Should bowling shoes be tight or loose?

Neither! Just like a pair of everyday sneakers, you want your shoes to be comfortable. Your bowling shoes should fit snugly around the heel to prevent slippage when moving, and they should have ample room for toe movement. If your feet are wide, consider purchasing a wide-fit shoe or going up a size. Read more on our blog for more on finding the best bowling shoes for the alley, for your feet.

What can I use to clean my bowling sneakers?

Cleaning your bowling shoes varies depending on the specific materials, so refer to the information that comes with your shoes for more detailed advice. In general, it’s best to use a slightly damp cloth or a mild soft-soap solution and wipe dry. Avoid wetting the sole, and instead, use a soft plastic bristle brush. Do not use metal or brass brushes, as they will wear out the sole. When cleaning the area, start with the toe part and move towards the heel.
