履く（はく） is the verb used for things you put on your lower body or feet, such as:

• shoes
• socks
• pants
• skirts

So ボウリングシューズを履く means to put on / wear bowling shoes.

This is different from other put on / wear verbs in Japanese, such as:

• 着る（きる） for shirts, coats, dresses, etc.
• かぶる for hats
• かける for glasses

Japanese uses different verbs depending on the type of item.

を marks the direct object of the verb.

In ボウリングシューズを履く, the thing being put on is ボウリングシューズ, so it takes を.

You can think of it as showing what you wear/put on:

• 靴を履く = wear shoes
• ズボンを履く = wear pants

So here:

• ボウリングシューズ = bowling shoes
• を = object marker
• 履く = to put on / wear

The particle を is usually pronounced お in modern Japanese.

So:

• written: ボウリングシューズを履く
• pronounced: ボウリングシューズ お はく

Even though it is written with the character を, when it is used as a particle, learners should usually pronounce it as お.

Japanese often omits the subject when it is clear from context.

So ボウリングシューズを履く could mean:

• I put on bowling shoes
• to put on bowling shoes
• (someone) wears bowling shoes

The exact subject depends on the situation.

This is very normal in Japanese. A short sentence like this often appears in vocabulary lists, instructions, captions, or example sentences, where the subject is understood.

Katakana is commonly used for:

• loanwords from other languages
• some onomatopoeia
• emphasis
• certain names and technical terms

ボウリング comes from English bowling, and シューズ comes from English shoes, so katakana is the natural choice.

This is a very common pattern in Japanese:

• テニス = tennis
• ゴルフ = golf
• シューズ = shoes

No. Japanese is normally written without spaces.

So the standard writing would be:

ボウリングシューズを履く。

Spaces are often added only for learners, textbooks, or formatting purposes to make the sentence easier to read.

It can mean either, depending on context.

• put on focuses on the action of dressing
• wear focuses on the state of having it on

Japanese does not always separate those ideas as clearly as English does.

So ボウリングシューズを履く might be translated as:

• put on bowling shoes
• wear bowling shoes

Context tells you which sounds more natural in English.

Yes. 履く is used for several lower-body items, including:

• 靴を履く = wear shoes
• 靴下を履く = wear socks
• ズボンを履く = wear pants
• スカートを履く = wear a skirt

So the important idea is not shoes specifically, but things worn on the feet or lower half of the body.

Japanese nouns usually do not change form for singular vs. plural.

So ボウリングシューズ can mean:

• a bowling shoe
• bowling shoes

In real-world meaning, shoes are naturally understood as a pair here, so English usually translates it as bowling shoes.

Japanese leaves that number information to context unless it really needs to be stated.

The sentence uses the plain dictionary form 履く.

A more polite version is:

ボウリングシューズを履きます。

This is the -ます form, which is common in everyday polite speech.

So:

• 履く = plain
• 履きます = polite

Both mean the same basic thing; the difference is level of formality.

Yes, you could say that, and it would mean something like wear bowling shoes or put on bowling shoes.

However, ボウリングシューズ sounds more like the standard fixed term, because it is a common loanword expression.

So:

• ボウリングシューズを履く = very natural, common
• ボウリングの靴を履く = understandable, but less like the usual set phrase

In many cases, Japanese prefers the katakana compound when that wording is already established.
