Bowling Shoes

Bowling shoes are the most ignored and overlooked piece of bowling equipment.  Many bowlers don’t realize the importance of a good quality and comfortable bowling shoe as they can add pins to your game!

Bowling shoes are made with a “sliding” sole that allows the bowler to slide with their sliding foot during the last step of their approach.  This sole is generally made of a leather or synthetic-type leather material.  A proper and consistent slide is very important in the execution of a good bowling shot.

The Athletic or tennis shoe style bowling shoe is made with a “sliding sole” on both shoes.  This type of shoe is an excellent choice for beginners or for bowlers who bowl once a week or less.  Examples of this type of shoe are the Brunswick Flyer and Silk.

The competitive style shoe has a “sliding sole” on one of the shoes for the sliding foot only.  The other shoe for the “push off” foot has rubber on it to assist the bowler in a strong and stable “push off” into the slide. This type of shoe is recommended for bowlers that want to improve their game with good slide/finish fundamentals and for bowlers who bowl more than once a week.  Examples of this type of shoe are the Dexter SST series of shoes.
