I just took a dremel to the bottom for more traction. I'll post up how they hold up and if the traction mod worked or not.

1st lesson: the melted rubber will not come off your shirt.

Guys in our crew have em. They pretty solid.

how do they feel kicking into footholds, and hows the arch support on them? i ran wrestling shoes the past 2 years and have hurt my foot twice because they have no support in the arch, or ankle.

Friend bought a pair back in 2013. They lasted a year and fell apart.

I get about 3-4 years on boots, but I honestly do not ride as much as I did in 2006. Back then, I would get about 1.5-2 years on Slippery Boots. Honesty, by 1 year, they would be something starting to comes loose, or shoe laces fraying. etc

These are version 3 so hopefully they will last more than a year. Havent had them in water yet to test. I ground the areas under the balls of the feet. They come looking like the area under the heels.

mcdog i have a freak like you, have you tried them on and how do they fit into the footholds.

I'm in the middle of turfing now. They will fit perfectly. Lol

Very clever sir!

One day at the lake. Showing some serious wear. I cut the torn straps and used a blowtorch on the frayed ends and on the threads. Longevity isn't looking good. I may have just pissed away $100. I'll update again after the next ride. They held good traction though. I only came out once and it was on someone else's ski with a 1200 dasa.

That's a lot of wear for a day of wrenching...

 

[McDog]

I wrenched for 10 minutes during the Depalma video. Sheesh.

Update: After ride one I also realized that the liner had separated from the foot pad insert.

After ride 2-5 they seem to be holding up ok other than foot pad inserts starting to tear. I will ad that the zippers will not work if your foot is sandy.
