How to Choose the Best Bowling ShoesYou might not realize this, but good bowling shoes are actually very comfortable. When you buy your own -- which often less expensive, by the way, than most athletic shoes -- you can ensure a perfect fit, well-padded support, and just the right amount of slide. We've got four excellent brands of these sports shoes to share with you today, and we hope this guide makes your purchasing decision much easier.
It might be best to start with a name that has become synonymous with bowling: Brunswick. You'll discover that Brunswick carries a lot of attractive, stylish bowling shoes to choose from, such as the women's Lazer or Bloom, each of which looks more like a running shoe or a sneaker with non-marking rubber out-soles for a bit of traction plus leather or microfiber slide pads to keep your approach to the lane nice and smooth. A padded collar plus good cushion throughout the shoe ensures hours of comfort as you play. Along similar lines, men will like the Safari or Vasu styles with similar features in masculine colors.
We need to remind you that you shouldn't stop with just one brand until you're certain you've found the right fit in a bowling shoe. For example, Etonic provides an unusually comfortable, very well-padded line of bowling shoes, especially the Strike, the Blaster and the Flame with properly notched ankle flares and a perfectly stable sole. On the other hand, if you're going straight from the office to the next bowling tournament, you might want to consider the professional look of Etonic's Stabilite Oxfords -- as long as you don't choose the Lava print, your coworkers won't know the difference between these and a proper pair of dress shoes.
We're also partial to the Circle line of shoes, particularly the various styles in their Elite and Rio collections. There are actually two types of fit for each shoe style, as the balance is measured to match whether you are left- or right-handed! You know this can make a difference in the longevity of your shoes, since you're putting all of your weight on one foot and sweeping the other at the end of your slide, so we appreciate this innovative design.
Finally, we needed to bring your attention to the surprising styles from Dexter, many of which appear to be running shoes or cross-training shoes at first glance. We absolutely love the Liana for women, with its delicate floral detailing and a vivid purple color across the vamp and tongue. The non-marking up-sole protects floors, as the defined heel gives you a competitive edge while the microfiber soles will slide you right to the line. Men are very likely to appreciate the Tribe and the Courage for equally cool design details in a very well-made bowling shoe.
