Product Description
Get in and out of your shoes fast without sacrificing performance. The KR Strikeforce Pilot in Black brings an easy-on, easy-off slip-on design to the lanes, built for bowlers who want comfort and reliability for league night or casual games without any lace-tying hassle.
The breathable woven mesh upper keeps your feet cool through long sessions, while the hands-free heel system and Komfort-Fit construction let you step in and go — zero-tie elastic laces lock in a secure, snug fit with none of the fuss. Underneath, a CMEVA outsole with a co-molded rubber heel adds durability and shock absorption, and a higher stack height combined with more heel drop improves weight transfer so you get better contact with the forefoot through your approach.
On the slide side, the Pilot features a #8 white microfiber slide pad with FlexSlide Technology on both shoes, making this a true universal shoe that works for right- and left-handed bowlers alike — no need to worry about ordering the wrong handedness. Inside, an open cell foam footbed and silky smooth sockliner add cushioning and a better overall fit, and the shoe is backed by a 2-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Q: What width does this shoe come in?
A: This listing is for the Medium width. Sizes range from 6 to 15.
