Some would suggest Shoe Goo, but I'm not sure if it would repair something that large for very long.

It is! I had just been complaining about my shoes and how I always had trouble tieing them tight enough. I guess the shoes decided to say F U to me.

But if you only bowl one league a week and very few tournaments, get the cheap ones. :D

Yep, high quality shoes will solve that. Have had my dynarooz for 7 years now and they look new. I stilll have a 20 year old pair of Linds Classics that could still be used.

Post by: BallReviews-Removed0385 on April 18, 2014, 01:30:52 AM: I still use Linds Classics because I got tired of buying Dexters every year or two. I found a great insole that makes mine every bit as comfortable, and they last FOREVER.

On my Dexters I rarely changed the heel or sole, so for me it was overkill. Too each their own, though.
