Title: I need new shoes, suggestions?
Post by: Stormkid84 on August 28, 2013, 04:36:21 PM: I haven't bought shoes in 6 years. I currently have a pair of Dynoroos. I have had horrible luck with Dexter over the years, both my SST 5's and 6's only lasted me 2 years. I know I loved the comfort of the Dexters but the durability of the Dynoroos/3G shoes. Has Dexter stepped up their game? And if so how are the SST Tanks?

Thanks!

I was debating on some SST 8 when I was shopping, and was told by many that the 3G's were better. So I went with them, and I love them. Unless you are bowling in any PBA events I would go with the 3G tour Ultras, you will be satisfied.

This has always been my biggest issue. Seems Dexters aren't for the toe draggers. Guess its some 3G Tour Ultras for me.

Actually, because of a recent rule change by the PBA there is no longer a requirement for product registration for shoes on the regional level, only on the National Tour. You can once again use your 3G shoes in regionals!

Post by: CubsFan on November 24, 2013, 10:05:03 AM: Thanks for the thread. Looking for a new pair of shoes now also. I wish some of the big athletic manufactures would get into the bowling shoe market. Look at what they did for golf shoes. Lighter, more comfortable, and waaaaaaaay more stylish. Apparently there's no money in it or else they'd be doing it. Anyone ever hear of Adidas, Nike, Foot Joy, etc making a bowling shoe?

Maybe it's not worth the effort for these big companies to make bowling shoes because of the decline in the interest of bowling, but if they do, I would take another look at it! Especially some super light, super comfortable, and very colorful shoes! I love the looks and comfort of Asics and Nike running shoes!
