He we have The “Strike” Bowling shoes by Mod Shoes
When we very first started Mod Shoes we was asked for “Chisel Toe” bowling shoes, like the ones from the 80’s, the type Shelleys used to sell. It has taken this long to find a good supplier, and also get as close as possible to the shape. This style of design is only available from Mod Shoes
Notice that the front is much slimmer and less rounded than other bowling shoes on the market. And copied from a pair from the 80s.
Also we wanted to do a good bowling shoe, so the leather upper is super soft, and supple. Literally no wearing in ! The sole has an extra grip piece added at the front. So if you are wearing these out and about, you aren’t going to slip over (But if you do, you cant sue Mod Shoes)!
Sizing
Stick with size, unless you are super wide fitting. The design means they are more suitable to normal width, but a sizer bigger doesnt look big. We have had some back for being too big, please note that the leather is super soft, so if in between sizes, go down, not up. I am wideish 8.5 in my right foot, and an 8 was very good for me.
Upper: Leather
Sole : Man Made

I went up a size as my feet are wide. They were slightly too long so my normal size would have been ok

I really want to buy a pair of these for my son who’s the frontman of a band. Unfortunately the small selection of sizes is proving prohibitive. Are you going to be getting size 9 in any time soon?

Hi. Some of the colours we only do once, seasonally. Its likely these will come back, but not for a long time, may 2023. Sorry we cant keep all sizes all colours etc, hard to explain on here, but its combination of demand, and holding lots of stock. Sorry not better news

Very nice finish and incredibly soft leather. look very smart and a little different in this particular colour. I have an in-between size 8 or 9 slim foot and for soft leather shoes tend to go down size for the best looking fit because 9 is normally just too big. These are very snug as new but will be fine after a couple of outings. Excellent service for Modshoes
