Shoes

Can you still use the shoes you have even if the company is no longer around.  I have a pair of Dynoroos?

The USBC does not regulate which products can and cannot be used in sanctioned competition beyond the non-conforming balls list and the approved/non-approved cleaners.

You can use your Dynorooz or ABS shoes in any USBC competition.  If you are bowling PBA events, you must use the 3G shoes.

Dynorooz are still allowed for the PBA TQR but if you make it past the TQR, you will have to buy a new pair of shoes to complete in the round of 64.

I don't think that is completely true. People like Wes Malott do not use sponsored shoes, and just wear custom made all black shoes because they have bigger feet. I am also in the same boat as I have size 15's here and had to create my own custom shoe.

Wes Malott is on Etonic's staff. He better be wearing their shoes.

Some of them do use custom shoes, but there are no labels of any kind on them.  I believe Norm Duke uses some custom shoes.
