does s8 synthetic slides on bottom of shoe really slide as well as leather?

These are an entry level shoe, they slide well for an entry shoe but not as well as a $$$100-150 shoe which usually are leather! So far mine are sliding pretty decent just can't replace the pad!

Yes, the slide is great. I've noticed that since wearing these badboys, my approach is more accurate... Not to mention the support and overall comfort of this shoe is phenom, AND I'm seeing a lot of novice/average bowlers rocking them at the lanes now. So this is a really good buy. Sorry for the delayed response btw

The slides on the bottom of these shoes slide perfectly. I have used them for 4 weeks now and they give me just enough slide without being too slippery. One of the guys I bowled with last week slid too much and fell in his expensive leather bottom shoes. For the money and being just a hack bolwer I think these shoes are really great. I believe you can use a soft wire bush to clean the bottoms if they get too dirty.

I have been using them for over four weeks and it does slide just as well in my leagues

It does slide down.. mine ripped 3 months after wearing them so I don't have them anymore. Try wiping your knees and scooching them back up?

No when I use it I usually have socks on or slippers. They are probably talking about the sandpaper like surface so your feet don't slip.

No. They are made of a thin dry-fit fabric. My son loves how cool they are, but they do not have any padding for sliding.

There is not a lining underside of leather " suede" against your hands. Hope this helps.

They don't slide at all. They are thick like I had hoped but I'm not sure if they'll fit the 2015. Is there a big difference between the 13 and the 15?

Hi Josie regarding your question. Yes.if the shoe has heel support it's ok no matter if it is high or pump.you can't use it w/sandals it slip backwards(no heel support) Orthaheel is wonderful

It is softer, but I must warn you the bottom seat cover will slide if you are putting them on leather seats.

They do not slide with certain socks--I bought a roll.of double stick tape heavy duty to keep on the bottom of each hill cup so they won't slip inside my shoes and boots-they occasionally need replaced-this style doesn't have a deep cup so it fits nicely even in dress type shoes

I would say yes. I personally had a few layers of shoe polish on different leathers. Liquid and paste. However, after I used the Tandy die, I still went over THAT with polish, and it came out absolutely like new. Beautiful and shiny! Hope that helps.

Not slick at all, but may slide on plastic surface (no real "tacky" bottom)

It definitely adds friction. The bumps also make it very easy to hold on to while walking and it helps it stay in your pocket.

The hard piece is pretty smooth Plastic, the top and bottom are like a smooth rubber. I wouldn't classify it as slipper but it's More slippery than grippy

The heel is rubber and the front slide area appears to be synthetic leather, very fiberous. The width is about normal/average.

No skid bottom does provide more friction than a smooth one. I wont say it is non slip.

No. Just slides like the ones that come with most desks. Very smooth though.
