No but I only have owned for 6 months. Dexter is known for bring a good product. If you left in the car or hot climate that may be your problem.

I'm not a runner but I would suspect that if your PF starts to act up then the inserts need replacing. I would think that running would put more wear and tear on the inserts than walking so they would break down sooner.

Not that I know of. I haven't had my replacement blade crack any yet so it may have been something wrong with the hardening process they were using on the old blades which they fixed with the new ones. This is a total guess though. I can say though that I only hand wash my blade now so maybe that is a factor as well. The old one developed cracks pretty early and I've put this new one through a lot of use.

I've had mine for a while..I lent it one time, thought I lost the rubber piece, contacted them and they sent me a pair for free... On the day I received the replacements, I found the original ones...

They seem to hold up pretty well with heavy, daily abuse. I would give them 2 years tops, but hey it's way cheaper that what the doctor wanted to prescribe. Once you get the first pair, they will send you a promotion to buy more at a discounted rate....If they seem to work for you(give it a week to break it and notice the difference) get more so you minimize the wear on one. It also depends on you body weight, extent or extremity of use and type/purpose of footwear.

I'm not sure about bowling, I wear them when I mow the lawn on my riding lawn mower :)

I have 2 pair, one of which is about 3 years old. I've had no problems. Especially since my son uses them for school during computer class. Now if they have survived a bunch of 9 year olds I'm sure they are built ok.

I would not recommend this product. I purchased this item for My son who wears a size 14 shoe, it did not last ling. The weight of the sneaker takes a toll on the not so sturdy stand. I purchased this for myself as well. Lasted longer as my shoes aren't as heavy but it's at its wear and tear stage. If you are looking for something to last longer than 6 mos. look for something a little more durable

That sounds truly strange as these balls are very sturdy. Is it possible it was defective in some way? I did, however, purchase a bigger ball. So far, it has held up pretty well. Check how long you've had it to see if it is still covered under their warranty, and let Gaiam know about your experience.

I don't use it everyday and only change for new pair when it get extremely dirty! I would say one pair would last me half year~ It can be shorter for you since you are going to use it everyday!!

My husband is a right handed bowler and he likes them. I don't know if the shoes would make a difference for either hand though.

Hi James. I never had this problem. Give it another try. You can also go to a local sports store and they should have these. Hope this helps.

I want to say surgical steal and plastic for the balls. I don't really know, I've been wearing two of them for about 4 or 5 months with no infection issues. I've only had one ball break so far also. I hope this will help you.

My son got them for me for Christmas last December. I now need a new pair. The standard tips would only last one or two weeks before the bottoms/sides would either split off or the treads would wear down.

My husband has only had his a few weeks but has no problem. He suggests you return them for another pair. It could be the rubber.

I have had mine for about a year. I use them on a pair of shoes that I love, and pretty much wear every day, and they have held up well. I suspect that they'll outlast my fraying shoes at this point.

I got them for my daughter for basketball and they were great! except one already broke (I guess she falls too much lol) but will get a new one cause she likes them and are very comfortable!
