I purchased this pair of shoes for a friend who didnt have her own, these are nice looking shoes, good arch support, good amount of slide. The only potential problem is that they run a little small. They're snug, but not to the point where they are too tight and uncomfortable. I think they just need to be broken in a bit. We bowl once a week, so nothing major, so far these are working out well for her. Great price for good shoes, beats the rentals. After a few times of bowling, it'll pay for itself!
