    I've always wanted to get a great pair of PBA approved shoes but they certainly aren't cheap. Interchangeable soles and heels would be nice

    The TPU's are very comfortable, initially they had a feeling of being narrow. I believe this was do to them being new, The shape of the toe box and how they contoured the shoe to the foots shape. But they have conformed to my foot now and that feeling has gone away.

    The toe box on the TPU's is slightly more pointed than the one on the Dexter SST's. Dexter SST's have a somewhat wider toe box. The shoes seem to have a good balance between arch support and flexibility.

    Compared to my old Dexters, The TPU-X's feel a lot lighter. Weighing the TPU-X's they are approx. 3-4oz. lighter than my SST 7's.

    Suggestion you might want to get the replacement buckskin slide sole for it. The slide sole that comes on the shoe is the SP-08 White Micro fiber as the standard slide. Which most companies are now using as the standard slide.

    The S-8 Yellow Leather (Buckskin) used to be the standard sole but was replaced by the White Micro Fiber. Some don't like the WMF as it doesn't slide as much as the old buckskin. (I replaced mine BB.com has the buckskin sole)

    Any idea where to get the hammer version or pics of it, I like the all black of the pyramids over the brunswick colored ones.

    I recently purchased the 3G Tour Ultra's. Expensive but I bowl a lot. They are real comfortable and the reinforced balance toe should work wonders for me.
    Good luck with whatever you decide.

    Ended up going with the stealths, should be here in a week or so. Was really the only shoe that fit my budget and had what I wanted in a shoe. Hopefully they look better in person, now I just need to decide on buckskin or the gray sole

    I'm also a big fan of the buck skin. Always like the Linds for that reason.
