Dexter SST X ExJ Tackett Pro Model Black Men’s Bowling Shoes — Championship Performance Meets Next-Gen Design

EJ Tackett brings his victorious flair from the lanes to his latest Dexter SST X signature shoe, and it is the next-generation upgrade to the legendary SST 8, designed for bowlers seeking elite performance with a bold, futuristic aesthetic. Built on the reliable foundation of its predecessor—featuring the same midsole height, high-rebound cushioning, and patented interchangeable sole and heel system—the SST X pushes the boundaries of innovation with advanced materials and a sleek, modern design.

Its water-resistant PU nubuck upper, enhanced with a TPU film overlay, combines durability with style, giving the shoe a streamlined, fast look and feel. A slightly stiffer outer shell improves stability throughout your approach, while the BOA Fit System ensures a secure, micro-adjustable fit for all-day precision and comfort. Available in a timeless black finish, the SST X not only performs at the highest level but also makes a statement on the lanes.

⚙️ BOA Fit System — Precision Fit at the Turn of a Dial

The BOA Fit System replaces traditional laces with a micro-adjustable dial that allows you to fine-tune your fit with surgical precision. A simple turn of the dial tightens or loosens the shoe evenly across the entire upper, eliminating pressure points and ensuring consistent support from the first game through the final frame of a tournament block.

This is a game-changer for competitive bowlers who need their shoes to perform consistently across long sessions. Traditional laces loosen gradually during play, requiring constant retying and adjustment. The BOA system maintains consistent tension throughout your entire bowling session, and micro-adjustments can be made in seconds between games without ever taking the shoe off.

The dial system also creates a more uniform pressure distribution across the top of your foot compared to laces, which can create localized pressure points at each eyelet. This means better comfort during marathon practice sessions and multi-day tournaments.

🏗️ Advanced Materials — Water-Resistant Durability Meets Performance

The SST X features a water-resistant PU nubuck upper that protects against lane conditioner, spills, and moisture while maintaining the premium look and feel of traditional nubuck leather. The TPU film overlay adds structural reinforcement in high-stress areas, creating a slightly stiffer outer shell that improves lateral stability during your approach.

This stiffer construction helps prevent your foot from rolling or shifting inside the shoe during weight transfer, which is critical for maintaining consistent slide and balance at the foul line. The streamlined design reduces bulk while maintaining support, giving the shoe a fast, modern aesthetic that matches its performance capabilities.

👟 Patented SST Interchangeable System — Ultimate Versatility

Dexter’s patented SST interchangeable sole and heel system has been the gold standard in bowling shoe technology for years, and the SST X continues this tradition. The system allows you to swap slide soles and heels to match lane conditions, approach surfaces, and your personal sliding preferences.

Each shoe comes equipped with interchangeable components that can be changed in seconds without tools. Sticky approaches? Install a more slippery slide sole. Slick approaches causing too much slide? Switch to a grippier option. The SST X gives you the ability to adapt to any bowling center’s conditions rather than forcing you to adjust your approach to compensate for mismatched equipment.

The system works for both right-handed and left-handed bowlers, with each shoe capable of being configured for either hand. This makes the SST X a truly universal performance shoe.

💡 BowlersMart Tips: Maximizing Your SST X Performance

The BOA system requires a brief break-in period to allow the upper material to conform to your foot shape. Don’t overtighten the dial initially—start with moderate tension and adjust as needed. You’ll find the sweet spot where the shoe feels secure without creating pressure points.

The water-resistant upper is easy to maintain. Wipe down the shoes after each use with a damp cloth to remove lane conditioner, dirt, and oils. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh cleaners that can damage the PU nubuck finish.

Take advantage of the interchangeable sole system by investing in a variety of slide soles and heels. Keep a selection in your bowling bag so you can adapt to different approaches. Most competitive bowlers carry at least 3-4 different slide soles ranging from very slippery to moderate grip, plus 2-3 heel options.

The SST X runs true to size for most bowlers, but sizing can vary slightly depending on foot shape. If you’re between sizes or have wider feet, consider ordering a half-size up. The BOA system provides excellent adjustability, so you can dial in the perfect fit even if the shoe is slightly roomier than traditional lace-up models.

Check the BOA dial and cables periodically for wear. The system is incredibly durable, but after hundreds of games, cables can fray or the dial mechanism can accumulate dirt. Dexter offers replacement BOA components if needed, and most pro shops can install them.
