3M raging bull 5 losing color

[stackdatdough]

i don't know if there's a thread on this already or not but my 3M raging bull %s are losing color at the tongue. i don't know if it's cause of the lace lock rubbing against it (which i doubt cause i've worn them once and that was back on RD when i bought them) or if its some kind of unhappy chemical reaction. has this happened to anyone else?

Even thou you say its not from the lace-locks, I beg to differ. Its too obvious because they are exactly the same and right behing the locks

I agree. It's the lacelocks rubbing off the 3M material. If something continuously or often rubs on something else, in your case the lacelocks rubbing on the tongue, you will see rub-off marks.

Some lacelocks on the 5's have run-off plastic underneath that are very sharp, check to see if that is what is rubbing the 3M material off.

Although it's possible, I doubt that is what happened. A few of my boys had that same problem. It was from small pieces of run-off plastic on the lacelocks that scratched their tongues when they tightened and laced their shoes.
