What brand of bowling shoes do you use?

[xthe_charismatic_enigmax]

I've had three pairs of shoes..the first were old school white Dexter's. The second were Black and Gold Dexter's which I left in a bowling alley in Lexington, KY..lol The pair I've used ever since an ex-girlfriend bought for me for my birthday one year..again, black Dexter's with gold accents..the best pair of shoes are the ones you didn't have to pay for. =D

Dynorooze had them for 6 years now. My Dexter's never lasted had to replace every year.

I wear AMF bowling shoes. Bought them at Sears.
They last me about 3 years. Less than $30 - that's less than $10/year in shoes.

I've been shopping around for my next pair of bowling shoes. I currently have AMF universal style shoes, where both shoe soles are identical. I'm scouting bowling shoes that are righty specific, where the left sole is a sliding sole, the right sole is a traction sole - more like a sneaker - for a stronger push from the fourth step into the slide step.

These are the three at the top of my list and I'm considering each, but would like to try them on first.

These are all in my "Under $70" price range. Not that I wouldn't love having top of the line Dexter's. I'll wait until I can compete at the next level (over 200 average on THS and have competed in a few tournaments) before I start buying top-shelf equipment. I'd like to know I can bowl my best with the equipment I can afford first.

To wrap this up, in short... I'd just like to know if any of you have worn or heard anything about these shoes specifically and what opinions you may like to share with us here. Thank you all.

I just bought a pair of Etonics. As long as they hold up, I will never buy anything other than Etonics again. They are just flat out great. I know Dexter is more popular, but I can't see them being better than my Etonics. BTW, my average since buying my Etonics is around 210, before that it was around 180. Not saying it's because of the Etonics, maybe more because my 3G's sucked so much LOL.

Which style of Etonics did you buy? I've seen a number, but only a few select styles available at our local pro shop.
