Product Description
Dexter Men’s SST 8 Pro Black/Gunmetal brings the proven SST 8 platform to bowlers who want complete sole and heel customization in a clean, understated colorway. Built with Dexter’s patented SST 8 technology, this shoe features total interchangeable sole construction on both feet, so you can set up slide and traction for right‑ or left‑handed play and fine‑tune your motion on any approach.
