If money is not an issue you could go with the semi custom linds. Just be warned they will be pricey. Also can't be used in a PBA event.

If you can't find bowling shoes, get a pair of tennis shoes that will only be used at the lanes.  Buy a slide sock for the slide shoe.  If you have the means, that slide sole could be sewn in place to be permanent.

900 Global Break is my 'new guy' ball.


This is a pretty good idea.  By all means do what you can do find a pair of bowling shoes, but if you can't, Buggs' suggestion would work very well.  Couple guys in my league do this.

Etonic makes 16's and any pro shop can order them for you. I've carried ESL Classics in 16. Lind's makes up to size 20 and the same thing there or you can order direct from Lind's.

I checked on Buddies and the highest size they show is 15, but if you call them I'll bet they can order something in a 16.  --  JohnP
