How to Pick Bowling Shoes

Choosing bowling shoes is the most important step of becoming a bowler. Most of the considerations are personal preferences, but they are important nonetheless. The following steps will help you decide how to pick bowling shoes, so you can improve your game.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Decide if you want your golf shoes to be Velcro or lace up. The performance of these shoes is definitely not determined by this factor. It is completely a personal preference. Bowling shoes also come in different brand names, colors, and some with designs on the side.
2. Choose the shoe that you like the best. Visit bowling supply stores for the best selection of bowling shoes. You can get shoes for left or right handed people. However, be certain you are comfortable in the shoes you purchase. Do not settle for a pair that does not feel right. Wait on the pair that fits you perfectly.
3. Wear socks that are thick until you have your new shoes broken in. This will prevent blisters and other problems caused by stiff shoes. You may choose to continue to wear these thick socks even after the shoes are broken in and are soft, due to the comfort they provide your feet.
4. Take care of your shoes. Make sure you clean and polish them regularly and don't wear them outside. Bring an extra pair of street shoes to change into before you leave the alley.

Tips & Warnings

• Put inserts into the bowling shoes for added comfort.
