Dexter Modern, Men's Bowling Shoes

I had an issue with the shoes that may be due to my slide but within about 6 months the non slide shoe front sole would come off, the velcro would not hold any longer. I contacted Dexter and although this specific color is no longer made and is discontinued they sent me a brand new pair in black. As far as the shoe's performance outside of that small issue they were fantastic. I love the BOA enclosure on my bowling shoes. In addition my lanes were sticker and I simply bought a sole and heel that had more slide and adjusted to get a perfect slide for my personal throwing style. These are a top notch shoe that should last a very long time and I love the adjustability of them.

I had the Nine, and they busted at the seems. I am left-handed, and these shoes are reversible for both left and right-handed bowlers. They are fantastic -- the camo look is quite unique and fun.

Amazing bowling shoes. My knee no longer hurts when I bowl

I know it sounds strange, but I use these daily. I have a hard time staying steady on my feet but these are meant to fix just that. I feel solid with a wider shoe width and longer toe rim. Regular tennis shoes I am tipping all over the place, these are solid. The bottoms can be replaced because they have Velcro holding on the sole. So I took the sliding leather off the left shoe and replaced it with a solid sole. That was available at a pro bowling shop. They have lasted over two years and the bottoms don’t look like there’s been a days wear on them. I got another pair for dress shoes because after two years, the uppers have gotten beat up a little bit. But still highly functional. There’s also no lacing them up. You just popped the button down on top and give it a twist and it zipped right around your foot as tight as you want to be. I think all shoes should be made like this. The bottoms never wear out and the uppers just need some polish. I would recommend these to everyone as a daily wear.

Ok, so after bowling 8 games with these I can say a couple of things. If you have a wide foot then I'd order your standard size in normal width. If you're a standard width I'd go a half size down. The s8 that comes standard doesn't slide hardly all for me and I'm about 185 lbs. I'd definitely recommend going with an s10 or higher if you like to glide a bit more like I do. On me the back tends to rub a bit at the heel, but this may be a sizing issue more than a design issue. All in all a good modular shoe that is lightweight and breathes well. I'd buy another pair.
