I have an old school pair of SST4s--the black ones with the white stripe on the side and 'SST4' text on the sides. They are like new, bought them just before I stopped bowling--you think Im going to get laughed out of the house when I wear those or are they still modern enough to wear? Doesnt really matter, because they are nice enough that Im not buying any new ones--just curious.
I've bowled in a sport league the last few years. A lot of guys who bring 6 or more balls, have or soon will have their PBA cards. In short, some really serious bowlers. No one has ever made fun of me when I've worn my cheapest pair of dexters. Generally if they notice an older style of shoes the comments will be positive, like, " I used to have a pair of those, they were great!"Originally Posted by shane

Dexter SST 4
Bought in 1998 for $130, with some of the first money I ever earned myself.
It was worth it.
Although I need to add some crazy glue to sole last week, as shoe beginning to fall apart.
I had a cheap pair of Brunswick shoes from Sportsmart(that's right for those who remember them before they were taken over by Sports Authority) that my dad bought me back in the 90's. They were in bad shape when I started bowling again last year. I upgraded to black Dexter Turbo 2. Great looking shoes that look even better Woth the light gray laces.
Pinseekers,
I like them and their comfortable. :]
I got white Dexter Magnums......I like them because they look similar to the white K-Swiss shoes I usually wear. I've already got two extra pair at home for when the one's I've got now wear out.
