The Dexter Mens SST 8 Pro bowling shoe takes a classic look and pairs it with modern technology. This shoe features Dexter's total interchangeable sole construction which makes this shoe convertible for left hand or right hand bowlers and allows the bowler to customize their slide surface as well as their traction surface. This shoe is where comfort and performance and now retro styling come together to make one great shoe!
This shoe design does not match up well with bowlers who have "serious toe drag"
My guy wears a 10.5 to 11 The 10.5 = perfect, Strong, sturdy outside wall

He went straight to the bowling alley that afternoon and came back with a big smile. Said he may even have to sleep with them close tonight, sorta like a little boy with new tennies! Very pleased

I have never bowled in anything but Dexter. And never will probably. This is my fourth pair in almost 20 years. I was always happy with SST and these are even better than the ones I had before. Very comfortable, high quality, and look cooler than previous models. My usual size is closer to 10, but 9 1/2 from SST line fit perfectly.
At the first glance I was alarmed seeing the sliding soles/heels on the left shoe (I am left-handed) but they are symmetric and can be switched over easily.
Too bad Dexter does not supply additional soles/heels, covers and bags with these, but I still have the sets from SST 6 and 7. They are wider but can be cut to size, which I intend to do.
All in all, these are perfect. And thank you, bowling.com, your prices are unbeatable.

These shoes are new from Dexter. They replace the SST8 after receiving them I noticed that they were very similar to the tank model, except that both shoes have interchangeable soles.
Compared to the original SST8 they are a lot smaller on the over all with of the bottom of the shoe at least ½". Although it does not affect the with of the fit inside the shoe. They still run ½ size smaller than my street shoes. The new toe cap is a very good improvement. All the same normal slides and traction soles are the same althoe narrower . A large difference was the no longer supply additional slides, or heals or shoe cover. If you add all that up they would cost more than the older SST8. The construction looks to be very solid. You will love them.
Comfortable, Interchangeable Soles and Heels

When I got the shoes, I ordered it a half-size down from my normal shoe size and it fit absolutely perfect. The minute I stepped on the lanes, the shoes felt very comfortable on the lanes. For me, the sole was a little slick, but the more I broke them in, I started to get my tempo figured out and started hitting the pocket more.
Are the heels replaceable?

7/31/2017 - By krejworxThis is a brand new shoe that was just released. It is not the same shoe. The SST 8 cracked because people would drag their toe and those shoes were not meant for people that had serious toe drag.

9/29/2018 - By MelI have a pair of Dexter Ricky III. Size 10 1/2. What size do you think would fit me for the DAY 8 Pro?
11/10/2018 - By BryceThe Dexter brand should be pretty true to size in between the same brand so if you have had Dexters before, you should be able to get the same size. There are slight difference in the last and cut of the shoe but I would not think it is enough to change the size.

9/24/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffI usually wear a 9W dress shoe. Will this shoe be wide enough?
9/27/2019 - By JAMi have toe drag what shoe is right for me
9/29/2019 - By joe dThis shoe is actually not good for someone with toe drag because the traction pad has been known to peel back over time due to toe drag. With that being said, there are actually no bowling shoes designed to handle toe drag very well. Dragging your toe will wear down the toe of just about any shoe quicker but for this shoe it will cause other problems so I would not suggest this model.
10/1/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffI need to slide to keep up my speed. Will this shoe give me a smooth slide?
10/11/2019 - By BoomerThis shoe comes with an S8 slide sole which is the most common slide found on Dexter shoes. There are options that slide more than the S8 Slide so if you needed more slide you could go up to a higher number slide from S9-S12.
10/15/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffDo they run large or small
11/10/2019 - By ShawnThere is not a great way to know how the shoes will fit unfortunately. The best option is to get the True Fit Guarantee and this will let you exchange the first size for another size on the same shoe model and it make the exchange process quicker, easier, and cheaper.
