I am looking at the Dexter SST7E but want to know if they are worth the $$. The best price I found online was $125 with no shipping. Anyone know what they are going for at Nationals?
Thanks in advance.

I know I didn't suggest anything, but rest assured, any shoe you chose will be better than what you have now. All top-of-the-line shoes have plusses and minuses so it depends on what means most to you.

3G (no longer Dynothane) Tour Ultras
Dexter SST 7 SE
Brunswick Classic
All of these will offer multiple options for soles and heals, with money not an option, 3G would probably be the top of the top of the line. It cost the most but this shoe has more options and more accessories than the other two. Accessories include: A cleat sole with cleats, Shoe Horn, Shoe Carry-All, Slide Sole Cover, Form Keepers, and a Cleat Pick. The shoe also has Kangaroo leather. Have you ever felt of a Kangaroo? Well, neither have I but the Kangaroo leather is the most comfortable. Also, interchangeable toe cap.
If money were an issue though, I would probably go with the Brunswick. Its the best deal. The Brunswick is made by Dexter and is basically the same as the SST 6 & 7 but less expensive. Comes with plenty of options on soles and heals, accessories such as a shoe cover, shoe bag and individual bags for slides and heals.

the only choice would be 3G's tour ultra's. made from kangaroo leather which is at least twice as strong as cowhide and much more supple, this shoes have top notch quality and construction. they come with an almost limitless variety of slide sole and heel combinations and are comfortable from the get-go.

SST7 SE for $129.00 free shipping.
I've never tried the 3G/Dynorooz but the SST's are the most comfortable pair of bowling shoes I've ever owned. If none the less, it seems to me like with all brands, the more expensive better quality adjustable shoes are MUCH more comfortable than their cheaper counterparts.

Second question - be realistic - how often would you use all the different heels and soles that are included???
Third question - does anyone know if these are cheeper at Nationals or lon-line. I can check on-line prices, but have no idea what they are selling for in Alb.
Thanks for all the comments!
Post by: DON DRAPER on February 28, 2008, 05:06:36 AM
buddiesproshop.com..........$145.95
bowling.com.................$138.99
blockbusterbowling.com......$149.95 + shipping
allstarbowling.com..........$145.50
bowlingball.com.............$136.99
these are just some examples of prices. you'll probably only use one set-up of soles and heels the majority of the time but it's worth having a selection of both especailly if you bowl in different houses or bowl tournaments.

I dont use any of the heals and soles other than the S8 sole and S7 heel (dexter). What I have done though, is get 2 spares of each sole and heel, that way if someone accidentally spills soda in the floor and/or I step in something and start sticking I can simply take off the dirty ones and put clean ones on of the exact same feel. This way I don't get yelled at for easy slide on my shoes trying to slide again (which I was guilty of in the past in similar situations), and I can confortably continue bowling while I clean off the dirty ones and get them ready again.

I also own a pair of Dexter SST5's that I have glued back together twice and they have less than 100 games on them. That is the problem with Dexters I have seen and heard. Expect to buy a new pair once a year, every other if you are lucky and don't bowl much.
The Tour Ultra's I have not heard anything bad on either. Everyone I know loves them and they have the fully adjustable soles. And yes that is a big deal if you bowl in mulitple centers and tournaments. If you only bowl in one house and league, probably not that big a deal.

After 35 plus years of bowling, I have never had a 'quality' pair of shoes, and just last Friday converted to 'spot bowling'.
