Anyone wearing Etonics/looking at the new VHA etonics?
« on: July 17, 2007, 04:17:16 AM »
I have liked the look of the etonics since they came out, the sole & heel look to be realy wide & stable, the only reason i havent bought any as of yet is the lack of heel options, its just a single heel.

If i remember correctly, 1 of the ladies in my pro shop used to be on the etonic staff(i think storm quit using etonic for dexter again....or something strange).  She said the new etonics were going to have an adjustable heel, but its still only 1 heel.  Somethign along the lines of a rotating heel that gives u 4 different feels & slide amounts.

I hadnt heard anything about any new etonics coming out, so i figured she was rong.

Then last night i checked out www.bowling.com under the shoes section.  The new Etonic Stabilite Plus VHA's are coming soon.  They look pretty nice, nice & wide like the others.  The difference is the VHA(variable heel something).  If these come out with a heel variant, i will definitely be buying the copper ones.



Anyone else have etonics that they like?

Right now my choice is between these etonics & some tour ultras, but the narrowness of the ultras, plus the extra cost is pushing me towards the etonics.

Our Etonic sales rep was in last week and he said Jan/Feb at the earliest and might end up being next summer.

Got an email saying that they are being taken out of production and will no longer be released...
Also, David Ozio will be the Manager for the Etonic Bowling division, no longer Bobby Laster.
Looks like Etonic is making some changes now that they are partnered with Lotto.
I've been wearing Stabilite Dress' for the past 2 years and i highly recommend them, they look professional in tournament atire and they are very comfortable and very durable...

Yep got a pair of the Etonic Dress and they look good, and are very stable.

I also heard that Bobby was looking to pursure other interests and Ozio was taking over as brand manager.

i think etonic is very fortunate to have david ozio on their team. ozio was a key player when he was with dexter and was a major part of their team when they were designing shoes with removable heels and soles.

I was going to wait for the VHA's, but now I will get the Stabilities Plus. Currently I wear Dexter SST 7 and SST 5 Sport in size 12. Is the sizing of the Etonics comparable to these Dexters?
