    If you have wide feet the dexter sst8 are great most confortable shoe I've ever owned. If you like more flexibility the 3GS tours are a favorite of my friends.

    I used to only wear Linds back in the day but now
    days I only wear Dexters and as Amyers said they
    are a very comfortable shoe indeed.

    As far as bowling shoes I buy what ever is the cheapest. Yes I would like an expensive, nice pair of shoes but it is not in my budget I currently wear Pyramid Men's Ram Black. They are okay, nothing to write home about. I have a lot of toe drag and If I get a year and a half out of $30 shoes I will be happy.

    I currently have a pair of dexters which I do like. Been looking at the sst8's. May go that route. Thanks

    I have really narrow feet and it's hard to find shoes that fit well. I tried Etonics (which I understand are no longer sanctioned) and found them to be too narrow. Never ran into that problem before! But I found a pair of Dexters that I like -- dedicated soles, too, and about $60.

    I agree, these are the best fitting shoes I have ever had, of any kind. They are even better than my custom Red Wings.

    I have the SST6 and they are great. Pay a little more and get a quality well fitting shoe that lasts. Cheap bowling shoes wear out quick, don't fit well and don't perform well.

    I have dexter sst8's. the sst7's were my favorite, but I broke the shoe and dexter replaced them for free after 5 years! they are a little more structured and stiff, and take a while to break in, but I wouldn't wear any other shoe. however, if you are looking for a more athletic shoe, you can get a more economical dexter and still get a great quality.
