The Best Kinds of Bowling Shoes
The perfect bowling shoes do not have to be expensive. You can wear a cheap one as long as you are comfortable with it. Take care of it properly to last you a long time.
A good pair of bowling shoes plays a major role in any bowler's performance. There are different manufacturers offering varied styles, designs for support, and even fit. You may experience wearing different sizes of bowling shoes from two different brands.
Wear a comfortable pair always to enjoy a good game. Try it on before buying, making sure that it there are no roughness in your movements whatsoever. There are mainly two kinds. It could be for athletic or for performance. Athletic bowling shoes have sliding soles on each shoe while performance bowling shoes are specifically created to give bowlers a better performance.
A performance bowling shoe is different from athletic bowling shoe. The first one is made for sliding and the other one is for braking. Furthermore, the athletic shoes only have the sliding strip. Performance shoes are also specifically designed for left-handed bowlers or right-handed bowlers.
The sliding shoe helps the player to have an easier slide while delivering the ball. The braking sole gives traction for stopping. Choose the performance bowling shoes if you want to compete. If you are playing bowling for recreation only, it is not very important but you will play better if you choose the athletic kind.
Just keep in mind that comfort is the main consideration. But if you want to be a professional bowler, your shoes will greatly affect your performance. Some have pads that can be interchanged. This feature allows you to fit your shoes to the surface you will play on.
Shopping for the best fitting bowling shoes is not an easy task. Be guided by some important tips and factors to look for in a good pair. The easiest way to finding the right bowling shoes for you is by measuring your own feet. Measure the exact width and length of both your feet.
Prepare a paper and pen, then sit on the floor and bend your knee. When your foot is comfortably resting on the floor, trace your foot and then the other. Measure the length of both feet using a tape measure and jot down the measurements. Now, get the width of both your feet and write it down. And subtract 2/10 inch from the length and width to adjust the space between the pen mark and the side of the foot. You can find the proper fit of bowling shoes from these measurements.
Bowling shoes should always be clean. The slide strip and the grip shoe must be clean to work best. Dirty bowling shoes can affect your performance. Dirty bowling shoes may give you a bad game. A dirty sliding shoe can give you a slide you are not used to when bowling.
It is easy to take care of your bowling shoes. You only need a clean cloth or rag and some water. Wet the rag and wring it lightly. Use the wet cloth to clean the dirty spots of the shoe and use it only on the bottom. Clean the slide strip, it is the little leather or plastic at the front of the sole. Do not rub the slide strip just gently wipe it. Clean the other shoe and dry both with towel or cloth.
Regularly polish your shoes to keep it in tiptop condition. Use dry cloth in polishing and wiping the bottom of your bowling shoes. Polish both the shoes for a few minutes. This will remove the dirt and makes the slide strip smoother.
Buying used bowling shoes can help you try various brands and see how they perform. You will know about the difference between athletic and performance bowling shoes by trying these used shoes. It can help you decide which will give you the proper fit before investing on an expensive and high quality pair.

The Upcoming Etonic Bowling Shoes Collection
Bowling shoes are not the basic, clumsy piece of footwear that they used to be. There is a lot of time and money spent in designing new ones and as a result, the bowlers are getting better and better due to the technology involved. Etonic bowling shoes are supposed to be the most comfortable bowling footwear that you can possibly buy and looking at them, they do seem padded and inviting.
Although Etonic have not been around for as long as many other companies, it has grown very quickly and are generally considered to be the second best manufacturer of bowling shoes in the world. As with other companies, it is always looking for ways to help the bowler improve their game and 2011 will be no exception.
The brand has a number of new products ready to go onto the market and it is expected that bowlers who wear Etonic bowling shoes will see an improvement in their game. A lot of the products will go off the market and the ones that stay will be the ones that customers have asked to stay. Considering the numbers of shoes Etonic produces, it probably spends more time manufacturing the more popular models and also developing new ones.
This will also increase profits, as if they make a lot of shoes that bowlers don't want they will be left in the stores. New models however will be eagerly awaited and often snapped up as soon as they hit the stores. New items will be the E basic and E sports models. They will be designed to be wider near to the front while still making sure that there is a sufficient grip around the heel area.
There has also been a change of materials and the new product should be more comfortable, support the foot better, and also make sure that the feet do not get too hot. Etonic bowler shoes also have improvements regarding the slide. This will be smoother and give the player a better movement on the alleys as they bowl.
The sole of the shoe will have a special flex zone and this will be across the ball of the foot, as this is the area where the foot flexes. Anyway the shoes will feel more natural and allow the foot to flex as it would if a shoe was not being worn. The heel will have reduced friction due to the new design and this will mean that the slide will be the same game after game providing that the alley is the same.
This means that once you have got used to the shoe, you will know how much you need to slide each time you release the ball. etonic bowling shoes are helping generations of American bowlers play better than they would have been able to without wearing these shoes. They are now the official footwear of the PBA and as such, there will be many children who want the same brand, as they believe it will help improve their game.
