Title: Bowling Shoes.
Post by: WALSHY on July 20, 2009, 07:49:38 AM

I am geting some shoes spiked as I can get the service cheap in Australia, now all I need is some shoes to be spiked! I am a fast bowler and I am looking for And1 basketball shoes, I need them mostly white in colour. If anyone can post a link for an australian website that would be great!

Probably a strange question but why not buy cricket bowling shoes?
There has been a lot of talk over the last couple of years about spiking running shoes for example but do they give you the correct support for bowling?
Even at my old age I still wear high sides.

My feet are very narrow and bowling boots are wide.

Well as an old broken down slow bowler I can only suggest you buy the best you can afford. I wear Ascis gels. I trust you have emailed all the major companies and asked them for advice on your problem. Other than that I can make no further suggestions.

I have narrow feet so went for the Asics bowling shoes with the straps across the front, worked very well. No problems at all. Try them.

Had a look at them and the spikes are not in the right place for me, all I need is a model name for the shoes - I also think nikes would make good bowling shoes. Anyone know any model name that are light and quite high at the top for bowling, I also need to have no mesh as I need suport.
