Keep in mind that as a bowler I have seen many non bowlers fall down and hurt themselves because for most its hard to stay upright in bowling shoes. If you slip and fall you may risk having the band of your underwear showing or even worse, hurting yourself so bad you need to go to the hospital. Not saying bowling is a dangerous sport, just saying it has happened and I've seen in all with as much time as I've spent in and around bowling alleys.
