Buy your own bowling shoes to save the cost of
shoe rental:
- EBay --
type bowling shoes into the search engine. Our family
bought several pair very inexpensively this way. We chose
to purchase a slightly larger size so that they could use the
shoes longer.
- Local Thrift Stores and Yard Sales -- This is another
avenue our family pursued to by inexpensive shoes. All of
the shoes we purchased were between $2 and $12.
- Craig's
List -- type bowling shoes into the search
engine.
-
Cheapbowlingballs.com has new shoes for $12 and up.
- You can find new shoes at
Bowling.com. They have a kid's equipment section and a
Closeouts/Specials section.
-
