the Brunswick TPU-X. Believe me, IMHO, the 3G Tour Ultras are much better. After about 3 weeks of use, I am still have some issues as because the toe-cap TPU material is much softer than the material that 3G uses. On the very first day of use, there was noticable material rub away on the toe-cap of the TPU-X. If I didn't stick the loop side of velco on the cap (which does protect the rubber but messes me up because I drag my toe as brakes) the cap would be destroyed after a couple of weeks of bowling.

I have the same issue as Artimust with my 3Gs toecap. The replacement is way too big/loose and continually comes off or rips in half. Since I put some velcro on top of it, it seems to be holding up better (so far, so good).

Toe caps are sold in three different sizes that coincide with shoe size ranges. The Medium toe cap fits Men's sizes 6-8, Large fits 8.5-11 and Extra Large fits 11.5-13. Perhaps you are getting the wrong sized toe cap by mistake? If not, I'll look into this a little with our toe cap manufacturer.
Thanks,

No, I got the recommend sized toe cap, it just doesn't fit right.

Same here. Ordered the one that was recommended on the site I ordered it from and it had too much room on the sides (big gap).
