What the AI looks for in Women's Bowling Shoes
- Universal vs performance
- Universal shoes have slide soles on both feet. Performance shoes have a slide sole on the sliding foot and a braking sole on the other, and are specific to your bowling hand. Buying a right-handed performance shoe as a left-hander leaves you sliding on the wrong foot.
- Interchangeable soles
- Choose swappable soles and heels if you bowl in several centers or compete. Approach surfaces vary, and changing the slide pad adjusts the slide.
- Use only on the approach
- Never wear bowling shoes outside, or cover them when you walk away from the lane. Grit and moisture on the soles cause sticking, which can lead to falls.
Brands that matter
- Dexter: The most established bowling shoe brand.
- KR Strikeforce: Wide range of universal and performance shoes.
- Storm: Performance shoes with interchangeable soles.
- Brunswick: Entry-level and mid-level options.
What to avoid
- Regular sneakers on the approach.
- Performance shoes for the wrong bowling hand.
