THE 9 vs SST6 BOA

Debating on getting the new Color Shift Dexter THE 9 or the new Black/Red SST6 BOA. Any recommendations? I have a narrow foot. Nothing really differentiates them on their website.

The 9 allows you to change soles and heels on both shoes. Being ambidextrous, I like this feature. Other wise I have not yet found an approach that made me want swap the standard traction sole for a different one. I would guess that the SST6 is the better choice for 95% of serious bowlers.

The 9 comes in wide sizes, which I don't normally need except for when it comes to Dexter bowling shoes (they run narrow). Otherwise both are made in China.

I just recently got the SST 6 Boas (the silver ones, which are not as bright as you would think). I am coming from the SST 8's and the SST6's are really comfortable. Oddly enough, in my SST 8's, I had to use an S8 slide sole and H7 heel. On the Boas, I had to go with the S6 sole and H5 heel. When I went with the default S8, I almost broke my neck. I can't explain it but, these shoes seem to restrict my movement much less.

You’ve seen the Iceman’s feet. Could they be described as narrow? And lastly Iron Mike isn’t asking about sandals.
