You are a fashionista in every other aspect of your life and let's face it ladies... rental bowling shoes are just plain ugly. You would never put them on your feet regularly if not forced to do so.  Not to mention they are uncomfortable and really smelly. If you are a half size I feel for you. There is no chance your bowling experience will be comfortable on your feet.  So if you bowl more than once or twice a year put an end to rental shoe misery and invest in your own pair already!

The good news is, there more options than ever before for girls who want to bowl in style and comfort. At long last, bowling shoe makers have ditched the dated unisex model, and have started making shoes specifically adapted to a lady's smaller, narrower foot.  These shoes are padded for extra comfort and come in a variety of styles and colors, from girlish pink to eye-catching metallic gold!

Top brands include Dexter, Brunswick, Etonic and Elite, just to name a few. If this is your first time buying a pair of bowling shoes, you should really visit a shoe store in person to try on a variety of different models so you can see which one fits your foot best. Ask the ladies at your alley what they prefer. Don't be afraid to say "Cute shoes, where'd you get them?"

One important thing to keep in mind when you're trying on bowling shoes is that some shoes are a little more slippery, letting you smoothly glide down the lane for maximum speed. Other models have a thicker heel and stickier sole to keep you from losing control and keep you more firmly planted in your stance. You'll have to experiment a little to see which type of shoe is best suited to your own personal bowling style.

Once you've found your ultimate bowling shoe, your inner fashionista can return and reveal herself to your friends even at the bowling alley.
