After recently embracing the sport (I have a first ball and today bowled a first 200+) I find myself in search of shoes that might fit. It's impossible to find things to try on locally so it's off the web I go.
Here's the problem; I'm truly a size 12.5 and left handed. No manufacturer makes one. Half sizes to 12, then full sized there on up. I'm trying to find a brand or model that is known for running big or small so as to buy a size up or down. I'm currently using a pair of Brunswick Warriors size 13 and the heel is way too big. They slide off without unlacing them.
I've read in a few reviews that Dexter SST 8 runs large by about 1/2 size. Does anybody know first hand if this is true? How about SST 6 or Tanks? They are pricey but comfort is worth it. Their lower end shoes (Ricky III, Turbo 2) are true to size. Either too big or too small. Maybe Storm (made by Dexter)?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
