Women’s Bowling Shoes

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in ladies’ bowling shoes?

There are several attributes you should look for when purchasing your first pair of women’s bowling shoes. Of course, fit and comfort come first. Durability is also a concern for any footwear. With bowling shoes, you’ll also want a smart compromise between the right amount of slide and the right amount of grip. It’s a balance, and you’ll know it when you find it!

Should I use powder on my bowling shoes to get more slide?

You should not use any product on your bowling shoes because it gets on the lane and interferes with play. In fact, it’s against the rules to use any performance-enhancing substance on your shoes for this reason. Instead, consider a bowling shoe with microfiber slide inserts or sliders that are worn over the front of the shoe.

I’m new. Do I absolutely need to buy bowling shoes?

Buy them when you’re ready. If you’re new, you may want to wait a minute to get used to the game and see if it’s really for you. We’re pretty sure it is (because bowling is for everybody!) If you are enjoying bowling, having your own bowling shoes can provide a lot more comfort and performance than rental shoes.
