Dexter Bowling Pro Am II Shoes

Great shoes, good fit.

Haven't bowled much in years, but my old Dexter shoes had to go. I wanted shoes for a right handed bowler so I tried these. Really great quality for the price. Right out of the box they felt like I an old favorite. Performed great and very comfortable. I wear an 11 wide sneakers, but in these a 10.5 fit perfectly.

Solid shoes and (at least from my perspective) beginner shoe. I have improved my game and confidence since I started using them a few weeks back for league competition. Adjusting to them took a couple matches after using exclusively house shoes all my life, but once I started trusting them it has paid off greatly. They are very comfortable and feel like regular casual shoes. The grip is nice on the right shoe to help me gain traction to my starting place and solidly displace the weight to my left foot upon release. After getting used to the increased slide I have been able to get significantly more power through my mechanics alone and also comfortably step up from 15 to 16 lb. They're not the most attractive shoes in the world but you'd be asked to go home and change if you showed up in these at Clown College.

I'll be honest, when I tried them on in my kitchen I thought I'd made a mistake. When I tried them at the bowling alley I LOVED them. Really comfortable to wear, so much so that I didn't pay attention to them. The sliding sole is smooth out of the box. These are really good entry level shoes, well made, very comfortable. I'd buy them again.

Great product, good intermediate bowling shoe.

Perfect fit

I received these shoes about a week ago and have bowled 36 games with them.They were comfortable out of the box, well made, and definitely performed as expected.I’d recommend these to any one looking to move up from a beginner’s shoe.UPDATE:I have now bowled about 80 games with these shoes. After breaking in, they have gotten better. The slide pad on the right foot and the traction sole for push off on the left shoe is performs perfectly. These shoes have definitely helped my approach to the line a lot. Since getting them my average is up almost 10 pins. I credit this to the consistent push off and slide these shoes give. At this point, I couldn’t be happier. I’m considering buying a second pair as a backup.UPDATE 2:I’ve now bowled over 200 games with these shoes and they show virtually no signs of wear. It seems the more I bowl with them the better they get. I highly recommend them.

The shoes look great, feel great, quality construction, and the size was spot on.My only problem is they don't slide as well as I expected. I had a cheaper pair that did not really slide much either so I am used to it but I was hoping the upgrade would allow me to get more slide and improve my approach. I have heard others say the slide improves over time so we will see.For the price, it is a great shoe.
