My friend Bought some new shoes last year cost £50. in one season they fell to pieces with all the bottom coming away
She took them back to the shop,

She has always worn a size five and she ended up coming back with a pair of size seven
Couldn't believe it nobody can go up two sizes in shoes she had to pay an extra fiver ,
Thought I would warn everyone these shoes I think are factory seconds and ended up with the wrong size on them,


Get ripped off with the Price of Bowling Shoes

Hi Barbie,

Know what you mean about the price, I did buy a pair on e bay and they are great. Although I prefer to try shoes on before I buy but these are great!!!

I do find with bowling shoes is that if you have a decent pair they last a good couple of years!!
Considering the amount of use they get, guess they are good value???

Morning Surfer bought a new pair at the beginning of this season, the ones I had were good in the wet weather, but when it got hot they

seemed to weigh a ton and they really draw the feet, after a game of three hours couldn't wait to get them off,

So am back to the ones with the small punched holes in, because they let the air circulate, haven't played in the rain yet so I expect I will get

wet feet,

I think you need two pairs one for the rain with a good grip, and one for when the weather is Hot

Hi Everyone,

Just bought and received a pair of shoes bought on E-Bay, £18.50p including postage size 8 new.

Fit & look great would have paid £40+ around hear, thanks for the tip,
of to run up and down the 'Green' and show off my new shoes!!!

E T,

Hi ET might give E Bay a try, very good idea,
Know one of our girls bought a pair of these new Comfy fit Bowling Shows and they cost a fair bit,
They look more like trainers and very good in the rain, but recently she says they smell dreadful more than the normal ones, like rotten fish and got to admit her whole bag smelt,
She is going to try washing the insoles, I would think twice about these shoes epically in hot weather,

Lot of Money if they smell too bad to wear

Good Morning Angel

Have been washing my shoes for a good time now, only problem I find is they have started to curl at the toes,
Someone gave me a good tip and told me to put an old towel into the shoes helps to keep them from curling, also odor eaters,
Bit late for the first one am starting to look like something out of Aladdin, but will let you know how the odor eaters insoles get on,

Wearing them out fast with all the games I'm playing
