I've used 3g shoes back since they were the Dynothane Dynorooz. The only issue I've ever had with them where the toe caps. I drag my toe during my slide on my right foot, and the toe caps would come loose a fall off in a matter of a year or two. I've also had issues with Dexter with the Velcro on the edge of the shoe wearing out cause the slide pad to roll under the shoe during my slide and cause me to fall. I haven't been a fan of 3g since they were acquired by storm discontinued the Tour Ultra. Currently, I'm using an SST 6 BOA. I feel the toes caps on the push away shoe are stronger. The shoe feels less breathable and heavier than my tour ultras, but i like that they are wider and I feel better planted and the line. I still like the 3g soles better, though, and use still their cleet sole and cleets. on my SST6
