text: I coach a high school baseball team and had my last pair of turf shoes for two years. I was dissapointed when I ended up going back to them half way through the season because these shoes began to fall apart. While the shoe fits and looks great, I found that the sole started to peel off shortly after my fist time using them. I used some super glue to repair, however as the weather heated up, it seamed as though the sole of the shoe simply could not handle the heat of the turf. For those who aren't familiar, the temperature of synthetic turf surfaces are often much warmer than the temperature of the air. the black rubber pellets in turf attract the heat and insulate it, making for a very hot surface. In about a month, I had large pieces of the sole missing and just went back to using my old Mizuno shoes. It was very unfortunate because I loved the look and feel of the shoe. It just did not have the durability needed to endure baseball exercises on a synthetic turf surface.
