What do you guys think of these pair for kicking? Just want to hear some opinions. Check out some of the other types on zappos while you're at it

Wow they look like rock climbing shoes (yes I read they were inspired by them), But eh they dont look all that bad, the toe is laced to low but maybe mod them (if it can be done), The grip would be awesome and how small and lightweight would be good, and it looks flat on both sides

try em out

Yuck, they look too hard for any kind of stall (lavers have huge soft mesh panels for stalling), they would hurt to jump in 'cause the soul is so thin, and they don't look like they have any good flat sides.

...but hey try 'em if you want, after all you could just use 'em as normal shoes when they don't work for hacking.

haha wally, Dood, Only thing you can do is try... I doubt anyone has used them for kicking considering the most popular used are, climacool's, nb ct300's, rod lavers,... So

Wow, travismontoya you got a point, after all how did people figure out how good the lavers were... they bought a pair and tried 'em out

Buy 'em Jfootbagger maybe the rubber grip that crawls up the side will be super sticky and good for stalls

EDIT: wait don't get 'em, I just remembered the main reason they won't be good for hacking, they have thin souls which sucks for jumping TRUST ME I know from experience
just take a look at the shoes I currently shred in

Arggg! just look how little soul, I can't waint 'till I get my Lavers

I don't think the shoes would be very good for several reasons.

1. the sole looks very thin, I have a feeling symp. moves and whirls would hurt your feet after a while.

2. You would have to make a huge clipper rail, or the bag is probably just going to roll right off.

3. Ther is a huge rubber toe thing, and even if the sidewalls are able to be modded, the toe area looks as if it will still be convex.

Those are my thoughts, I don't think they look very shreddable at all.

Hey man, I know someone who has these shoes. (a non shredder)
They definately wouldnt be good for footbag. If you do want to get pumas, get "Puma Franken Clydes". I used these shoes for ages.
They rule.
