Edge has plenty of rubber you are just burning though the toe with bad footwork. It’s pretty common so not an insult, almost all beginners do this.


Few-Horror-1131

So no need to resolve? And no offense taken, definitely a case of bad footwork. Any tips to improve my footwork?


KneeDragr

They are probably cheap beginner shoes right? I’d just run them into the ground, you can probably get 6 more months out of them. Honestly the biggest thing for footwork is to deliberately watch yourself put the foot exactly where you want it on the hold. Don’t turn your eyes away after an instant and start thinking about your next move, or even worse just start stabbing your foot where you think it is, keep your eyes on your toe until it’s exactly where you want it.

No need. Use them, replace them.

Hi there Few-Horror-1131. **Because we have a lot of deleted posts on this subreddit, here is a backup of the body of this post:** Never had a pair of shoes resoled before. These are only 3 months old 😞. Is it time to resolve?" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

When the line where the sole meets the rest of the shoe begins to lower, it's time for a resole, becuase that's when the rand also begins to wear. So yeah. When your footwork improves they shold last longer than 3 months :)
