Customize your size

Bowling has been dated back to ancient Egypt and is one of today’s most popular games played all across the globe. Bowling can be played as a social game or a highly competitive one. Whether you are an avid bowler or just like to play a couple games with friends, the bowling ball is the anchor of bowling.

If you are a beginner in the sport of bowling, choosing a bowling ball may be a little intimidating.  Some people think that a heavier ball with knock the pins down easier and some think a lighter ball will be easier to handle and execute down the lane. You could spend a long time trying to find the perfect bowling ball since there are so many different ones to choose from.

Selecting the Perfect Bowling Shoes

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

To protect the floor of a bowling alley and the persons playing, bowling shoes are mandatory. If you have ever been to a bowling alley you have undoubtedly rented those multicolored bowling shoes. These specialized shoes create less wear on the lane. If bowlers were allowed to wear their street shoes then scuffs and scratches would quickly cover the floor and the bowlers stride would not be able to be executed properly.

Bowling shoes can be cute? Since When?”

Poorly fitting (and even worse-smelling) shoes can really ruin your bowling experience. Whether you only bowl a few times a year, hit the lanes every Friday night with your friends or compete in an amateur league, buying your own pair of bowling shoes can go a long way in making your game more enjoyable. Who knows; if you’re having more fun, your score just might improve too!

Intimidated by the prospect of buying your own pair of bowling shoes? Then check out Dexter bowling shoes. This is a good bet for first-time buyers; the brand is popular, readily available and also reasonably priced. Not only can you pick out exactly the right size for you (no more pinched toes!), but these shoes are also equipped with padding for comfort, just like a regular sports shoe. Bowlers also tend to like the Dexter brand for its long-lasting durability, meaning you’ll get at least a couple of years’ worth of wear out of a single pair.

Of course, some of us are looking for a little more than just plain old comfort and durability. Who hasn’t been embarrassed by being stuck with a funky-colored pair of rental bowling shoes? The great thing about Dexter bowling shoes is that there’s a surprising range of colors and styles for both men and women to choose from. Conservative dressers can opt for a demure solid black or plain white, or go for a lady-like white shoe with pink accents. The more fashion-forward, on the other hand, might be enticed by some of the bright colors and bold, unique patterns that the Dexter line offers. And for those who just can’t be bothered to tie and untie their shoes each time they bowl, some models are even available with Velcro tabs instead of shoelaces!

Check your local sporting goods store to see if Dexter bowling shoes are in stock, or just do a quick web search to see what the brand has to offer. Next thing you know, you’ll be wowing the alley with your style, if not with your game.

Stylish and Performance Based Bowling Shoes

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Bowling is a game that dates back to ancient Egypt. The most common form of bowling is ten-pin bowling. Ten-pin bowling is usually played on 62 feet of maple and pine that are covered with a synthetic material making the bowling lanes and the area in front of the foul line slick. To protect the floor of a bowling alley and the persons playing, bowling shoes are mandatory.

One of the top, if not the number one, brand of bowling shoes is Dexter bowling shoes. Dexter bowling shoes have been around for over fifty years.  Dexter was founded in 1957 and began with making conventional boat shoes. Since this time, Dexter has transformed into making top notch bowling shoes.  The Dexter Bowling Company believes in tradition and this shines in the design of their shoes.

Dexter bowling shoes are innovative and constantly being updated using the newest forms of footwear technology. Dexter bowling shoes were the first to have interchangeable sliding soles and breaking heels. This interchangeability allows for varying approach methods when stepping up to the lane.  To be able to bowl correctly, and successfully, the bowlers’ final approach to the foul line requires a short slide along the floor. Dexter bowling shoes come in multiple varieties so that each person can get the right shoe for them. Whether you need more break or more slide, Dexter bowling shoes will accommodate your every need.

For the occasional bowler, every bowling alley offers bowling shoes. These shoes are well known for their quirky mismatched colors and unique appearance.  However, the house’s bowling shoes are generic and an avid bowler will most likely purchase their own bowling shoes. If you are interested in buying your own shoes than Dexter bowling shoes are a great choice. Purchasing your own bowling shoes allows you to select the most comfortable shoe from multiple options. Picking out a pair of Dexter bowling shoes is just like picking out sneakers in terms of comfort and style.

There are two different types of Dexter bowling shoes: athletic and performance. Athletic shoes are very parallel to sneakers in their design. Athletic Dexter bowling shoes are made with the sliding sole on both shoes. Performance bowling shoes are designed to increase the bowler’s game. Dexter bowling shoes that are made for performance are crafted with only one sliding sole on the lead foot, which is the foot opposite the dominant delivery hand. The other sole is made to have more traction to use as a kind of anchor. Experienced bowlers usually wear performance shoes.

Dexter- all options are on the table

Got slide?

Or do you need to put on the brakes?

Whether you bowl with a slide going in for added velocity, or need that solid brake for a more surer footing, Dexter bowling shoes are the only shoes on the market that feature the best of both worlds.

The truth is, no one option is the best. Sometimes you need a slide for added speed and velocity, other times you need a solid brake for a steady accuracy. Dexter bowling shoes are the only shoes on the market with interchangeable sliding soles and braking heels, giving you the versatility of either option.

Use a longer sole and a greater heel for more slide, less for better braking action. A high slide is recommended for more slippery approaches, while a steady heel is best for more normal approaches.

There are as many as five different slides to a single shoe, including one meant for walking around, saving you the trouble of switching shoes whenever you go to the bathroom or the bar. Friction can be adjusted to affect the “stickiness” of the shoe, depending on your individual preference.

Dexter shoes are functional and stylish at the same time. Not only do they work great on the lane, but they look great too. Say goodbye to geeked out rental shoes. Look good bowling. Many of the shoe styles could easily be mistaken for tennis shoes, both in looks and in comfort.

Buying your own shoes is the surest way to improve your game, and Dexter easily has the most options. You can adjust your game to the surface of the lane, or just whatever style or preference happens to be working that night. Performance shoes are specifically gauged to improve a bowler’s performance, making the most out of the surface of the lane and the talents of the bowler.

Featuring the best in function, as well as the latest in fashion and style, Dexter is a shoe that shouldn’t be passed up. It’s the only shoe that gives a bowler a multiple number of options, with the capacity to change right there on the lane. It’s like owning multiple bowling shoes in the same shoe. Whether you want to slide or need a good brake, Dexter keeps all options on the table.
