Bowl in style
This is my second set of shoes. I like to use them when I bowl casually with my family and friends. I sometimes use them on league nights as well when I feel my regular shoes are just somehow not making the cut during play and believe me, they make a positive difference.

If they wear we will buy them again
Great product great price we already told people about them. It's best to have your own rental shoes then to rent shoes lol I live with sanitizer and so do my kids and when we saw that they didn't clean the bowling rental shoes we decided that we had to buy our own. As the kids grow we will buy the next size and the next size and the next size thank you bowling.com we are happy!!!

These are great shoes. They have that classic retro look I was after. Perfect even on the shabbos. Gutters and strikes... But that's just my opinion man.

Great shoes!
The shoes are a great deal. Comfortable enough for the price. Good for casual recreational bowlers. Not for league. But happy with the shoe and no more renting. Pays for itself in five uses.

good quality for a good price.
I recently became a league bowler and I was tired of renting house shoes. I'm happy with this purchase. I like the rental style and my expectations were met regarding the quality of this shoe, considering the lower price point. I'm saving money over renting and after wearing this shoe a few times now, I know they'll last as long as I need them to. Overall, very pleased and would purchase again. Also, fast shipping! Thanks!

I bought these shoes to save money on rentals while I improve my bowling score. The shoes are durable and comfortable. I bought my regular shoe size and they fit perfectly. A great product at a reasonable price.

Love these things
I don't bowl, I bought these because I love the style. My previous pair lasted about 3.5 years of being my go-to shoes, wearing them all the time, rain or shine. If you only use them to bowl, I can imagine they'd last quite a bit longer than that.
By Bowlmeister from Earth
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Shoes Good, "Packaging Fee" of $5.95 pretty bogus
Shoe is fine but "free shipping" with "packaging fee" of $5.95 is annoying. They say the packaging fee is a one-time thing so if you ordered 50 items at once in your shopping cart it would still be just $5.95. The problem is....who orders that many things? It's really just a shipping charge. Call a spade a spade.

They are what they are, which makes them good.
I bought these shoes for my nephew. I miss understood what size he wore. I suggested if we should return them. He refused. He likes them so much he wants to grow into them. Which will be in about a year or two...lol. These are really rental shoes. They are what they are. For the price and for someone who bowls casually these are great at the price point. It's obvious they will last a long time with casual use. If anything, if you have friends who go bowling with you, buy the pair and keep them for them. That is what my brother's family is going to do. If the bowling houses are going to charge as much as they do for rentals, why not buy a reasonable priced pair for your friends, that you keep for the next time you go bowling with your friends.
Oh, if you buy this pair, the size is printed on the back of the shoe. I'd suggest putting your name or marking it somehow so the bowling alley doesn't think your walking away with one of their pair of shoes.

Runs A Little Large, Wear Quickly
Best Uses:
Occasional Bowling
Bottom Line:

Pretty good for the price
The shoe is great for bowling once in a while. It is stiff but the heel is durable. Buy this if you don't like renting shoes. Other than that, buy something else if you play more than twice a week

Good purchase but sizing not accurate.
I think the product was fair for what i bought it for. Im a casual bowler (once per month) and I make sue with these shoes. However the soxing wasn't perfect. I'' a true 10.5 in every other shoe but these 10.4s were too big.
By CB in the OC from Laguna Hills, CA
Pros:
Lightweight
Best Uses:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not a True Fit
I bought these shoes as a Christmas gift for my 19 year old son who bowls about once every other week. He consistently wears 11 1/2 shoes at every bowling alley we've been too but these shoes feel like a size too big at that size. His natural shoes size is 11 1/2. The low profile is a good feature. Most bowling shoes seem very bulky.

Answer:
I normally wear a 4E in New Balance and Skechers makes a relaxed fit that I can also wear. I wore these bowling shoes tonight in a size 10 and they felt great! Even though they say they don't come in a wide width they worked for ME. And I have very wide feet!

Question:
Do these come in narrow size 13
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Mel, this shoe is essentially the most standard shoe that Classic makes. That being said, it doesn't really come in any variations in width or style. So unfortunately it isn't available in a narrower version; it's going to be a standard D width.

Question:
Can I compare the size with the size I usually rent from the alley?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello! Yes you can compare these with the bowling alley sizes. Just keep in mind that the shoes at the bowling alleys are all worn in pretty well, considering people wear them all day long everyday. So the shoes at the bowling alley will prob be a little bit bigger than the brand new ones until you break them in.

Question:
Do I have to return these after i wear them like are they an actual rental?
Have an answer to this question?
Question:
I currently use rental shoes and would like to purchase. What can you recommend that would be a step up from the classic rental shoe but would give me the same type of sole contact and slide feel. Thanks
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Unfortunately when you go one step up from the classics you get into the shoes that have a microfiber slide sole and that will be different than the leather slide you get with the rental style shoes. You have to go pretty far up to something like a Linds Mens Classic Black to get a higher quality shoe that still has a leather style slide sole.
