    It's like a removable sole.

    you pull it over the end of your shoe to help with your slide if your sticking etc..

    It's better than the stick on nylon slide pads and cheap alternative to changeable sole shoes

    Pretty cool... I have these linds xtra wide shoes that have interchangeable little pads on the slide shoe so I can change my slide that way. I don't really slide much so never messed with them.

    Someone needs to make slide socks with different slide ability..meaning the one I bought slides too much, So I use a regular sock pulled over my shoe which looks tacky!!

    Yes I bought all the soles, even the deer hide or cow hide one and it still don't slide enough, so I pull a sock over my shoe, and I hate the way it looks, but it is effective.

    my number 8 soles does not slide enough and 10 sole slides too much, and the cool slide sock slides too much just like the number 10 sole.

    I wish there was a number 9 sole, or cool looking shoe socks with different slide options.

    Dexter makes a number 9 as well as a 9-combo (half 8/half10)

    Default Iceman Feet need lots of Room, and Air!

    This is why Iceman wears sandals not only to bowl, but even just bobbing around! MY feet need AIR, to breath!



    How would you like to play, "This Little Piggy" With that pair!!

    Extra wide bowling shoes are not for everyone… obviously. Just think of how much better your approach will be once you get a pair of our extra wide bowling shoes..,,

    I have been getting pain in my left leg half way through. Maybe I should try the slide sock.

    I'd rather wear my Wide Dexter's than my regular shoes.
