aryan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've been invited to go bowling. The bowling ally only has leather shoes and doesn't allow outside shoes on the lanes. Now I'm in a predicament and feeling conflicted. Going bowling would be fun, but would it be ethical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshrew Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Not all bowling shoes are made of leather. There's a good chance that the ones at the lane might be, unfortunately the tag is either not there or so worn that they don't say. But they do make ones that are not made of leather.

I know but I called and asked this particular bowling ally and they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colee Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've been a bowler since I was ten or so (came in third in the state last year) and that's the one dilema I have with the sport. Leather is used for the slide, and I've yet to come across a bowling shoe that uses another material for it. As a result, I refuse to get a new pair of shoes unless I find a completely non leather pair. Djshrew, I'd love to see the bowling shoes you mentioned. It'd seriously make my year to own a pair!

CollegeB Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 If you chose to wear them you might be less freakish to your friends, and making a scene won't really influence anyone nor bring the cow back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah, but my other option would have just been to not go bowling. But I went and the deed is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganEssentials Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I heard a few years ago that Dexter made some non-leather bowling shoes. Not sure if they still do, but worth a check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
