I like this lightweight shoe a lot.
I just recently purchased these shoes when I saw someone in my bowling center wearing them. I liked the "croc" version of these shoes, but didn't like the color changing version. So I bought the "stealth" version of these shoes. The uppers are a very light stretchable nylon (or whatever material) that is vented, which means your foot feels good wearing them. The T.H.E 9 series is a shoe that the professional bowlers wear, and after wearing them, they are very comfortable, (I liked the raised heel) and the slide is just right for my game. I don't have a long slide, so the pads that came with the shoe worked just fine. I'm a league bowler, and see some guys wearing different versions of this shoe. I will get some plastic shoe trees and some "sneaker balls" because I will keep them in my bag, and don't want them to either stink, and I want them to keep form since the uppers are very lightweight.The only reason why I am giving them four stars is because when I received the shoes, I only received one shoe cover. I am trying to contact Dexter to rectify the situation, but haven't heard from them. I have some old shoe covers to protect them when I'm off the lanes, or to store them in my bag.Otherwise, I'm satisfied with my purchase, since I like quality shoes, and will pay the premium price for something I will use for a great deal of time. Dexter is a quality brand, and I know they will hold. My SST 8's held up for many years, and I was ready to purchase a new pair, I went with the T.H.E. 9's.
