What's your average?
Gonna buy a shoe.
What would you recommend for someone who has never had a legit pair of shoes (ones that don't have slide on both feet)?

What's your average?
I’m hovering in the 200-205 range but I’m looking for something above the entry level shoe

If you bowl, or intend to bowl, at different centers, or if the approaches vary a lot at the one or two centers where you bowl, I would recommend one with interchangeable slide soles.

I bought a pair of Dexters with fixed soles for about $55 but in the summer league I was sticking bad so bought a pair of Storm's with interchangable soles for about $160. Turns out I only use the #8 sole. The 10 is way too slick and I fell twice with it on so the 8 it is. In the end I should have saved my money and stuck with the $55 ones

Oh, and LEFTY!!!
Dexter does make an S9 sole but it doesn’t come, or at least it didn’t with the shoes when I bought my SST8s

Somebody mentioned that. Might try to find one. My Dexters aren't interchangeable so not sure they would work on the Storms? Seems a 9 might be perfect for me. I don't really slide but when the approach is tacky it will sometimes jam my knee so I'd like a little give

A option you might try is a Bowlers Slide Sock, it just slips over your shoe.

Yeah. I have seen those. Might try to get an S9 for my Storms first though.

Ok so I never thought I'd spend close to $300 on bowling shoes but the 9s are so worth it. Just realizing after 3 years that I should try something other than a s5 or s7 on wood approaches..I think I cann have more stability and leverage with a straight slide... though a 3sole/5heel is not recommended by on the chart
