COMMENT: What bowling shoes are you wearing on the lanes?
Dexter THE9 Color Shifts
KR Strikeforce Aviators 💪🏻
I have a pair of rentals that say it on the side and everything
Brunswick punishers
3G Tour Ultra Black🔥🔥
You can’t go wrong with the Dexter SST8. They cost a bit of change but with the comfort & durability that they provide it’s well worth it.
There ARE even lower price point options available from certain online retailers...Been wearing mine for over a year now a few times a week. Suprised they have not fallen apart....yet. I would ONLY recommend them if you insist on getting a PERSONAL pair of shoes so you dont have to rely on those icky rentals. I have progressed far enough along that I can reasonably shop at the higher price points now. THANK YOU guys for the lovely breakdown and recommendations. What would be helpful in the future is a rundown on particular ball surfaces and the best/recommended cleaners for them. And Oil wiping frequency and tools. I.E.: Shammy pad/towel/"seesaw" I see so many variations out in the world and it can get daunting.
hi there! what kind of shoes did you use? am just getting into bowling and bought my first ball last week. im definitely a casual and plan on playing around once a week. i feel like these shoes cost a fortune!
Currently rocking a Dexter THE 9 shoe love the interchangeable sole and heels and the clip on toe technology is amazing never have to worry about the pads coming undone in the approach
What a coincidence, Just got my Brunswick furys in the mail this morning cant wait to go try them out
I’m wearing the Dexter Colorshift BOA the 9s. They are very good. I love interchangeable shoes, they are a must have if you are a serious bowler. Also, the colorshift is really cool when you flash a flash light on the shoes, they are reflective and look really cool 😅😅
Finally, a great shoe video, I've had a pair of Dexter SST5's for probably 15+ years and I just replaced the pads...and they are still in great shape. But I'm looking for something new and the Hammer and Motiv shoes look great...not sold on the BOA concept just yet, maybe you can do a video on some BOA shoes. Thanks,
Love my Dexter SST6. Currently have the White and Blue edition. I tried the 3G Tour Black, but for me, they were so uncomfortable
I’ve been in the market for a new pair of bowling shoes since the last pair I had burned up in a forest fire I was considering looking into some thing in the dexter lineup with the boa system, but hearing that they don’t come with extra inner changeable heels and souls in that they are expensive it’s got me actually considering the hammer diesel shoes
Great video. Thanks
I'm using the Dexter SST 8 Pro. Find them very comfortable, good slide.
Before I was given my Dexter SST 8's, I had a pair of Hell Bent's. Hell Bent were comfy as heck, and snug fit. Didn't have to pull on the laces a whole lot to keep 'em that way
I absolutely loved my SST5 Boa's, but they split on a seam. I replaced them with SST8 Boas, but whilst both are wide, the SST8 is clearly a much narrower last overall as it's no where near as wide as the SST5's. I wish i could have got the C9 in a wide, but I'm restricted by what I could get in the 3 weeks I was in the states. No where sells wides in the UK
Brunswick furys...love the boat system
I use the dextor boa sst8 its very comfortable and gives me really good slide and really good break I use them during bowling league’s and will use them in future bowling tournaments
KR strikeforce legends they have interchangeable heel and sole on slide foot. They are very similar to the dexter sst 5's. They have good price point around 100 usd
Thanks for the advice. I just got the Tour HPs for 80 bucks. Just 20 more than I was about to pay for the Rickys.
I have 2 pairs. KR Strikeforce entry level, and 3G Tour HP blue. Should've went for the Tour X since it comes in a wide foot.
I have the 3G tour black and I love them. I am 6'0 290lbs and I slide fine and feel I have more control.
I have a pair of KSWISS shoes that I converted to bowling shoes. I've had them for about 6 years now. I bowl league and tournaments with them. It's about time to switch them out because my right toe cap is worn off from the sliding.
Dexter Pro Boa Lite give a interchangeable sole and boa laces. Low- mid range pricing as well
Dexter The 9s Boa Color Shifts. Simply because I wear the toe on the drag foot out about every 6 months and changing the toe cap on the 3G tour ultras is a pain vs Velcro on the Dexter's.
I have a very old pair Endicott Johnson White with Leather Slide. It is about 20 years old or older.
Kr strikeforce mavs! Great shoe very comfortable and also have the boa system
Dexter SST 6’s are great shoes!
I got the 9’s their like the 300 belmo’s shoes. Heal and slide has the hard toe interchangeable also. I’ve had them for 5 years and they still look good
Great stuff! Very versatile shoe!
been wearing same pair of $50 strikeforces bought a year ago now and theyre falling apart. tore off the toe slide on the right foot haha. ah i need some 3Gs with heel slide :)
etonic with interchangeable slide and carbon fiber lining. wearing it since 2010
Dexter the 9s boa color shift. Definitely not cheap but I bowl a few times a week. They will probably last at least 5 years. So still cheaper than rentals. Anyone who bowls more than once a year should buy bowling shoes.
