Does anyone have a solution for super slippery
approaches? (sometimes it seems that only glue will do)

I use shoes with adjustable soles like Linds or Dexters or Wilsons and yes I
have all. When the approaches are as slick as you say I use my sneakers.

As long as the approaches are not defaced by the shoes (rubbing off on the
approach.. I think it's Rule 12), sneakers are okay to wear when bowling.

Lisa is correct. Here's the text of the rule:
Approaches Must Not Be Defaced
Rule 12. The application of any foreign substance on any part of the
approach that detracts
from the possibility of other players having normal conditions is
prohibited. This includes, but is
not limited to, such substances as talcum powder, pumice and resin on shoes;
also ** soft rubber
soles or heels that rub off on the approach. ** (emphasis mine)

Show me one sneaker that doesn't leave some residue behind on the approach.
Why does ABC now insist on having such unclear rules? It used to be no sneakers
period.

Wish you could refresh my memory, and give me a year that this was in the
rules.

You go first! Show me one sneaker that does leave residue on the approach. Bet
it was made in China just like most bowling shoes.

A lot of the problem is the HARDNESS of the rubber material used in
"sneaker" soles. I think the rule is geared more towards shoes with "soft
gum" or similar soles, which do leave a visible "trail" of sorts, not to
mention the "treaded" soles that Gather Things in their grooves (seeds,
pebbles, dirt, etc.) that can be "deposited elsewhere".

"Unclear" is a relative term, depending on your personal reference point of
what constitutes "clear".
You also have to remember that the "sneakers" of today are a far cry from
the "sneakers" of when you (and I) were a kid. Also, the "rubber" materials
used Way Back When were nothing like the "rubber" materials used today.
Therefore, it's best to buy Bowling Shoes that are EXPLICITLY LABELED as
"Bowling Shoes", right? :)

Bowling shoes do the same thing, right? Otherwise, where did my sole go?

I disagree!
I have never had a sole on my Lind's fail.
Have had some Dexter's come apart.

Excuse me Tony but I did not write that and I also do not think wearing
sneakers is a violation of ABC Rules.
I am lewd!
I am crude!
I am socially unacceptable!

Been There, Take a wire brush to your sliding sole at 90 degrees to the
slide angle (across the slide pattern) and slow down.

Use rubbing alcohol and clean your slide foot heel. The cleaner rubber
will grab more. Be careful and test slide a time or two first
afterwards.
