The other day i saw some kid in my school wearing these, and naturally i thought to myself that they would be good for footbag...has anyone ever tried these:?:
they seem very similar to lavers and i think you can mod the instep also.

most of their shoes other than these ones seem good for footbag also...anyone tried any of these?

They do look like they might work well, though I would be concerned with the slippage from the material. It doesn't look like it would hold the bag as well as mesh would, but that's just based on how the texture appears. The inside surface seems ok, but the toes don't have any walls which, although not a big deal for most people, would still cause problems. Even a little bit of a wall would be helpful, but none at all might be a pain in the neck.

Again, I haven't tried them though. Just my thoughts...
They're swanky though.

Definitely look sweet, but I wonder how bouncy that toe is. It looks like a big trampoline to me.

I think you could have some decent walls with some modification, I don't think that is much of a concern. I would be really worried about the fabric though. If it has something nice under that horrible exterior that you could reveal with some exacto knife magic... then you'd be cookin' with oil.

Like hnc said, I think it pretty much depends on what material is left after you cut off the outside leather.
