Men’s Athletic Bowling Shoes for Right or Left-Handed Bowlers
About the KR Strikeforce Pilot
The KR Strikeforce Pilot is a lightweight athletic bowling shoe built for comfort and an easy, consistent slide. It sits in the athletic tier of the KR line, an easy pick for league nights or casual open play when you want sneaker-like comfort with a true bowling slide.
Built for both right and left-handed bowlers, it pairs woven mesh upper for extra comfort and breathability through long sessions with cushioned, all-day comfort, so it feels broken in from the first frame.
How the KR Strikeforce Pilot Slides
Because it carries a slide pad on both shoes, there is no wrong foot. Either foot can lead your slide, which makes it an easy, forgiving choice for newer bowlers, two-handers, and anyone who wants one shoe that simply works.
The Slide Pads and FlexSlide
Both shoes ship with a #8 white microfiber slide pad backed by FlexSlide Technology. The #8 pad is a true slide setup that glides clean and consistent right out of the box on the lighter conditioning most house lanes carry, with no break-in needed.
Having the same slide pad on both feet is what makes it universal. A right-handed bowler slides on the left foot and a left-handed bowler slides on the right, and because both shoes are set up to slide, it fits either bowler with no hand to choose at checkout.
The Upper, Cushioning, and Outsole
A woven mesh upper keeps the Pilot light and breathable, while the zero-tie elastic laces and hands-free heel system make it easy to step in and out and still get a secure, comfortable fit.
A higher stack height with a silky-smooth sock liner adds cushioning and better weight transfer, and the CMEVA and rubber outsole keeps the shoe light underfoot with the durability to hold up to regular play.

BowlersMart Tips: Getting the Most From the KR Strikeforce Pilot
Dialing In Your Slide
The #8 pads slide clean on most house lanes right away. If a freshly conditioned floor feels sticky, a few practice slides will smooth them in, and a slick floor just rewards a little less drive into the line.
Fit and Sizing
Order your normal athletic-shoe size. If you like a locked-in slide, size down a half.
Care
Keep the slide pads clean and dry. Wipe the soles and avoid walking through water or debris off the approach. A shoe cover over your slide foot protects the pad when you step away from the lanes.
