Shoes for less then 30.00 i don't think you are going to have much of a chance but you might find something. I know the pro shop has some for 34.95 but there not the best things in the world. good luck on finding some
The cost savings of owning your own shoes will definitely save you money if you are going to be bowling regularly. It's a no brainer if you ask me.

Robert posted it already, but you can get a pair of Rickys for under $30. When I started back, I didnt feel like paying rentals every time out, so I bought a pair of Rickys and they've been pretty darned durable. I've gotten at least $300 worth of wear out of 'em. Probably I will upgrade soon, but they're a great place to start.

Tickled to be tolerated by the nice folks at BowlingBoards.com!
My first pair of shoes were Dexter's (which I gave to my mom)...but then I decided I wanted to go with a more "sneaker" look so I bought a pair of Linds and after a season and a half, the front toe pad started coming unglued. I took it to my pro shop where I had bought them and he glued them. Then not even 2 weeks later, the same toe pad came unglued again, so the pro shop switched them out for another pair of Linds. I didn't even have those a week and the same thing happened. I switched to a pair of Brunswicks and I haven't looked back! That was a year ago. However, if you plan to stick to bowling I suggest going ahead and paying for a good pair of shoes...you won't be sorry!
Good shoes.
The sound footing of a GOOD pair of shoes id important in creating a consistant delivery. The "universal" shoes will do in a pinch. However you would be better served with shoes designed for specific style (RH?LH). You can find some good deals on discontinued shoes on Ebay. I have recently seen Brunswick Swirls there for $70.00. These are sst6's made under a brunswick license and use Dexter soles.
