Linds Bowling Shoes Reviews

Across decades of competitive play, countless leagues, and worn-down approaches, one thing has remained consistent—my trust in Linds. Here are reviews from real bowlers who have put their Linds shoes to the test and wouldn’t bowl in anything else.

I’ve bowled in a dozen different brands over the last 25 years, but none have matched the feel, durability, and confidence I get from my Linds Men’s Classic Black shoes. I picked them up in 2006 at the recommendation of a teammate who’d had his for over 15 years. I was skeptical at first—how could one pair of shoes last that long, especially with how often I bowl? But now, nearly 20 years later, I’m the one making that same recommendation. The top grain U.S. leather broke in beautifully over the first few weeks and has only gotten more comfortable since. Unlike synthetic uppers, which tend to feel hot and stiff, this leather breathes and molds to your foot, giving you a personalized fit game after game. What really stands out is the buckskin slide sole. As a right-hander, I need a predictable slide on my left foot—something smooth but not slippery. This delivers just that, even on polished approaches. The heel traction sole adds a subtle brake that prevents over-sliding, which has saved my balance more times than I can count. I’ve used these shoes on wood and synthetic lanes across multiple states, and the performance has remained rock solid. Even the stitching and seams are intact after thousands of frames. I polish them once every few months and store them in a breathable bag—nothing fancy—and they just keep going. I’ve had friends switch brands three or four times in the last decade, chasing comfort or durability, but I’m still here with my same pair of Linds. If I ever do need to replace them, it’ll be with another pair of the exact same model. No hesitation.

As a coach, mom, and lifelong bowler, I don’t have time for shoes that need constant adjusting or special care. I need gear that works as hard as I do—and that’s exactly why I love my Linds Strikeforce Hybrid Velcro shoes. I originally bought them for quick on-and-off during busy days, when I’m shuffling between coaching high school practice, working part-time at the local alley, and bowling in my own league. But I was genuinely surprised by how high-performance they are. These aren’t just ‘easy shoes’—they’re top-tier in terms of comfort and consistency. The leather upper is soft but incredibly durable. I’ve accidentally kicked ball returns, stepped in water, and still, the finish holds up with no peeling or cracking. The dual Velcro straps are strong—they don’t loosen mid-game, and they keep my feet snug and stable through every throw. I’ve bowled full 3-hour sessions in them without any rubbing or soreness. The slide sole is made from real buckskin, and it gives me the same smooth slide as the lace-up classics, which was honestly unexpected. I thought I might lose some finesse by skipping the laces, but there’s no trade-off. One of the things I truly appreciate is how beginner-friendly these shoes are. I’ve recommended them to several of my female students who were struggling with fit or foot pain. One of them has plantar fasciitis and told me these were the only shoes that let her bowl without pain. That’s a huge endorsement. And from a style standpoint, they look clean and professional—not flashy, but classic. I’ve had mine for over a year now, and even with multiple practices and leagues each week, they’re still in near-perfect shape. I won’t be switching anytime soon.

I served 20 years in the military and picked up bowling as a stress reliever during my final deployment. When I retired, I joined three leagues and now bowl five nights a week. Needless to say, I put a lot of miles on my shoes. After burning through two pairs of ‘name brand’ bowling shoes in less than 18 months, I took a chance on the Linds Strikeforce Hybrid Lace shoes—and I’m so glad I did. From the first time I put them on, I knew these were built differently. The leather was supple but supportive, and the structure around the heel gave me the kind of locked-in stability I was used to from my service boots. What surprised me most was how balanced they felt during my approach. I’m a fairly aggressive bowler, and I need a shoe that gives me both freedom and control. The lace system lets me tighten up just where I want, and once laced, I don’t have to readjust mid-series like I did with previous brands. The slide sole—again, real buckskin—delivers a consistent glide even when oil patterns are tricky or the approach is tacky. The rubber traction sole on the opposite foot gives me just the right resistance to avoid over-sliding, which has saved my knees and back. Over the past 8 months, I’ve bowled well over 300 games in these, plus countless practice frames. The sole is wearing evenly, the leather still looks sharp, and there’s not a stitch out of place. Even better, my average has gone up by 12 pins since switching to these, mostly because I feel more confident and stable through my delivery. I’ve since recommended Linds to everyone in my league—and three teammates have already made the switch. Linds makes a product you can trust, and after years of searching, I’ve finally found the shoe that checks every box for performance, comfort, and durability.
