Bowls Australia – Approved Footwear
FOOTWEAR
Bowls Australia’s (BA) National Officiating Advisory Group (NOAG) are concerned with the increasingly relaxed standards for production and sale of footwear for use on Australian lawn bowling greens.
We do not seek to discourage any existing shoe manufacturer or supplier.
However, there are a small number of shoes currently on the market which will/do cause damage to bowling greens.
BA (and the NOAG), by virtue of the ‘Laws of the Sport of Bowls – Crystal Mark Third Edition’ are charged with the approval of footwear in relation to ‘colours and types of sole’.
For this reason, the list below is a definitive list of the shoes currently approved for use in Australia for the sport of lawn bowls.
This list is updated whenever new footwear is approved.
