It is a lightweight, right-handed bowling shoe built for the bowler who is ready to own their slide instead of renting someone else's.\n\nA fixed E8 microfiber slide sole, a grippy Epic-Traction push-off sole, and a cushioned blown EVA footbed give you a consistent, controlled slide and a stable plant, the performance basics done right without a premium price.\n\nHow the Epic Men's Ares Slides\n\nYour slide foot is the one opposite your bowling hand, so as a right-handed bowler you slide on your left foot and push off with your right. The Ares has a fixed E8 microfiber slide sole on that left foot for a consistent, controlled glide, and a fixed Epic-Traction sole on the right foot for a stable, grippy push-off.\n\nThe Fixed Slide Sole and Push-Off\n\nThe E8 microfiber slide sole gives you an average, controlled slide right out of the box, the friction level that works across the widest range of approach surfaces. There is nothing to swap or adjust, so your slide reads the same every time you lace up.\n\nOn the push-off foot, the Epic-Traction sole grips the approach for a stable, powerful plant into every slide step. Together they give you a balanced, repeatable finish at the line.\n\nThe Upper, Lining, and Footbed\n\nThe soft manmade upper is lightweight and durable, with a fabric-lined interior and a padded collar that cushion your foot through a long session. The exceptionally light build helps keep your feet fresh from the first frame to the last.\n\nA molded, removable blown EVA footbed adds cushioning that lasts, and the non-marking rubber outsole with a defined heel keeps you stable and ready on the approach.\n\nEpic Men's Ares Specs\n\nSpecifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Shoe Is Right For\n\n✓New and recreational bowlers: A lightweight, easy first pair for anyone ready to stop renting\n\n✓Value seekers: Real performance basics, a consistent slide and a grippy push-off, without a premium price\n\n✓Right-handed bowlers: Built for a right-handed slide, with the slide sole on the left foot\n\n✓Bowlers who want a simple, consistent slide: A fixed slide sole that reads the same every time, nothing to adjust\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Right-handed build: The slide sole is on the left foot. Left-handed bowlers need a left-handed shoe or a universal shoe.\n\n·Fixed soles: The slide and push-off soles are fixed, not interchangeable, so the slide stays consistent with no swapping needed.\n\n·Standard width: Offered in standard width. If you need a wide fit, see our wide-width options.\n\n·Ready to bowl: Fits true to size and needs no break-in, lace up and go.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors may vary somewhat from the photos shown.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Getting the Most From the Epic Men's Ares\n\nFit and Sizing\n\nThe Ares fits true to size. Order your normal street size, or size down a half for a snugger, more consistent slide. Men's sizing runs 6 through 15 in standard width.\n\nCare\n\nWipe the slide sole clean and keep it off carpet and debris to protect the glide, and let the shoes air out between sessions.\n\nEarn points on every Epic purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program. Every pair you add builds toward your next reward.\n\nShop With Confidence at BowlersMart\n\nThe Epic Men's Ares Black Red Right Hand Bowling Shoes ships free with no minimum purchase and is backed by our 60-day return policy.
