Dexter "The Nine" Shoes

Looks like they wasted no time taking advantage of Etonic leaving the shoe industry with the three section sole style like the Tour Masters were.

Shoes do look good though, if my Tanks weren't so new and holding up so well i'd probably consider a pair.

Technology looks sound.  Any more pictures? I can't use my imagination from that angle.

Looks better for toe draggers. But from that view the shoe design don't look so hot.

I hope its a a a toe-draggers dream come true!  I agree, that angle is good for the bottom of the shoe, but when we use it, we see the top. I hope it's a nice design, and from what I can see, it looks nice. The angle of the photo does make it look like clown shoes though.

Yea I know lots of people who messed their sst 8 up do to toe dragging. They even made a separate strapon sole to stick on cuz all the complaints of the sole coming off.

I sort of like the look of the shoe from that angle. Not really a fan of the raised heel, but it's not that much of a deal breaker. I was looking to buy some Tour Ultra's but I think I might hold off a little before I make that decision.

The pics are up on the Dexter website and on Facebook (I'd post them but it's too big). They look good but I can't figure out what they remind me of. I'm still on the fence if I will purchase them though.

Just out of curiosity, do people that bowl a lot and in tournaments buy a bowling ball because of its color or for its performance?  I believe this also fits with shoes.

With so many products on the market, I would say all of it goes into the equation. You're spending your money so you want something that you find "good looking" and performs to what you would expect.

Are they treating lefthanders better, ie these shoes available in lefty wide?

PS I note the SST6s this year are available in lefty wide this year on their website.  Not at most online proshop websites though!  Yay!  I think.

SST8 and the Nine are interchangeable...thus there are NO right handed vs left handed...they are a specific size not hand
