We’re 3G Bowling Shoes and Soles Manufacturer

I’ve bowled since the early '70s, and now that I’m retired, I treat it like a second career. Between my seniors' league, tournaments, and practice sessions, I’m on the lanes almost every day. I’ve cycled through more brands than I can count—everything from traditional leather styles to modern mesh builds. But when I discovered the 3G Racer series, I knew I’d finally found the perfect fit. The first thing that stood out was how breathable the shoe felt. Out here in Arizona, even air-conditioned alleys get warm, and my old shoes always left my socks soaked by game three. The Racers keep my feet cool and dry, even during long back-to-back sets. The fit is snug but not tight, and the heel cup offers just the right amount of support. But where the Racers really shine is in performance. The slide sole system is incredibly intuitive—I use different soles for synthetic and wood lanes, and I can swap them out in under a minute without fumbling. The traction on my plant foot is perfect—firm without feeling rigid—which has helped me fine-tune my release timing. Since switching to 3G, my average has jumped from 186 to 202, and I’ve even taken home a few more league trophies. I’ve had my current pair for over a year, and they show almost no signs of wear. The stitching’s solid, the toe cap’s still firm, and the sole edges haven’t separated one bit. For someone who takes his gear seriously, 3G is a game-changer. I’ve recommended them to almost everyone in my league, and now we joke that our senior squad is turning into the “3G Army.” It’s the smartest investment I’ve made since retiring—and it keeps me competitive in a sport I love.
