Dexter SST 5

Pros: Changeable soles on sliding shoe, colors offered, no break-in period needed
Cons: Cut of the shoe

Last bowling season I was bummed when my second favorite pair of bowling shoes, just a basic SST made by Dexter, began to fall apart - not a lot, but just little enough to upset me. They were less than a year old and for the money that I pay for Dexter...

Pros: Comfortable, adaptable, stylish
Cons: Price

If you've bowled on a regular basis before either on a league or just recreationally, you already know the benefits of having your own shoes. They fit each time, they slide predictably, and they look better than the house shoes!

What is so...

Pros: comfort , versatility
Cons: looks

I've been bowling for 25 years,I've always used Linds shoes, custom and semi custom. But I have to say that these new Dexter shoes [Black & Gold ones] are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had on.
I bought them because of the different...

Pros: replaceable soles and heels; dont stick to lanes
Cons: not made for left-footers; one type peels

SST 5's in my mind are the best kind of bowling shoes known to man. You got the replaceable heel and the replaceable soles. You have different kinds of soles for different kinds of lane conditions and they have one for all different kinds of bowlers....

Pros: Mutiple sliding soles/heels for different approaches
Cons: Wearing down on pivot foot tip caused by dragging foot

I was using a pair of Linds Classics that worked out for me pretty well until one day when I stepped outside into a puddle of soda. I thought my bowling day was done until a nice gentlemen from Dexter saw what had happened and asked me if I would wear...

Pros: very soft, adaptable, looks great
Cons: wears out, too many possible changes, one excuse to bowl bad

Dexter is a Linds want-a-be! Looks good but doesn't last. Nice looking shoe with way too much
baggage. I want to concentrate on lane conditions not approach conditions! Change a slide pad,
change a heel? OK I'll grant you sticky or slippery...

Pros: interchangable slide soles and heels, VERY comfortable and stylish
Cons: none

These shoes are awesome, and incredibly stylish (in my opinion). I love these shoes so much i sometimes want to wear them in public. And they're just as comfortable, if not more comfortable, then my everyday Airwalks. I often catch myself wearing these...

Pros: comfortable, reliable, versatile
Cons: none that I can think of

Eight months ago, I slipped and fell -- at a Bowling Center -- and tore my hamstring. To say I lost faith in my equipment would be putting it mildly. I was so afraid of the shoes that I had, that I shortened my approach to 3 steps and was still scared....

Pros: Great feel, extremely useful for the serious bowler.
Cons: A bit costly, worth every penny.

To put it plainly, the Dexter SST 5 is the only shoe you should ever think about buying.
Let's talk about usefulness...I am a very active and serious bowler throwing at least 35 games a week not including tournaments or other special events. The...

Pros: Looks great, very comfortable
Cons: Durability is questionable.

Well I had been bowling for a while and wore out my old bowling shoes, so time for a new pair. I looked around at different styles and prices and decided to go with the SST5. Hey lets face it. This is possibly the best looking bowling shoe on the market,...

Pros: Good look, good fit
Cons: may not be so durable

I got these shoes almost a year ago, and I think they are great. The main reason I bought these shoes was the unique and eye-catching look of them. I wanted a shoe that people would notice and say "Hey, those are some cool bowling shoes."...

Pros: Great sliding and push-off base, flexibility of slide surfaces.
Cons: None

After 10 years of an old pair of Linds, the gaping hole in my push-off toe convinced me to consider a new purchase. Checking with the local pro shop, I was presented with an impressive little brochure describing the Dexter SST-5. Interchangeable...

Pros: Fits Good
Cons: No consistent slide

I bought a pair of SST5 this August. I bowled about 21 games with the shoes. While the fit was perfect, I have never struggled with my game more in my life. I was averaging mid 190's. Sold the shoes, put on my old pair of Linds Classics with perforated...

Pros: 16 different slide condidtions
Cons: No more shinny shoes in production

Since I saw the SST5 Black with Gold trim in the cataloge I knew I had found my new bowling shoes. These shoes have helped me adjust to slippery approach conditions and sticky approach conditions. With the 16 different slide patterns you have some many...

Pros: Great Look & Preformance with a life time warranty
Cons: Still looking for more styles

These are the shoes any serious or simi-serious bowler should buy, there are worth it! They look great, work great and have a LIFE TIME WARRANTY! With 5 removable sliding soles and for any type of aproach condition you can't go wrong. The pictured Blue...
