I had at least 3 different pairs of bowling shoes and decided to try them out. Well you get what you pay for. They feel better than on loan but not as good as Dexter or Linds. They don't slide well out of the box so a lubricating powder is needed. These are mediocre shoes. If you don't bowl a lot and don't want to rent shoes every time, that's great. If you bowl a lot I would pay a little more for better shoes.
