Second season with mine, don't know that they have stretched much, but the certainly aren't as tight as when I first got them.

Anyone had a problem with the tread on the ridges coming loose. My first pair only lasted two seasons.

I have had my Faux Patent Leather Zigs over a year now and they have not stretched at all.

On the tread of the shoe? If so, then yes.

Only two seasons? How long should shoes last?

If you listen to some experts, really one season is usually enough. But I guess it would depend on how much you use that particular shoe.

Peace

I've also found that two seasons is about the norm for officiating shoes of any kind.

What else are you guys using besides referee-specific shoes? I have the patent Zigs now but I want something non-patent. I might just go with the regular Zigs but I'm looking for other ideas too.
