I have some friends who are avid bowlers, and after tagging along a few times, I decided to join in on the fun. Shoe rental at the local Brunswick runs about five bucks a pop, and I quickly realized that if I was going to bowl with any frequency, shoes would be a worthy investment. So I paid the pro shop a visit and ended up walking out with a pair of these Etonic Glo-Skulls for about $40.

I've gone bowling sporting these kicks several times, and I'm happy to report that I am completely satisfied with them. While there's nothing particularly spectacular about them, they are both comfortable and functional. They feel like a regular pair of sneakers, which is a definite upgrade from rentals. And of course, they are smooth on the bottom so you can bowl in them. Plus, because these are my shoes, I no longer have to deal with the funk of random strangers' feet--any funk in these babies is all mine! ;-)

I consider the skull design an added bonus. The skulls add a bit of extra flair to my game, and they glow under black lights, so they're perfect for midnight bowling AKA cosmic bowling!

If you're a pro bowler looking for something fancy, then you're probably better off looking for more sophisticated (and more expensive) shoes. But if you're a casual bowler who hits the lanes every now and again and you want the benefits of owning your own shoes--namely, saving time and money--I recommend you check these out. They're a solid, straightforward pair of shoes that will allow you to bowl in comfort and style.

PROS:
- Reasonably priced
- Comfortable
- Functional
- No random foot funk
- Fun design

CONS:
- None

One of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon! I payed for 5-7 day shipping and I literally received them the day after I placed the order.

I bowl on a nearly professional level, and I usually hit the lanes about twice a week. After using the crummy lane shoes for so long I was ready to make the investment in a good pair of shoes. These shoes are perfect. They are sturdy, really comfortable, have the perfect amount of slide, and even look stylish. Most of my bowling friends are wishing they had picked up a pair instead of going with the plain, more expensive, pairs that are now falling apart. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to get out of the horrible lane shoes.

I just joined a bowling league and I was told to buy my own shoes. I bought these babies and I am happy with the purchase. Not only are they my own, so I don't have to put my feet in nasty shoes, but these things are comfy and stylish. I have gotten many comments on them! Highly recommended.

Great product, shipped fast and well. Improved the recipients game (not provable!) by 20 pins <grin>.
