Question: How long do cheap bowling shoes typically last?

Answer:

Budget bowling shoes usually last 1 to 2 years with regular league play (once or twice per week). The sliding sole will wear down over time, but you can often extend their life by using shoe covers when walking around the center and brushing the soles regularly. Once the slide becomes inconsistent, it’s time to replace them.
