Question:


shoes size 7.5 is this shoe a true fit?

7/9/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The shoe size question is one that we often get but unfortunately it is not one that we can give a definite answer on. We do have some reviews where customers say this shoe runs big and we have heard from some bowlers that it runs small compared to their other shoes. For the large majority of people that get this shoe they stick with the first size and so we do not advertise that it runs small or large because we do not have enough feedback one way to determine if it is large or small. I would suggest to get your normal shoe size and also consider the True Fit Guarantee which would cover your exchange expenses to get the next size up or down on this if the first size did not fit. I am sorry I could not give a more definitive answer on this.

I’ll purchase the decker 9s with the wire shoestring I know how to train him but I’m not sure how to loosen them up I think I’m doing something wrong could you tell me how to loose the wire

9/6/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


To loosen the BOA system lift up on the turn dial. This should release the line so that you can flex your foot and remove it from the shoe. Then press the turn dial back in to start tightening it again.

Question:


what does right and left convertible mean?

11/11/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This shoe is unique because the pads on both shoes are removeable and the pads will fit either foot. So the traction sole can go on the left or right shoe and the slide sole can go on the left or right shoe so this shoe can be right handed or left handed just by switching the pads.
