Look great and work well too
As with any shoe the fit and feel is paramount. These are both, at a very reasonable price. The slide is average but that's what most folks want. Impressive color that gets great comments. I think these would be great for league bowlers as well as weekend warriors that just want their own shoes.

Like a Glove, and Probably “Tried B4 Someone Buyed”
This is my initial review of the KR Strikeforce Admiral Men's Mid-Performance Bowling Shoe.First of all, they fit like a glove!Love them!! And they look perfectly cool, without looking like loud, bowling shoes, nor boring pedestrian shoes. Mine were kind of a navy blue and black mesh color.Anyway, I normally wear a size 9 1/2, and I ordered these 9 1/2 wide, and I’m going to see if these guys make running shoes or sneakers, because so far, immediately, and after one use, they fit super awesome!So, there is a lot of discussion that they don’t “slide,” but my understanding is that needs to be broken in a little bit.There is also a lot of discussion and ire about getting “used” shoes. And I don’t know that they’re necessarily used, as they are probably more “tried (before you buy)” and returned, because the bottom of my shoes look like they were tried on and used once or twice—and definitely not unused (see photos out of the box). And I think at this price point, with a generous “try before you buy” policy, I think the consumer just has to expect they may get a pair of shoes that were tried on, just like you might experience in a shoe store— shoes that we’re tried on many times by many people, except, being bowling shoes, they were taken to the lanes once or twice, but otherwise new. And I think the manufacture considers that “new” also. And I think that is a condition and term we all have to agree to play, unless the consumer wants to absorb the cost of all of the returns, that a manufacturer would, then have to discount greatly as “used” merchandise. And for specialty shoes for around 55 bucks, that’s hard to do. Anyway, enough of that. You might expect shoes that were tried on.Anyway, regarding the “slide” action: yeah, first time out, not slippery, but also not sticky. to be seen if that does indeed break in and get slippery.And I’m really excited to NOT share in the foot perspiration and subsequent chemical spray disinfectant from hundreds of other users. Rather, having my own shoes, not to mention after about 10 uses, the shoes become effectively free as I don’t have to pay for shoe rentals at $5 a pop anymore.So, so far, highly recommended for being athletic, not high, end, performance, bowling shoes (which start around $120 a pair and go up quickly). And I’m not at that bowling level anyway.Happy with them, and recommended so far!I think you’ll like them too!

Excellent shoes
For me (I've got really messed up get btw) I had to buy 1/2 size up. I just tried them on & they are GREAT!!! I haven't bowled with them yet but....I have no doubt they will be excellent!!! As a side note, I originally ordered my normal size & they felt small so I returned them. There were no questions asked, refund was quick & the new shoes were sent VERY fast!!!! I highly recommend this company!!!!!
