Really Need ABS Tour Ultra #5 Oil Leather Sole
« on: July 23, 2003, 07:01:24 AM »
I desparately need a replacement #5 Oil Leather (Dark Brown) sole in a RH size 11 or larger (I can trim it) for the ABS Tour Ultra's.  Dyno-Thane does not sell the #5 sole by itself like the other soles and heels.  The only way to get a replacement of that sole is to buy another pair of Tour Ultra's which I cannot afford to do.  I was wondering if anyone out there has a pair of these shoes and has never used that particular sole and would be willing to part with it.  I have tried all the other soles and the cleat sole, but nothing comes close to the #5 Oil Leather sole.  I am willing to pay $20 shipped for it as long as it hasn't been used.  I think that is a fair price since Buddies sells each sole for $13.  Please let me know if you can help.  Thanks.

I have spoken to Phil from Dyno-Thane and he said the only way to get that sole was to buy another pair of shoes.  They don't sell replacements for that sole he said.  My pro shop doesn't even stock anything Dyno-Thane so I am out of luck there also.  I bought my shoes from Buddies.

I've just e-mailed Phil about a shoe set that I have which is incomplete, yet it has the #5 sole.  

I'm not sure of the plans for this particular item, but if it's something that can parted out, I'm sure Phil will make it happen.  Let's wait for him to chime in here.

Did you lose or destroy your existing sole?  Just curious.

new guy, I posted my inquiry on here so we never spoke on the phone.

bamaster, I have used my Tour Ultra's so much that the sole is starting to wear out.  Plus, dropping the shoes in a mud puddle didn't help much either!

Phil, I just got off the phone with Drew from the Dyno office and she is sending that sole out.  $15 was a small price to pay!  You guys are great!

P.S. - I also think The Thing is one of the greatest balls I've ever thrown!

Keep up the great work!
