Buying bowling shoes is not what I consider a cool activity. In fact, the shoes are in the back corner of the store, with the balls, not even kept with other sports shoes (even wrestling and volleyball shoes are in the shoe department!). The only item farther in the corner than the bowling things were tackle boxes, one of which my husband bought to store his D&D figures so that they are not strewn all over the apartment. Me with bowling shoes and him with his D&D tackle box. Yes, I see why they put those in the back . . .
