Superglue is what I used.
Although you're of the "cracks in front" variety... I got cracks in the back of mine, right between the plate and the wheel.

I'd bet how and where the shoe gets most worn/cracked depends on how you move your feet. Everyone's different.  |

ME is right. In specific, there are a couple of maneuvers known to accelerate the deterioration:
- A rear foot drag to slow-down and stop. This is particularly bad if you've lots of rough pavement in your area. This is the way I slow-down, tho.
- Running/sprinting hard.
- Missing your grind / not grinding clean.
This happens to everyone who's wearing your heelys A LOT. I remember when it happened to the Macs. |

My Evos (all of them) have cracked in the front on the right shoe (dominant foot). Its kinda funny though.
Ironically, out of all the shoes I have, my Rails were ABSOLUTELY destroyed yet never suffered the breaking of the grind plate. I think its cause instead of breaking I always fell... hmmmmm |

| i think its the different design, mav. vause theres like a little bar between the end of the grindplate and the shoe and that usually cracks or just falls off. on the front for evos and torches it kind of cracks and falls off alltogether shoe should still be rideable just really flimsy, jason had evos like this. |
