Bowling shoes aren't inherently any more or less attractive than any other type of footwear. What has JR got against bowling shoes?

I was just thinking about this last week when I picked up a picker collection from a friend of mine moving. He had two pair of bowling shows and those things were nasty looking. I guess bowlers have a favorite or lucky pair and wear them for a long time.

I think it's because rental shoes are worn by many, many feet for a long, long time.
They become nasty fast.

Those are objectively more ugly than most all types of shoes.

Dude, where do you bowl that you find bowling shoes in such good condition? Last time I went bowling (many years ago) I had to exchange the original pair they gave me because the sole of one of them wasn't even attached to the toe area anymore and just flopped around while I walked.

As a shoe collector myself or "sneaker head" as the kids say, bowling shoes are absolutely hideous. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them anywhere but a bowling alley.

Some bowling shoes are more decent, but most of them begin looking not-great, and wear and tear makes them rather heinous.
In any case, like bowling shoe ugly matches, they are often awkward and clunky.

This whole thread is a trap to see who has strong feelings about the prettiness of footwear and trap people in subtly confessing to foot fetishes and you guys have all taken the bait hard

But guess it's turned into that now. |

I always thought bowling shoes were ugly on purpose, so they'd both fit a wide variety of feet and so people would be less likely to steal them

If only Tony Atlas was a member here, he could give us his expert opinion. This thread would be right up his alley.