How should you break in new shoes with new slide pads if not sliding great out of the box?
The team Brunswick shoes are the best deal. 170$ or so and they come with 5 soles and 4 heels. Very important because 2 is not enough. Normally soles cost 20-40$ each
Valuable information!
Strikeforce Rage and Hammer Razor
I have my SST5s from the early 2000s still. Just about to pull the trigger on some new shoes and am having a hard time deciding between the SST6s or something else
Same with me. They are ugly and scuffed up but they are still holding up very well.
On the Brunswick rampage can you buy more slide’s like a 6,5,4,3,2 to attach? Thank you for your reply
Yes you can! It comes with a 4 and 6, but Brunswick also offers 2, 8, and 10 sliders
Beware of the ambidextrous shoes. I had a pair of Dexter SST8's and I drag my non slide foot on the toes. I had a bad habit of peeling the push sole from the shoe and causing a tripping hazard. I would recommend staying away from that type of shoe. I have since gone to the Brunswick Team with fully interchangable slide soles and heels. Years ago it was Linds as they were the best shoes ever made
I still don't understand how Linds let the other companies run over them. They were *the* shoe to have in the old days and dominated the market.
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 I know the previous owner, Jeff Linds. they were sold to Etonic and it was all down hill from there. One approached changed from wood to synthetic Linds could not or did not want to compete
@@20447Medic Thanks for the history lesson. Such a wasted opportunity. It felt like a smaller version of what happened to Sears when Amazon came along. Sears should have been able to dominate the online world with their decades of mail order experience and tons of money to invest but they just sat back and watched it all vanish before their eyes.
Looking into getting new shoes that are right handed. Right now I have some $60 kr strikeforce shoes with two slide soles. Hey when are we getting a DNA review?
Stay tuned😜
I converted an older pair of Kobe XI's so I can use interchangeable soles.
So would you guys suggest the 3g tours for someone like me who goes bowling multiple times a week at the same 2 places. Currently have a pair of low end strike forces but am looking for somthing more sturdy and higher quality with the interchangeable aspect
Yea definitely if you’re bowling multiple times a week and multiple alleys. They will be more comfy and last a long time
Dexter C9 Sidewinder
Storm shoes. Going to get 3G
Just bought a pair of brunswik left hand shoes
Thanks for the video. Just an FYI - "IV" is pronounced "four". Roman numerals.
Home made Jordan's IV's ftw..
Best shoe for a very narrow foot?
KR Strikeforce Summit
I got the KR Strikeforce Men’s Flyers off of Amazon. Honestly, I wanted something more like a tennis shoe and felt light on my foot. I paid about $50 for them, and I love them. For someone like me, who’s a casual/twice a week kind of bowler, goes out with the family to bowl, I love these shoes. Going from rentals to your own shoes is a HUGE transition. But, once broke in, I haven’t rented ever again. Plus, you save so much money in the long run. I’ve already made my money back with how much we bowl as a family.
I agree with the price point and what you get. The only problem I have with mine is that the slide wore down pretty quick and it's basically like wearing regular shoes after about a year.
strikeforce has a boa shoe.
I have the cheapest pair of Strike force that the jungle website had in my size. They are two narrow and seem to stick randomly. Will upgrade soon.
My issue is finding shoes in size 15. I've been stuck with a pair of Brunswick 14's
Same issue here. Did find the Dexter SST8 Pro go all the way up to 16. Great shoe.
BARKS!!! The reason the 3G Tour Blacks are so expensive is because Belmo wears them! lol Thanks guys I have a pair of white Linds that I've worn since 1985 and they are still perfectly fine. Now I'd love a new shoe and you guys gave me some good information. Personally I think I'll most likely just get another pair of Linds because I'm too old to figure out all these freakin' removable sole combinations. Thanks again guys.
Wore Dexter The 9 for years, still have them and they are in good shape, but recently switched to just rocking tennis shoes. More plant and pull now, but eliminated the awful variance in approaches around here, now everywhere I bowl feels the same, no footing trust issues...
i have a hard time finding bowling shoes, as im a lefty and have a wide foot.
Hammer Black and Gold.
I'm a Southpaw, with a wide foot, and these are really comfortable.
@@tongue_twista7557 thanks!
The IV😂….4
Anyone else ever frustrated they rarely make some nice all white shoes?
3G 3VRS!
Cool tech bowling bowling shoes I use the kr strikeforce Newport slip on bowlling shoes with flex slide technology in the bowling shoes give me more slide when bowling Jr pro shop my dad Scott Thompson sr going to get some bowling shoes too the kr strikeforce Newport slip on bowlling shoes with flex slide technology in the bowling shoes will give him more slide too even though my dad has not been in a bowling league team in 20 years my dad 62 years old now he going to be in my bowling league team this year 2023-2024 bowling league team season which will be cool have my dad in my bowling league team in superior Wisconsin at village lanes bowling alley this fall bowling league team season
