KR StrikeforceAviator Mens Bowling Shoe

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.

These bowling shoes offer an excellent combination of functionality and style. They provide a good slide on the toes with enough grip on the heels. They are incredibly lightweight and comfortable, making them easy to wear for extended periods. One of the best features is how easy they are to slide on and off without having to untie or tie the laces, yet still remain well fitted while wearing them.

The shoe is nice. It’s comfortable. It does what a bowling shoe is supposed to do. Seems well made and durable. The fit is nice, a little roomy maybe but good. These shoes may have a little more breathability than my previous bowling shoes.

This was a present for my son. I like the look of it as it will go well with pants or shorts year round and my son said it's pretty comfortable. I liked the price and felt it was a decent value compared to other bowling shoes I looked at.

Nice, light weight and very comfortable. Look good also. Perfect for basic bowling shoes and a great price.

These bowling shoes are exactly as described. Size is perfect. Would recommend.

Bought for a friend. He loves them!

Bought these for my son when he joined the school bowling team. He loves the cool design but also can’t get over how comfortable they are compared to your rented bowling shoes. Would definitely recommend these! True to size

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.

Comfortable shoes

Muy buen par de zapatos para bolos en relación calidad / precio. Espero estrenarlos muy pronto!

Son muy cómodos, tienen buena calidad

The most important item to watch for is these shoes are not made in China. They are made in the USA. Since Canada does not make bowling shoes the USA is OK
