The advantage? It's the equivalent of skinning a Laver instead of taking out the canvas. The material you end up stalling on is much more grippy.

This is at least my 15th pair... I've tried at least 5 kinds of shoes/sandles...

Image

Will be breaking in a new pair in less than a month, judging by the thinness of my sole.

Peace.

These buckets work for me... (no toe box necessary)

P.S. I've been to a foot specialist and mentioned to him that a lot of people I knew could barely get their toes up past 30 degrees or so. I thought that I was genetically gifted or something... But the doctor said: "Anyone can do it, most people just don't have that much flexibility" (or something to that extent).

Peace.

Yea, I call it the "Last second ledge" or "Ledge" for short. I get shoes about 1/2 size too small, bucause otherwise they really stick out. The footbag gets a little too stuck there sometimes. But you can really freak out some newbs with it when used discretely ;).

Also, I had to make a comment about your signature line...

I ran up to T Mosher and I was all "you play footbag!!!!" and with huge bulging eyes and smile he replies "yes!!"

he was just a stranger buying short shorts in my store and shredding in front of the mirrors.

Now we stitch and shred together all happily ever after like!
every footbaggers dream =)
Now I understand why.

Yeah they really suck, although they aren't that hard to stall with
(maybe I'm just good at stalling with them). My biggest problem with these shoes is that they have like no inside surface,
and no sole so it hurts to land.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.
