Save up a bit more and buy some SRT-8's!
In need of bowling shoes
What bowling shoes would be a good choice for me? I'm left handed, if that has anything to do with it, just throwing it out there.
And I have a budget of around $100.
Thanks in advance ~ Sam

Was just looking at Dexters for myself. Have this nagging feeling I should save up and get SST-8s. My biggest problem is I've got pretty big flippers, so anything I've been looking at - size is going to be a challenge.

Are the SRT-8's durable? My last pair lasted me only 6 months.

Wow that's not long at all. The SST8s have replaceable soles and heels on both feet. However, if you drag your toe they are not for you!
What part of the shoe did you wear out?

Mine are about four years old. The shoes themselves still look new. I did ruin the original traction sole before I learned to keep it back from the edge. I have had to replace my favorite S-8 sole, the traction sole again and both heels since then because the velcro wore out from switching from left-handed to right handed and back every week.Originally Posted by martinezsam2495
By the way, the replacement soles that I've gotten from my local Pro shop had to be trimmed to fit.

The Dexter website indicates the soles come in a Men's size 15 and have to be trimmed for all other Men's and Women's sizes.

yeah, I believe I drag my feet, I'm not entirely sure, but, on my right foot, sliding foot, on the top of the bottom of the shoe it's worn out. If that didn't make sense, I can post a picture

Could you please? I just got mine a few months ago and LOVE them, probably have 500 games on them and I've changed on the s8 one time (last week) but that's it
