My 13 yo has increased her off season throwing in each of the last three years. Couple that with that fact that she is getting bigger, stronger and dragging harder, the new cross trainers we purchased a month ago are coming apart at the edges of the toe where the sole meets the shoe quicker than ever.
I'm going to look for Shoo Goo today (if they still sell it) and try that, though I'm not confident I'll be able to get the needed lasting compression for the glue to thoroughly dry.
So my question is, has anyone else run into this and is there a make or style (tennis shoe?) that can minimize this effect during indoor pitching practice? I guess what I'm looking for is toe-protection much like on pitching cleats or at least a shoe with a wider sole at the toe. Seems like cross trainers these days, while good for all other indoor softball activity (running, fielding, hitting) do not hold up well for my toe-draggin' daughter!
Any recommendations out there?
Thanks and Happy New Year to All!
