Any of you toe draggers out there who use these shoes have the dexter issue of tearing through soles on the non sliding foot? I was totally ready to order them and then realized they were interchangeable on both feet and got nervous...help!!

Storm will have a 800 series shoe coming out for next season that will be more akin to Dexter's SST6 line where they have added flex bars on the fixed push off sole.
I don't recall anything being said about a solution or issue relating to the 900 series shoes at the recent Sync seminar though.

I had a problem with these shoes since week 2 of owning them. I tried the powerstep but it eventually tore up so now I am gluing the sole on with shoe goo. Other than that problem they are in my opinion more comfortable than the sst8s and work well.

The Storm shoes are built for them by Dexter....so.....

So they r terrible i had them for 3 league nights before the non slide sole started.to come off i tried to fix it a few times before i took it to the mall and had a shoe repair place sew the sole on permanently. Then i sold them on craigs list and got the new sst6's. Haven't had any problem with them yet.

Matt I am a toe dragger and am having no trouble with non slide foot. The toe guard is holding up just fine with a few light scuff marks. I was having trouble with SST-8's and the non sliding sole coming up at the very edge of the shoe. So far not even a slight peel back at all on the Storm shoe.
The only problem that I am having is the bolts on the back are starting to come loose and peel back. I am bad at sliding my feet into my shoes with out tieing the laces, so that probably explains that.
All in all, they are more comfortable to me than the SST-8's. People will say your a staffer so you should say that, but staffers are under no obligation to wear the shoes. Storm's shoe came in a wider sole for me which means I could go down a size compared to the Dexter which makes my foot more snug

I just dropped my sst8s because of that. I replaced my push off sole and within a month the toe of it would never stick to the shoe.

Guys, they are basically SST8 but with a little more comfort and added soles. I have a pair of SST8 SE and very happy with them so far.
-
Something I tried as did some other SST 8 users in my area, was to move the non-slide sole down slightly. I dropped mine about 3/4 of an inch from the edge and it seemed to stay down better afterwards.
I understand the need to have both soles interchangable, but have had nothing but issues with the SST 8. So far so good with Storm's shoe
