    I liked my SST8 SE's (white and gold) from a few years ago, but they just wore out too quick for me to justify paying another $200 for lol. I loved my TPU's until Brunswick stopped making them (yes, I know the Pyramid's are similar). So I went with the Team Brunswicks thinking they were going to be just as comfortable as the TPU's, which they are comfortable, but not near as comfortable as the TPU's.

    Thanks everyone for the help! I just ordered a pair of the Brunswick TPU x i found im guessing old stock for 89.99. Couldnt pass that up as it comes with all the extra soles and heels.

    This may be a stupid question but teflon? What kind of teflon? Are these those stick on bottoms or something you got at Home Depot? I've very puzzled. Since I have Classic Linds I never researched this kind of thing.

    It is made by 'Master' shoe slide, Amazon has it. You don't have to use the whole thing you can trim it down and just add a little more as needed. It works for me but I know it isn't for everyone.

    There are two products they are the Master Tru-Slide and Slide Glide.

    The Master Tru-Slide is a Teflon pad that is applied to the sole.

    The Master Slide Glide is the Nylon sheet that is cut to fit the sole and applied to it.

    You don't have to cover the whole bottom of your shoe. Just enough to get the slide you need. What part of you foot is causing you to stick. Maybe an egg shaped piece on the ball of your foot or a strip on the little tow side.

    The true slide and slide glude would pretty much work on any shoe.

    The caveat is you better be happy with it once you put it on, because if you rip it off. The sole is basically ruined, because it has glue all over it.
