KR Strikeforce Aviator Mens Athletic Bowling Shoes with Fixed Heel and Slide Pads for Right or Left Handed Bowlers

I purchased these bowling shoes for my teenage grandson who is joining a bowling league. I honestly had taken him to a bowling shop to try on shoes since I wanted to make sure that the shoe would fit him before ordering. First things first. If you go to a local shop you are going to spend $10-$15 more for the same shoe. I had him try on several different makes of shoes and he chose the KR Strikeforce Aviator in Black/Blue. Of course to him the big thing was that the shoe is "cool" looking or as his exact words were, "this shoe is sic". He wasn't looking for shoe facts like an adult would so for those of you who are looking for the facts of this shoe this is what I can tell you. The shoe is nicely made. Beyond its cool looks, the top material is lightweight and breathable. The design looks like it would be a mesh material but it isn't. It is a solid lightweight material. The shoe runs true to size. Around the sides of the shoe where it sits at the top of your foot meeting below your ankle it has a nice extra padding making it very comfortable to wear while bowling. I like that the laces are not completely flat or rounded but somewhere in-between and they stay tied. They are not that shiny material that comes undone. I also like that they are long enough to tie but not so long that you have all this extra lace and not know what to do with. The tongues are also padded so you don't get that pinching on the top of your foot. The bottoms of the shoes have grip on the heels and 3 grip lines that would be at the ball of your foot. The rest is smoother finish for the sliding that you do when your on the lanes. The best part was these shoes did not need a "break in period". They were comfortable from the minute my grandson put them on and bowled. I am not a bowling expert but I can tell you that this shoe is comfortable, and works well on the lanes without excessive sliding or gripping but the right mix.

Husband loves them. No slipping, comfortable and light weight. Fit is perfect n just good quality sneaker for bowling.

The fit is accurate. I ordered my usual 11 1/2 and the fit is perfect. Good looking shoe!

Nice looking and comfortable, vibrant colors. My teen likes them and has no complaints. They are very lightweight and honestly feel a little cheap but I think that lightweight is a plus in this activity. Just noting if you are wondering about the heaviness of the shoes.

The figment was great! My son loves to bowl with his new shoes!! Very happy with my purchase

Cool camo bowling shoes, very comfortable.

These KR Strikeforce Aviator shoes are comfortable right out of the box and feel just like a good athletic sneaker. The slide is smooth and consistent, and the grip feels solid where it needs to. They look great, fit true to size, and are a big upgrade from rental shoes. Excellent quality for the price!

Size is true to fit, very light weight and extremely comfortable. Replacing my 30 year old Lind Special Edition shoes.

They look great, fit great, and the price was great ... So overall ... um GREAT ! Well priced for a modern "training shoe" look, rather than the old square looking classic bowling shoe.

Nice shoe. Very light. Comfortable to wear. Had a compliment first time I was wearing them. I can't speak to anything past wearing them a couple of times as I haven't had them that long.

muy buenos tenis para el boliche

I've had these for a year now, and they are still working great. I bowl once a week, so I figured I should get my own shoes. After seeing some higher prices elsewhere, I decided to try these out, and honestly I feel like you can't beat the quality for this price. After about 50 uses, the pads are still intact too.

Fit well
