I've had my sst6's for about 7 years, and I think it's time for a new pair. I would really like to try some 3G's, but the new Dexters look pretty fierce. Can anyone chime in and tell me what they think? I tried Etonics and they felt too clunky on my feet, and my Dexters feel like there's nothing on my feet at all.

 

Thanks! 

The sky is falling

The end is near

The final warning

The sun disappears. 

Wemt from SST8's to 3G Tour ultras~

 

I will never go back!

Just got the new SST 8 black/red shoes and used them for the first time last night and right out of the box I really liked the control the shoes provided.

This is my first changeable shoes, and so far I like what I am seeing.

Stick with the Dexters.

I had Dexter SST6. They were comfortable but only lasted about 3 years before they feel apart. My friend bought the SST8's and they already split at the sole after a year and a half. After the Dex, I went with the Dynorooz Sport Ultra's and they're still holding up rather well after 4 years. I just bought a pair of 3G Tour Ultra's and they are like wearing slippers, even the 1st time you put them on. I'm sticking with 3G. IMO, there the best shoes on the market.

 +1.....

 

Had an opportunity to try the Tour Ultras, but I personally didn't like the feel of wearing a 'slipper' on the lanes. I like having the balance of comfort and overall superior foot support the SST8 provides. As far as wear, I have over 1000 games on my SST8s, and they're still in excellent shape.

 

But they're differemt types of bowling shoes, so try each one on and decide which one best fits your needs.
