    Default Bowling Shoes Suggetions

    Hi, everyone. I'm planning on getting new bowling shoes in a matter of days if I can. I just wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions on brands. I'm looking to buy black-colored shoes. Inputs, anybody?

    Second this. I love mine, and when you wear out the toe it costs $18 to replace instead of the entire shoe.

    Sounds like a strong choice. I think I'll take it into consideration.

    What do you mean by "wear out the toe" exactly? Just to be sure O.o

    Just that... Wearing out the toe on the sliding foot to where you're either sticking or using ez-slide every frame

    Ohh ok. I plant anyway, so I don't have to worry about sliding. Thanks for the explanation otherwise(:

    You mean the 'sole' is replaceable, toe drag wears out a non replaceable part of the shoe or has the possibility of knocking loose the sole if removable.

    If you plant, you may not want the overkill of the SSTs removable soles and heels. Just stay with Dexter and go with leather and you will be good. If you are looking for more traction for planting, then of course go with the SSTs and adjust your soles and heels for more traction and planting.
