That looks like water damage. I believe (judging by the logo on the tongue) those shoes were made prior to 2003. Where did you buy them? Just wandering if they aren't damaged from Hurricane Katrina or from another flood damaged area and sold to you with out you knowing. I have a pair with the same logo I bought in 2002 and they still look like brand new. I bowl on average of 5 times a week not including tournaments. Their logo changed to ABS in 2003/04 then to Dynarooz last year (05/06).
You may have bought them last year but they were made atleast a couple years ago. Good luck, it doesn't hurt to ask.
