I still play and it's honestly rare to see.They look like old school fitba boots and a bit bland in my humble opinion.
Nobody buys? ?

You must be a player wearing them ?

Wow. You must either be obsessive about cleaning them, or haven't managed to get a game ?
That's because Sketchers use the PINS spike mounting system, which is absolutely not fit for purpose. The spikes are held in by two tiny little plastic "wings" that break off far too easily. I can't fathom how its designers ever thought it made sense.Realising that three of the spikes on your five month old pair of Skechers are broken.
When your playing partners automatically say "good shot", "nice strike", or "good pick up" (by the way, WTF does that mean?) as soon as you hit the ball on every shot, when actually it was a terrible strike and then you watch it slice into the trees.
Thing is, most often it is you alone who knows what you were looking to achieve and the sort of strike you looking to do to make the ball achieve that objective.When your playing partners automatically say "good shot", "nice strike", or "good pick up" (by the way, WTF does that mean?) as soon as you hit the ball on every shot, when actually it was a terrible strike and then you watch it slice into the trees.
I'm not sure, but it's the ends of the little spikes that are breaking. I think the material just isn't strong enough. (Photo attached.) Just annoying - I've tried to contact Skechers to see what they say about it. Worst of all, I just found out my missus bought them through Sports Direct who can be a bit of a pain to deal with.That's because Sketchers use the PINS spike mounting system, which is absolutely not fit for purpose.

To be honest, that's not going to cause you any problems with grip..I wouldnt worry about it and if you are then just get some replacementsI'm not sure, but it's the ends of the little spikes that are breaking.

I just think it's shoddy that they've only lasted 5 months and three of them have broken like that? Wasn't going to bin them or anything if I don't get a decent response.To be honest, that's not going to cause you any problems with grip..I wouldnt worry about it and if you are then just get some replacements
Not worth the time or effort trying to get some softspikes out of SD.
Do you change your shoes in the car park or use them at the Driving Range? Unfortunately those spikes do not do well on tarmac etc, I found they didn’t last too long if subjected to too much concrete etc.I just think it's shoddy that they've only lasted 5 months and three of them have broken like that?
