last fall I was looking into buying a shoe for my non-sliding foot as I'd worn a hole in it. It was recommended to me to get a skateboarding shoe for the extra durability and its been a gamechanger in terms of comfort and useability. Looking down the road having a full pair of custom shoes would be the next step
I tried the Velcro-brand "use this outdoors" product and was deeply disappointed in it. When I pull a slider off, it takes a handful of the hooks off the side of the velcro attached directly to the shoe. Within a few months, I had bald spots on the shoe's velcro. It's like the hooks were too long and too brittle. I switched back to one of the no-name brands I had bought on Amazon and I haven't seen this problem come back. The problem I had with the heel disengaging (not the velcro coming unglued, but the heel sliding off the velcro) might have been helped by putting velcro on the entire shoe, instead in two pieces. I will try this next time. Since I switched from the Dexter heels to a Dexter slider as my heel, I haven't had this problem come back, but then I have trouble stopping on slick conditions.
Thanks for this! Seems simple enough. Definitely going to follow these steps before next season. Sort of related question: I have major toe drag on my non-sliding foot. So much so that I regularly have to Shoe-goo the toe or else I eat away pretty deep into my shoe. Worst part is that if not cured fully it can leave a little residue on the lane the first game back. Obviously not good. Do you know of anyone ever gluing a specific material on the drag area of the toe so that it'll never wear through the shoe when dragging? I feel like I wear through the toe faster than the rest of the shoe get's too used. Would love to not have to keep replacing shoes just for that. Any tips are welcome...besides changing my throw to not drag, ha. Cheers
I have used two products that work: - glue some of the loop/soft velcro onto the area where you drag - glue some braided elastic onto the area where you drag The braided elastic provides slightly more brakes than the soft side of the velcro, but the soft side of the velcro wears down more slowly.

They do make a replaceable “toe cap” that might be a solution. I’ve never personally tried it but I do know they exist

You talk too much
I’ll try sign language next time?
