what do wide bowling shoes do ?
idk never really got into researching so i thought id ask what the difference is ? does it give u more of a balance ?
I think they're meant for people with wide feet. I think it would be bad for someone with regular shaped feet since their foot would move side to side inside the shoe. My feet are so wide that with a regular width shoe I need an 11.5 just for the width. I wear a 9.5 or 10 with a 4E (extra extra wide).

What do bowling shoes do??
I don't know?? I wear open toe sandals, non slide! I can't complain, just had my second 300, in 6 months, and a 780 series! I think bowing shoes are highly overrated... LOL (

I wonder if it would be legal to bowl barefoot?
Anyone know of a person who has or a specific rule against it?
Maybe I'll try it and start a trend?? Like barefoot running...it's all the rave.

I bowl in my hello kitty socks - anyone got a problem with that?
Whoa! Has anyone just bowled in socks?? I bet you could get a decent slide in socks. I might actually try that tomorrow before leagues start.
Mudpuppy had a good idea (finally).

Yeah you can see the little kids doing it a lot.
That's basically where the idea for the slide sock came from, they pulled a sock on over the shoe.I bet you could get a decent slide in socks..
