FLASHY FOOT WARE COMPANY
« on: September 11, 2003, 05:40:47 AM »
Someone on this site pointed out this company and the fact that they had BOWLING SHOE COVERS that were fancy and worth looking at. That was on August 31, 2003. I thought the PRICE was high ($18.85/delivered) and I suggested that in my posting. I was told they were worth it and that they were MADE BETTER then those you can get cheaper in the local PRO SHOP.

I had a tough time on the FFW site attempting to use PAYPAL. It MAY have been my own PROBLEM. I decided to send a CHECK. The site provided an address and I sent the check out that day. The following day I got an email suggesting I send the check to a DIFFERENT address. I immediately emailed the company and they got back to me (fairly fast) advising that the address used would be ok and as soon as the CHECK cleared they would fill the ORDER.

I checked my Bank through an online service and find the CHECK cleared today.

Interesting experience I thought I'd pass on. I will advise if, in my opinion, the EXTRA charge is worth it .. when the product is DELIVERED.

I went out to that cover site and those covers look really good.  About $6 more than the Ebonite but they compliment the Retro Flame bowling shirts real well. The main site was down but a Pro Shop in the UK had them to show.

As I have stated, the owner of Flashy FootWear is a PBA bowler. He is currently in the process of moving to a different state and is rearranging all of his company to be able to do business without him there.

This probably explains the issue with the different addresses.

And as I have stated, I have a bunch of these in stock. If anyone wants to buy, lemme know I'll get them for you.

FINAL: Actual DEALINGS with FLASHY FOOTWEAR has been very GOOD. Once the CHECK was cleared they sent the SHOE COVERS to me and I received them in a TIMELY MANNER.

FINDINGS: They charged $4.85 for SHIPPING/HANDLING .. Postage on the envelope was $1.29 .. that leaves $3.56 HANDLING .. 25% is a little too much for HANDLING.

WORKMANSHIP: I have a BRAND NEW pair of EBONITE DRY DOGS .. I compared the STITCHING/MATERIAL and in my judgement .. the FLASHY FOOTWEAR covers are MADE BETTER.

LOOKS: There is NO DOUBT that the FLASHY FOOTWEAR covers LOOK BETTER. I bought the AMERICAN FLAG pattern and I'M VERY HAPPY with the LOOK.

My OPINION: If you were in the local PRO SHOP and had an option to buy these covers as opposed to others for the SAME PRICE .. I would choose the FLASHY FOOTWEAR covers .. for the inflated PRICE .. I would go for the cheaper MODELS .. they are ONLY protectors ..

That's one man's opinion!
