Title: Bite Sandals
Post by: campy on September 17, 2007, 04:01:26 PM
Blow [sm_disgust] [sm_disgust] [sm_disgust]

After retiring my beloved Foot Joy sandals when they developed an incurable case of the stanks, I thought I would give Bite sandals a try since Golfsmith happened to have a nice looking pair on sale.  Played my first round with them today, and the verdict is not good. 

1st hole: Rear strap broke on the left sandal while walking to the green. 
4th hole: Rear strap broke on the right sandal while walking to the tee box.

I was riding in a cart, so I am going to assume that I maybe got 400 feet of mileage out of them before they screwed the pooch.  My wife is blaming my Flinstone feet, I'm blaming Bite for manufacturing junk...too bad really, as I liked the pair of Bite shoes I had.

I bought a pair of Bite sandals last year (a different model) and I've had no problem with them, so far.  I've probably only used them about 4 times, all in a cart.  I don't think I'd want to walk a round in them, though.

I'm on my 3d pair, and no problems.

Current pair is exactly the same thing you have, but no spikes and worn as regular sandals with the occasional 9 holes thrown in.

90 pct of the time, I don't have the back straps hooked up so they're more like a flip flop.

I seem to recall that they were sold to Adidas a year or so ago, so quality control may not be what it used to be.

I'd definitely contact Bite and see what they have to say about that deal...

They're definitely 'Kicky', and I wore out my last pair after 3 years of almost daily wear between May and September...
