Best shoes on the market?
« on: December 18, 2010, 06:21:31 AM »
Hello all,

I've been needing to buy some new shoes for at least a year now. I'm currently wearing Dexter SST6's and love the way they feel but the insides are getting really really worn. I bought a pair of the white SST8's when they came out but I started wearing the velcro off of the tip of the push off shoe. I'm looking at buying either another pair of SST6's (or the Brunswick version of them) or I was looking at the Etonic ESS Interchangeables. Just wondering what everyone uses and what they like/dislike about the shoes.

Thanks,
Jared

Another endorsement for the 3G Tour Ultras.  I've owned many other paris of higher end bowling shoes (Dexter, Brunswick) and found that I wear the trail leg toe cap out.  With the kevlar toe cap, the wear is drastically reduced.  Plus you can't beat the comfort of the kangaroo leather in the Tour Ultras.  The closest thing I have from Dexter was a pair of SST-6 LX shoes also with kangaroo leather for a wide foot size.  Those SST-6s fit my feet live a glove, but again, the toe cap wore out prematurely (in my opinion) and eventually the inside lining in the heel wore a hole in the shoe.  Now if Dexter ever re-released that shoe with a kevlar toe cap, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

The 3G Tour Ultra's are the best bowling shoe money can buy. The uppers are made from kangaroo leather which is stronger yet lighter in weight than the competitions cowhide. These shoes feature quality construction with the uppers glued and stitched to the soles. The non-sliding shoe features a durable kevlar/rubber pushoff tip and sole. The slide shoe can be outfitted with six(6) different soles and six(6) different heels to custom fit your type of slide. And last but not least I've found 900 Global's customer service far superior to Dexters or Linds.

I like my SST8's but seem to be in the major minority, i had tour ultras before and did like them, you can't go wrong but I just prefer the wider platform of the SST8's, they just feel more stable to me.

The ETONIC ESS is the most comfortable shoe that I have ever used and they are a fraction of the price of others.

We let them have MANY pairs of shoes, so why can't we have lots of BALLS.

I use them also. Liked them better than the Dexter/Brunswicks for several reasons.
