Bowling is a game that we all know and love.  It's played on 62 feet of maple and pine covered in a synthetic material that makes the lane and area in front of the foul line slick if you're not wearing bowling shoes.  Not only do bowling shoes keep you from falling they protect the surface of the lane, which is why bowling shoes are mandatory.  Most bowling alleys have rental shoes available, but there is a better alternative to using rentals and worrying about how many fungus infested feet have been in them before you lace them up to bowl.  The answer is having your own pair of bowling shoes.

One of the best brands of bowling shoes out there is Dexter.  Dexter has been making bowling shoes for more than fifty years.  Founded in 1957 they started with conventional shoes, but have since transformed themselves into a top of the line bowling shoe brand.  The Dexter Bowling Company prides itself on churning out high quality performance bowling shoes and it shows.  Dexter is always innovating to try and improve the quality of their shoes whether it be to increase the durability or performance aspect, both of which are fantastic.  Dexter was the first bowling shoe that had interchangeable sliding soles and breaking heels.  Whether you are looking for more slide or more brake Dexter has you covered.

If you've been thinking about picking up your own pair of bowling shoes now is a great time to act on the thought and you won't be disappointed if you pick up a pair of Dexter's.  Picking out a pair of bowling shoes is like picking out sneakers you have to balance performance and comfort, but know that you can get both.

Dexter makes both athletic and performance bowling shoes.  Athletic shoes are like sneakers in the way they are designed.  They are made with a a sliding sole on both shoes.  Performance bowling shoes are different in that they are made with only one sliding sole on the lead foot, the foot opposite the delivery hand.  The other sole on a performance shoe is there to provide traction and is used like an anchor.
