hey guys i have been looking threw alot of bowling shoes for awhile now because the ones i got i cant change the slider on it and today i was sticking like crazy and i used my wire brush(did nothing) used my powder stuff(did nothing).

so i had to stick with no slid and was having a hard time with it with my approach and slide my slid foot was 2 feet maby more from the foul line and on a good slid i was about 2 inchs away so had to deal with all that.

so if you guys got any idea on bowling shoes tell me what they are if you can add a picture too show them and remember the slider has to be changeable.

the shoes i have been look at have been some of the STT 8's from dexter and the other shoe i like is the (etonic men's tony ruocco stabilite) but on bowlingball.com dose not have my size.\

thanks to who ever help's me out.

The Dexter SST8s are awesome. Also, Storm now offers a shoe with interchangable soles and heels.

You can't go wrong with Dexters. Use them and enjoy.

My dexters have lasted over 8 years now and the only thing I had to do was super glue the sole back down

I have a pair of Dexter SST 8's and thier great! You can change the slide for a custom slide since they have velcro.

Someone above mentioned the storm shoes. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they are made by Dexter anyway.

The Storm shoes are made by Dexter.

I love my SST 8's. Now I just need to be brave enough to change the soles and experiment.

SST8's are an awesome shoe, but a bit out of my price range lol if you wanted something a bit cheaper the SST 4's or 5's both have the interchangeable soles

If you can afford them, absolutely, but your poor friend from Markham will have to stick with a cheaper option lol

i can afford them but only at the end of the months when i get money at least i dont have to worry about my car for the next 4 months payed ahead so i can focus on getting my bowling stuff.

i got cheap bowling shoes there $100 but they are not interchangeable and are sticking alot right now
