Great shoes with quality issues
First off, the v3s themselves are pretty great. Roomy toe box, very flat to the ground, good lateral support for sumo, and just have a nice fit. I have bought multiple pairs because of this. However, after using two pairs for a few months, I’ve noticed in both of them that the adhesive connecting the outsole to the shoe starts to separate at the tip/toes. This is while only using the shoes for squats, deadlifts, and basic accessories (nothing that crunches the toes of the shoe), and normal storage/treatment when not in use. Avancus’ customer service is top tier and has already provided me a replacement for one of these pairs, but it’s frustrating seeing in my other pair the same issue emerge considering I don’t want to have to keep buying or requesting replacements for these shoes. I will concede that functionally, even when the sole starts separating, you can probably keep using the shoes for some time without major issue but you’d like to have more trust in the shoes ability to hold under load without it worsening.
