Limited Edition
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I have only had these shoes for a short period and only wore them for a short 12 week summer league. While I feel fortunate that I was able to bowl this summer, I am disappointed in the quality of the shoes. The top eyelet on my shoe began ripping, it is unreasonable fot this to happen after such a short period..
When ordering the the new 9ns do they ship the left handed and right hand or do you have to specify when ordering
10/25/2019 - By GPMThis shoe has interchangeable soles and heels on both feet. So you can make this right handed by putting the slide sole on the left shoe and the traction sole on the right shoe. Or you can make this left handed by putting the slide sole to the right shoe and the traction sole on the left foot. The pads work on both shoes so this works for either handed bowler.
10/28/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffDoes these shoes come with different slide pads, if so how many different ones come with it?
11/3/2019 - By Jason BThis shoe will not have any extra pads with it. It only comes with the pads that are on the shoe which are : THS7 slide pad, H5 SawTooth heel, THT2 traction pad, H2 Ultra Brake heel
11/5/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffDoes the slide pad work on both wood and synthetic approaches or do I need different slide pads?
12/19/2019 - By JonesyDepending on your bowling style you may need different slide soles for different approaches. The conveniece of the Dexter THE 9 shoes offer interchangeable soles for a custom slide when needed.
12/23/2019 - By Bowling.Com Staffhow would I know that the shoe is for left hander?
1/6/2020 - By Maddog20/20Left handed bowlers usually need the slide sole on the right shoe and the traction sole on the right shoe. This shoe is unique because the pads on both shoes are interchangeable so you can make this right or left handed just by switching the pads to the other foot.
1/10/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffAre these shoes true to size
1/18/2020 - By TankIt is hard to say exactly how this shoe will fit each person. Different shoes have slight differences and sometimes those difference are enough to make you have to get a different size and sometimes it is not a big enough difference. If you have had Dexters before then you may go with that size but if you have never had a Dexter before you may want to go with a model that is not on closeout so that you can exchange if the sizing is not a great fit.

2/19/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffWhat if they don’t fit?
3/7/2020 - By BR549If you have never had a Dexter shoe before then it could be hard to say how this shoe will fit you compared to your other shoes. With this being a closeout shoe, we would not recommend this option because it cannot be returned or exchanged unfortunately. You may want to consider a shoe that is not on closeout because you could do an exchange on the other shoes if they did not fit. We are sorry for any inconvenience on this.
3/10/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffWhat if they don’t fit upon arrival?
3/9/2020 - By MarktnorbUnfortunately this shoe is a closeout shoe and we cannot do returns or exchanges for a closeout item. If you have not had Dexter shoes before you may want to go with a model that is not on closeout just in case the fit was different than your other shoes. We are sorry we could not give a more definite answer on the sizing.
3/11/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffI need a size 12 in this shoe Dexter
4/9/2020 - By Italian stallionUnfortunately at the time of checking your question this shoe was sold out in the size 12. We show this item is discontinued so we are not able to order any more size 12 shoes unfortunately.
4/13/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffAre the shoes normal sizes or are they made for wides also?
5/23/2020 - By TrevorWhat is the best dexter shoe for toe drag wear
6/7/2020 - By brettUnfortunately there are not any shoes designed for toe drag. For every shoe you will eventually see the shoe wear or break down around the toe if you drag your toe. This model does have the toe clip to help prevent the pad from peeling back if you drag your toe but even the toe clip area will eventually wear down if you drag your toe.
6/8/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffWhat does platinum protection mean and for how long
8/8/2020 - By Bowler800Platinum protection is designed to help your warranty process be easier, quicker, and in most cases cheaper. So if something goes wrong with your shoes within the first year the platinum protection can help you with the warranty. For more details click the "?" beside the option.
8/10/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffCan I use the same slide pads that I have from the 9
8/8/2020 - By Bowler800You may use other THE 9 soles on this shoe and you may use any of the SST heels. You cannot use the SST soles though because they have to be compatible with THE 9 shoes for the soles to work.
8/10/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffDo these shoes come with any interchangeable sole & heels?
9/20/2020 - By Steve B.This will not have any extras included with the shoes. It will come with the following soles and heels on the shoe: THS7 slide pad, H5 Saw Tooth Heel, THT2 traction pad, H2 Ultra Brake Heel.
