Shoes are in good condition and I wonder what type of glue to use to fix them. I’m one of those people who would prefer not to throw away good items. Less waste in the local landfill too.

I guess all super-minimal shoes have an increased risk of delamination, but I hope this doesn’t scare NB away from trying to make it work in the future.

Then my MT110’s have started to tear in a few places and even the sole of the shoe is coming apart(that in about the same amount of time). My sense is that those shoes are made so lightweight at the expense of actually being durable. I won’t buy NB trail shoes again until I see a superior quality product and from what I understand the 00 have an even thinner material than their predecessors. What’s the point of being that light if it just falls apart within months?

They already have big tears along the sole and the very top. He normally wears Merrell Trail Glove and will be going back to those – never any issues!

Then again the MT00 upper is way too thin and has two holes that have just appeared without any hard friction.

I’ve had the issue on the Bare Acess to – one of the gray rubber patches on the sole is peeling. Fortunately that should be an easy fix with a bit of Loctite glue. Harder to reattach an upper to a sole!

Happened to my son with the TG too, just along the toebox. Fortunately it didn’t progress to a big problem and got almost a full school year out of them.

I emailed NB and they sent me a new pair on the condition I send my defective pair back. Did so and no problems since!

My fivefingers haven’t had delam. issues.

If you call New Balance customer service they will likely allow you to replace them for free. They saw this blog post and contacted me about a replacement for mine.
