Thank you for the awesome responses! Appreciate everyones' insight!
They still sell shoe goo? lol.Anyone else try shoe goo for this?
We too use Ringor's and Turf Toe. Through trial and error, then finally finding the correct video to emulate, we figured out the best way to apply the Turf Toe. I was applying it too high, where the hole was, and not getting enough low where the actual problem was.
Then one time I got it low enough, but put it on too thick. Talk about messing up a pitcher's drag foot! I had to sand it down then everything was good again.
Even with the two together, it still wears out from dragging. Yes, she should not drag so much on the side of her foot. Easier said than done.
My daughter drags on the side. The dip, as I know of it, is more of the front. Front is not an issue ( I wish it were, though)Tell her to get it right or she pays for her next pair of cleats -
Ringors are fine if they fit. I’m more about DD finding a proper fitting cleat that she’s comfortable in. Then we add turf toe or whatever from there.
The local Play It Again does a pitchers toe dip that’s really clean and even. $20-$25 and so far DD hasn’t worn through it.

I have not tried epoxy. She is wearing white shoes now. The last batch of Tuff Toe had a greenish tint to it so I did not put it on. I wrote the company. They never responded. So if I can find an epoxy that will look okay on white, I might do that.We dealt with the same. Hence my comment/joke about making her up for her next set of cleats. It’s only been relatively recent that we finally corrected the issue with DD.
You are right…dip doesn’t help the side. Turf toe, shoe goo, or epoxy are your best bets.
I did find that the epoxy applicators that work like a syringe do really well. It doesn’t last as long as say turf toe but overall did surprise me for how well it lasted. Then, once it started to wear down, I’d just apply more and be fine.
