Quantum Footbag Shoes

ShredStylez · Post by **ShredStylez** » 23 Jul 2006 13:01

Does anyone else think the toe looks like it will suck? It looks like the meterial comes to a point creating a rounded kind of convex toe ans the side view of the shoe makes it look like it slants forward too. Maybe im crazy but the laver toe looks alot better.

Lol, do you really think they would design a shoe specifically for footbag that was worse than the laver? That would be just stupid, no one would buy it

First off, a few people have already said theyer sticking with lavers, second i was only asking a question and a valid one at that, third, how long u been playing?

It's really hard to even guess at that from the pictures, but yes, it looks a little pointed at the toes to me now that you've mentioned it. Maybe it was designed to have a sweet spot a bit further back then lavers? I'd like to hear more about the toe box from someone that has them too.

the toe material is very thin and flexible. It may look like its slightly rounded but the material will flatten easy

"If you've never owned a footbag shoe, this baby will make your feet explode! If you're changing from an existing Footbag compatible model (i.e. Rod Laver, G6or Climacool) you'll find that transition time is practically zero"

I will buy these shoes no matter what, just to support the effort. I'm sure they play really good, I'm just wondering if the inside surface is as good as in the G6s, cuz for people without ankle crank it's a lifesaver. Is anyone in the position to compare the two?

I was just wondering if they are shipping to Canada yet?

I'm sorry... but what about your pouty negative posts about the quantums before. Now your bragging to people on the internet that you own them.

Jon, it´s fucking annoying how you always try to view things in the worst possible light.

I was being supportive and positive and you turned that into me being a dick. You won´t get anywhere in life with this attitude.

And you can´t possibly imagine that I found the initial news of the shoes pretty overwhelming? Of course I would have a strong reaction! But Ive learned alot more and I understand the situation better and now I am not 'pouty' or negative.

I support the Quantum completely, and it is hugely to the advantage of the future of footbag that you do the same. It doesn´t help ANYTHING for you to be mister sassy pants trying to point out inconsistensies in my emotions for no fucking reason.

The money made from these shoes is not going to make ANYONE rich, it is going straight back into the project to make them even better.

So who do you choose to be, a supportive and thoughtful player hoping to better the future of footbag or a stupid complainer?

Three cheers for Jan!!! He deserves SO many fucking props for all he has done and achieved.

I just posted what I thought others were thinking (and I know for a fact I wasnt the only one thinking it).

Also I have never sad anything bad about the quantums. I think they are awesome actually and plan to buy my own pair. I don't understand your comments on making money and how they relate to my post?

So who do you choose to be, a supportive and thoughtful player hoping to better the future of footbag or a stupid complainer?

I choose to be me and live in the real world where there is a middle ground beyond the black and white scenario you pretend exists.

If someone can answer Jake's question about whether sizing is a 1/2 or a full size down compared to lavers, that'd be great. It'll cost about 139 USD to get them over here so I'd like to make sure the size is right. 50 euros is pretty steep for shipping.

Sweet looking shoe though. I'll definitely get a pair. Props Jan!

50?? A couple days ago it was 8.50 Euros to ship to Canada, and only 10.50 to ship two pair, which sounds about right. 50 must be a mistake. Just wait til the end of the week like Jan said.
