Here we have a brand new colourway for our iconic “Strike” Bowling Shoes. The aqua blue is such a cool and retro shade, just perfect for Spring/Summer
When we very first started Mod Shoes we were often asked for “Chisel Toe” bowling shoes, like the one from the 80’s, the type that “Shelleys” used to sell. It has took a long time to find a good supplier, and also get as close as possible to the shape. This style of design is only available from Mod Shoes
Notice that the front is much slimmer and less rounded than other bowling shoes on the market. And copied from a pair from the 80’s.
Also we wanted to do a good bowling shoe, so that the leather upper is super soft, and supple. Literally no wearing in ! The sole has an extra grip piece added at the front. So if you are wearing these out and about, you aren’t going to slip over.
Sizing
We have had some customer feedback suggesting that these come up big. Please note that the leather is super soft, so if in between sizes, go down, not up. I am wide-ish 8.5 in my right foot, and an 8 was very good for me.
Upper: Leather
Sole : Man Made
Sizes 40(6) – 46(12)
Mens Sizing
We use the following size conversions. Please be aware that different designs are designed to be bigger than others. We try our best on the product page to mention sizing.
Men’s Sizes
UK | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
Euro | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 |
US | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
Please Note that are shoes are made mainly in Spain & Portugal and Euro to UK Conversion means that the shoes normally come up a little big. The reason is that a 43, is more like 9 and 1/4.

Another fab bowling shoe to add to the Strike range. The aqua blue colour looks great against the white on the shoe and to say these are comfy is an understatement, my go to shoe for gigging. Due to the softness and thinner feel to the shoe I ordered one size down than usual and the fit is perfect without the need to really pull the laces in. No wearing in needed with these, five stars!!

These are absolutely lush. I find with shoes I struggle a bit with sizes and some of them tend to feel tight on me. I went with my usual size 9 on these and oh my god these are so comfortable, like putting on a pair of comfy slippers. This is my first purchase from Modshoes and I will definitely be buying more!

A great addition to the Strike range. Comfy from the off and the colours on the shoe are amazing. Super fast delivery as per usual from modshoes and great customer service. I’m an 11.5 and usually go to a 12 but with these I sized down to an 11 and the fit was spot on.
