Good shoes to use?

Hi everyone,

I am going to a shoe store on friday, and was wondering what shoes are good to use for footbagging. I need an easy to get shoe that is widely availible (Especially in canada) I know the good climacools are hard to find, same with lavers. What's another decent footbag shoe that is easy to get?

Thanks

Lavers aren't especially hard to come by. If you don't want to order from the net, I'm sure that one of the players in Montreal wouldn't mind doing the order for you if you paid them up front.

Lavers shouldn't be hard to get in canada. I've just bought a pair
of G-Unit's, but haven't played with them/modded them yet. Don't know
about the toe, but the clipper seems sweet.

Me too

I think we have to change the insole a bit, either put those new really small Spencos in or cut something from the original insoles. I think unmodified they will push against the insdes of the shoe and make your clipper surface uneven, wich is the last thing I want to have

And just from my very first impession, the toe box seems to really good. Maybe slightly smaller that the one on a same size Laver, but he it will just improve your stalls. I'm totally looking forward to modifie these baybs, maybe after the longboard session this weekend, Bjoern, Daryl?

The other post was off topic. Mark maybe you can hook up with the Montreal crew and do a Laver omnibus order together with them.

If can't find or don't want lavers. . .

Look at shoes. Find ones that have a flat inside and a flat toe. That's really al you need, but trust me, it's easier said than done. I spent a long time looking for a shoe other than lavers and never did find one that was good. I ended up ordering the lavers and loving them.

too add the 2 other important things that Tony forgot:

Make sure the shoe is LIGHT. If you don't want to mod anything,
I wouldn't recommend to get shoes with slippery surfaces like leather.
