Women’s Bowls Shoes: Unisex vs Women-Specific – Which Should You Choose?
Bowls footwear matters. The right shoes provide comfort, stability, and compliance with club rules. For women bowlers, the choice is between unisex shoes or women-specific designs. Let’s explore both options—and tackle the tricky issue of sizing.
Why Unisex Bowls Shoes Can Be a Great Choice
Wider Availability: More styles and sizes to choose from.
Classic Design: Neutral look that suits most players.
Budget-Friendly: Often priced lower than gender-specific models.
Club Approved: Flat-soled designs meet indoor and outdoor regulations.
If you value practicality and simplicity, unisex shoes are a solid option.
Why Women-Specific Shoes Are Worth Considering
Better Fit for Narrow Feet: Designed for slimmer profiles, reducing slippage.
Style Variety: Lighter designs and color options for a more personal touch.
Comfort Features: Softer linings and lighter materials for long sessions.
If comfort and style matter most, women-specific shoes are worth considering.
Important Sizing Tips for Women Bowlers
Bowls shoes aren’t made in half sizes. This can be tricky for women who usually wear a half size. Here’s a useful workaround:
Drakes Pride shoes tend to come up small.
If you normally wear UK 5.5, try a Drakes Pride size 6—it often feels like the half-size equivalent.
This simple adjustment can save you from discomfort and returns.
Summary: Choosing the Right Fit for Comfort and Performance
Unisex shoes = practical, widely available, and cost-effective. Women-specific shoes = tailored fit, style, and comfort.
Always check sizing quirks—especially with brands like Drakes Pride.

The hi-tech breathable material from which the shoe is manufactured make this an incredibly lightweight and comfortable bowling shoe.

NB - Drakes Pride shoes are tightly sized - we recommend buying one size larger than your normal shoe size.
