Little feet can't find shoes

Post by Pengu »

Shoes don't come in my size. It is very disappointing. The size 4 lavers I have, I've put an extra insole in them and laced them up tight and wear thick socks but they are still a little big and tend to slip slightly. This has resulted in me spraining my ankle 4 times in the past 2 months.

It really blows chunks. I wear a kids/men's 3 or a women's 5.

Anyone up to the challenge of finding me some shoes? I really don't care if they are lavers, g-units, climas, or the super ashe that was just mentioned. I just want a pair of shoes that fit. I like pink, but it's not requisite.

Reebok makes kid's G6 II's. I also found a pair of Big Kid's G6's on FootLocker's site.

That sounds like a problem of not taking enough time off. You shouldn't be able to sprain your ankle that many times in that short a period.

Though..with the master modder Mosher (What up, alliteration)..you might be able to swing these:

Quite a bit of leather though.

Now's your chance to really innovate something that works for you. Such is the beauty of footbag. Break outside the Laver mold.

i've got a huge problem at the moment finding a second pair of g-units! i really love my g-units, but they are almost dead. :cry:
in europe they don't run my size anymore.
.
.
the shoes i need would be in size 5 (usa), 36.5 (eur) or 23.5 cm.
do you know if i can still buy those shoes in the u.s./canada or somewhere else?
it would be horrible for me to switch back to lavers!!


sorry, for posting this into your post, peng, but i so knew what you were talking about.
there are also g-units I in children sizes!
just take a look at the reebok online store.

I know that children's and men's sizes correlate to the same size. Example is I wear a children's or men's 3.

Have you thought about buying women's shoes? I know that size 5 men's would be a size 7 women's. Those would definitely be available. Size 7 women's is the most common size.

Haha... that would be 90USD to get those shoes to me. Yeah... right.

They are, admittedly, very very cute. At least I know they did make them in my size...

The little kids g-units look like a good option too.

Couldn't you have them shipped to someone in the USA who will be attending the Rochester New Year's Footbag, Drum, and Dance Jam?

That can be arranged... If I buy a pair of shoes in time (depending on your choice), I can pretty much trade the shoes and some cash with a Peng bag. :P

Oh how sinister I feel. Calm yourself Waylon... :lol:

Check out the shoes I posted in this thread. They're a male version of what appears to be the same shoe. I found them at shoes.com here.

It took me three years, but I think I've found a decent shred shoe:
