Question:


Will the sst8 match up with someone that basically plants? Also I have never had shoes with the all rubber on the non slide foot. I don't know if that would cause a problem for me. Thanks

Answer:


Hello Joe. The easiest way to exchange shoes is by purchasing our True Fit Guarantee when you purchase the shoes. You can see the details of this guarantee above right below the shoe size selector. If you don't purchase the True Fit Guarantee then you can still return or exchange the shoes through our regular return/exchange policy. You can read about that here: https://www.bowling.com/service/returns/.

Why are the black and gold SST8 GIVEN A BETTER RATING THAN THE WHITE AND GOLD SST8's

5/16/2016 - By

Answer:


Hello Russ! The ratings are from our customer reviews. So that just means that more customers who have reviewed these shoes have given it a higher rating than the customers who have reviewed the other color of these shoes.

Question:


The shoes referred to as the 9s; are they a better shoe by design, a newer improved version?

5/16/2016 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


That's a good question, Russ. Yes, THE 9s are the newer Dexter high performance shoes that have some improvements on them. Whether they are a better shoe is more of a matter of opinion, but they are both very good shoes.

Question:


Are sst8 shoes true to size

6/25/2016 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Hello! If anything, the shoes might run just a little bit big, but usually not enough to make a difference in what size you order. We also offer a True Fit Guarantee, so I would purchase that, just in case you get the shoes and they don't fit the way you want it to.

Answer:


Hello Jay! Yes, this shoe has interchangeable soles and heels on both feet, so even it it comes set up for a right handed bowler, you can just switch the soles and heels over to the opposite feet.
