(sorry its in food and drink, they really should add a seperate section for vegetarian and vegan)

Yes, Dexter bowling shoes were mentioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/leather.htm#Bowling

Not all of dexter shoes are synthetic though.

    Based on the product information they seem to be entirely synthetic and free of animal products.

    I did a search and they did appear on a vegetarian shoe list, so it seems that they are Vegan friendly.
