What i like most about dexters is that theyre fairly wide, & completely flat.  The main concern i have with the dynos is the insert in the middle that might make them be more rounded or something.

I have a really bad left ankle, so bad that i wear a metal ankle brace when i bowl now.  Basically, if my ankle turns again, im out of bowling for a long time, cause i will need reconstructive surgery.

Does anyone feel that the dyno's are as stable as the dexters?

Do you mean the insert in the middle of the heel?

It does not stick out below the bottom of the heel, the heel itself is flat, not rounded.

Yes, it's flat.  The soles fit inside the cutout area.  The ones that came with my Tour Ultras fit almost exactly.  Replacements are made from a sheet of material that you must cut to fit (I believe).  In that case, you'd have to make sure you trim any excess.

Looking at the bottom of my shoes with various soles in place, I cannot see that there's enough roundedness to notice or feel.

Edit: If your ankle is that bad, it might be worth having custom shoes made from high-top sneakers.  The high-tops will support your ankle better than a low-top shoe.  Or go see an orthopedist about getting some physical therapy to help alleviate your ankle problems before requiring surgery.  My wife had a problem with her foot and had to wear a huge brace all the time for a month, but it was better than being off her feet and out of work for even longer due to surgery.
