Facts About Cheap Bowling Shoes

A regular bowler knows that the right ball is the most important piece of equipment you can buy, and you should spend good money to get the one that’s best for you. Shoes are important too, but they are dependent on what you’re actually doing. A serious player wants a shoe that matches his throw style, and if a lot of playing is planned, a more expensive, durable pair will be cheaper in the long run. If you’re thinking that renting shoes really isn’t that much money, think again. Even if you’re only bowling once a week, a pair of cheap shoes will cost less than rentals in just a few months. Furthermore, you really can’t put a price on comfort. A shoe that fits your foot the way you need it to will make all the difference in your performance. Finally, even though the rental shoes are disinfected after every use, there is a lot to be said for shoes that are worn only by you. Feeling good and clean in your shoes makes a difference on the lanes.

Buying Cheap Bowling Shoes Online

When looking for cheap bowling shoes, you can’t do better than to start at the Cheap Bowling Balls site. There you’ll find several brands and categories from which to choose and prices as low as $25.

Other good sites for bargains include:

• Buddies Pro Shop
  • Buddies Pro Shop has a great site that allows you to shop within your budget, featuring price categories from $1-$25, $25-$50 and so on up to $150+. They carry such respected brands as Dexter, Dynorooz, Etonic, Circle Athletics, Brunswick, Linds and BSI, as well as many others. They also carry replacement parts for Dexter, Dynorooz and Etonic shoes, making those shoes that much more of a bargain, as you don’t have to replace an entire shoe when the heel starts to lose its grip. Furthermore, since several Etonic shoes cost about $25, they pay for themselves before the bowling league’s season is half over.

• Bowlzilla
  • Besides having a great name, Bowlzilla offers serious closeout bargains on all your bowling equipment, including shoes. The selection is extremely limited. Currently, there are only four shoes listed, but they are Dexters and Brunswicks for under $30, so if they have your size, snap them up. This is the sort of site where you want to check regularly to see what’s on offer and jump fast if they have something you like.

• Best Bowling
  • Best Bowling has a whole page on its site devoted to cheap bowling shoes and announcing that the best deals are to be found here. You’ll have to judge for yourself, but they do have quality brands marked down by as much as 45%. With free shipping on orders over $69, you really can score a deal.

Of course, you shouldn’t limit yourself to sites specifically selling bowling shoes. If you know what you want, an online store like Amazon can provide fantastic deals. A pair of women’s Dexters is currently listed at 63% off the suggested retail price. Even without free shipping, it’s a serious bargain.

Secondhand Cheap Bowling Shoes

If it’s the bargain you’re after and you don’t mind that the shoes have already been worn, you might try shopping for shoes on eBay. Most shoes there are only lightly worn, and many are new, and excellent prices can be found. With these, as with any online purchase, you always run the risk of not getting an absolutely perfect fit, which does shadow the savings aspect. However, if you’re just starting out as a serious bowler and are on a budget, you should definitely focus on getting a good ball and save some money on the shoes.
