2 SHOE, or not 2 SHOE!!

Hope they are worth the wait. I can never figure out how people bowl in the sandal type bowling shoe. The few I see don't tend to slide much and some even appear a bit unstable at the line. I would think a good sturdy shoe would allow for better balance, slide, swing, and follow through than the bowling sandal. Also, since these seem to be popular in England, and maybe some on the West Coast, I was just curious where you found yours in the cooler climate?

Michael uses plain old sandals, not bowling sandals.

My sandals are open toe, and strap on! I don't slide at all! Soft non marking synthetic rubber, tacky! When I started bowling, the pain in my feet was hard to handle, " wearing bowling shoes. I bowled my first big game a 268, a short time later with my brother wearing sandals. I decided that I didn't need to put up with the pain of shoes, when I was bowling 200 plus games wearing ordinary sandals!

Now 3 years later, and after bowing that 300 wearing regular street sandals, I want to see if I can take my game to a higher level wearing a good pair of bowling shoes! The pain has gotten better, my right foot has some pain, but on a one to ten, I would say 4! The Left foot is one that gives me a little problem still, but even its better.

So this will be an interesting experiment to see how, and if I can bowl sliding!! LOL The pair I waiting on is suppose to be a VERY soft leather! We shall see...... "When is that 300 ring going to GET HERE????? LOL

Maybe some of those orthopedic shoe inserts would help.

I have a pair made by a FOOT DOCTOR... If it doesn't push my feet to high in the shoe it would work. My feet are getting much better,,,, but I work at keeping my body as a whole in as healthy a condition as I can! Looking forward to the challenge!!!

My Dexter's are the most comfortable shoes I own. Even more than my $120 sneakers.

Only problem with my Brunswick shoes is they don't slide so I am going to buy a shoe slider for them cause I just bought the shoes maybe after awhile I buy shoes that slide and interchangeable soles but for now I am sticking with the shoes I got cause there just too pretty to give up they look like old time rental shoes that's why I like them but you can buy shoes that are rental shoes that look like rental shoes they would probably slide more then the shoes I got now. You can even go to www.bowlingshrt.com and buy old time saddle shoes but only problem is they don't come in my size I wanted a pair I like the 50's and 60's when poodle skirts were big and retro shirts were big and bowling was the biggest the sport there was.
