Right Handed High-Performance Bowling Shoes with Interchangeable Slide
About the KR Strikeforce TPC Gladiator
The KR Strikeforce TPC Gladiator Black/Red is a limited edition run of the Gladiator from KR Strikeforce’s Perfect Collection. It is a high-performance shoe for league and tournament bowlers who want to control their slide and tune the shoe to the approach in front of them. It is a PBA registered product.
A flexible mesh and microfiber blend upper keeps the Gladiator light and supportive. The KR FreeLock dial lacing system locks in a secure, consistent fit, and New High Rebound molded insoles give lasting comfort and durability with a minimal break-in period.
How the KR Strikeforce TPC Gladiator Slides
The KR Strikeforce TPC Gladiator is a handed shoe with a true grip-to-glide split: one foot slides, one foot grips, the setup serious bowlers need.
How the Slide System Works
This is a handed performance shoe, set up for a right-handed bowler. Your slide foot is the one opposite your bowling hand, so a right-handed bowler slides on the left foot. Out of the box the left (slide) shoe carries a genuine Clarino #8 white microfiber slide pad and a #5 graduated rubber heel for a long, controlled glide.
The right (push-off) shoe is fixed with a T02 rubber sole and a #2 shark-tooth heel, so it grips the approach for a powerful, stable plant at the line.
Dialing In Your Slide
The Gladiator uses interchangeable parts on the slide foot, so you can change your slide to match the lane. The box includes a #10 grey felt slide pad for more glide, a #6 perforated white microfiber slide pad for more grip, and a #7 black leather heel. The rule is simple: a higher number slides more, a lower number grips more.
The TRI-SOLE outsole technology pairs the interchangeable slide pad and heel with a fixed push-off sole, so your slide stays under control for confident, repeatable shot-making.

Good to Know Before You Buy
BowlersMart Tips: Getting the Most From the KR Strikeforce TPC Gladiator
Dialing In Your Slide
Match the slide pad to the floor: a higher-number pad gives more glide on a sticky house pattern, a lower number grips more on a slick tournament shot. Higher number means more slide. Have pad and heel swaps done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.
Fit and Sizing
Order your normal size. The FreeLock dial lets you fine-tune the hold across the midfoot in seconds.
Care
Keep the slide pad clean and dry, and store the spare pads flat. Use the slide-foot shoe cover when you step off the approach so the pad stays consistent.
