Fursuit bowling... I'm ready!

Last night I finished crafting a pair of "bowling shoes" for Scape. They are really more like covers or sandals but they should do the trick at any bowling alley. One is a straight felt bottom for sliding and the other is black foam with a red foam hoof print for traction. The 8 dollar thriftshop bolwing ball (the ol' 11lb. Brunswick Black Beauty) now has custom dremelled finger holes and the hard case I scored with it doesn't smell too much like a basement anymore lol -all that's left to do is dremel "Scape the Goat" in a nice scripty font into the solid rubber coverstock, buff till it glows and then it's off to the lanes for good times!

So did you check with the local bowling center to see if they're approved? Or are you going to go the "easier to apologize than get permission" route?

lol!
Haven't tested them out yet but i was thinking of asking first -I can always do the "wear real bowling shoes" if i have to. I went ahead crafting them with gusto when in reasearching bowling shoes i came across lots of shoe bottoms and bottom replacement patches that are made of felt ;)
These fit the bill for all that bowling shoes are made special for.
