I ordered mine off NDC when they dropped and got my confirmation of shippage at 5:22 AM this morning. So would think most would get that today?

NWT, did you notice what I'm saying about the scruffing because of
the velcro? the soft velcro tab. You'll notice the scruff on the medial
side of the lining. I'll be pissed if this only happened to me.

the medial side of both my shoes are a little frayed from the strap after playing in them. i'm going to be more mindful of how i strap the bootie now.
I'm happy that it's not just me or that I have a defective pair. I've come to a conclusion though, the lining of
the zk7 seems to unthread/fuzz quickly. I used the attack fast yesterday and my socks caused it, and my
socks were dri fit. $%$?

pissed.

nah, i might have to disagree with your conclusion there. i don't think the problem is with the collar material, it's just that the velcro that's sewn on the sleeve is too abrasive. and once that soft lining on the collar begins to fray, it becomes easier and easier to fray even more.

edit: after my post, i took my pair out to see what was really causing the problem and i may have found the problem and a solution:
the problem - the very edge of BOTH velcro patches may have a little extra material sticking out after the double stitching which feels very sharp.
the solution* - use a pair of really, really sharp, strong scissors and do some trimming to the edges where necessary. be careful not to accidentally cut too much or cut some of the sleeve in the process.
*be sure to test the feel of the velcro to the collar lining by actually putting the bootie back in the shoe and rubbing it along the collar. if you hear any scratching or see the velcro pulling at the collar, trim the velcro edge a little more.
