Traction and slide pads live on both feet and either pad works on either foot without trimming.\n\nA durable leather and KPU overmold upper gives THE 9 a supportive, classic build.\n\nHow the Dexter THE 9 Slides\n\nTHE 9 uses a patented symmetrical, universal interchangeable sole: slide and traction pads plus heels are removable on both shoes and right or left convertible without trimming.\n\nHow THE 9 System Works\n\nBoth shoes carry a THS7 slide pad and THT2 traction pad in the Hyperflex channels, so you can set the shoe up for a right- or left-handed bowler and swap pads without trimming as the lanes change.\n\nA versatile universal heel system takes the full Dexter heel range, ships with H5 and H2 Ultra Brakz heels, so you can fine-tune brake and slide.\n\nUpper and Fit\n\nA durable leather and KPU overmold upper gives THE 9 a supportive, classic build.\n\nTraditional laces give a secure, classic fit, and a removable molded footbed lets you run your own insole.\n\nDexter THE 9 Specs\n\nSpecifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Shoe Is Right For\n\n✓Serious league and tournament bowlers: Patented universal total-interchangeable performance.\n\n✓Bowlers who tune their slide: Swap slide and traction pads on both feet without trimming.\n\n✓Right- or left-handed bowlers: Symmetrical universal design converts between hands.\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Universal total interchangeable: Either pad works on either foot without trimming.\n\n·Closure: Traditional laces.\n\n·Fit: Runs true to size; go down a half for a snugger slide.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Getting the Most From the Dexter THE 9\n\nDialing In Your Slide\n\nMatch the slide sole to the floor: a higher-number sole gives more glide on a sticky house pattern, a lower number grips more on a slick tournament shot. Higher number means more slide. Have sole and heel swaps done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nFit and Sizing\n\nOrder your normal size, or go down a half for a snugger, more consistent slide.\n\nCare\n\nKeep the slide sole clean and dry, and store spare soles flat. Use a slide-foot shoe cover when you step off the approach so the sole stays consistent.\n\nEarn points on every Dexter purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program. Every pair you add builds toward your next reward.\n\nShop With Confidence at BowlersMart\n\nThe Dexter Men's THE 9 WT Black Wide Bowling Shoes ships free with no minimum purchase and is backed by our 60-day return policy.
