where to buy bowling shoes?
We will be going to London & Paris in a few weeks. I have seen posts that mention bowling shoes are popular. My daughter has been wanting a pair. Does anyone have suggestions where to look for them? Besides bowling alleys!!

Ben,<BR>I've been looking for them too all day on the Internet. They aren't really bowling shoes, but leather sneaker-like shoes with stripes or a different color sole. <BR><BR>Ecco Soft Soul Oxford at www.nordstrom.com<BR><BR>Steve Madden at www.shoes.com

The shoes are called CAMPERS and made in Spain -- all the rage in Europe. Cost is $75 in Spain, $100 in France. There are knockoffs by other companies. There are Camper stores -- one in the Marais I believe. My college daughter bought a pair and swears by them for comfort and durablity. She backpacked in them for 3 weeks.

Have you ever read a more idiotic group of notes than this group of shallow, stupid, morons wanting to wear bowling shoes cause they are in. Not a one of them with an original thought in the last 12 years. I bet everyone of them has a tattoo too. Hey, I'm a poet....tattoo you...or was that a Rolling Stones album? Ha

You know, when I read threads like this and all the other about Paris and what they are wearing, and what they think of Americans and what they eat and if they smile and all the other free floating anxiety that surfaces on these boards about the Parisians it makes think that Parisians are the ultimate group of Beverly Hills High School snobs and you people are the wanna be's who worry about if their shit stinks. Do you have a clue how pitiful you are? I don't think so.

To you fashion know nothings-<BR>they are not actually bowling shoes.They are very comfortable walking shoes , made in the style of a bowling shoe.If you pulled your heads out of that small dark place you keep them, you would see there are a lot of people walking around wearing these shoes.<BR>So do not be so smug in your ignorance.

I know very well what they are, x. How could I not know -- they started appearing in fine shoe shop display windows here about two years ago. Then, about one year ago they were sort of still in the display but pushed to the far side or back. Now, today, I'm sure they have hoards of unsold pairs back in the storeroom. They always looked like a 70's revamp based on a Addidas leather trainer to me. Très chic. I could count on 2 hands the number of people I've seen wearing those around here (SF) since their inception. Look like an out-of-date dork if you like, just don't come crying to me when you hear people laughing behind your back.

Hello, I was in Paris in March and just returned from London. The bowling type shoes are all over in store windows. I also saw lots of young people wearing them. You will easily be able to find them for your daughter along with the bowling bag type purse if you wish.
