Le question sportif

Hello, lately I've been looking for new shoes to try footbagging in. Mostly to no avail have I searched countless shoe-stores and sporting good centers. However, there is one brand I have not been able to come across: Le Coq Sportif. I have been looking for LCS Smash Cups, but, I cannot find any on-line, ( found a pair on ebay, but they weren't my size ). However, I found this link here:

They look like they'd be rather easy to do some modding to them to make good shoes. Though i'm wondering, has anyone ever dealt with these shoes, and does anyone know where I can get some Smash-cups in size 11+?

These shoes will not work.

1) With that sole profile, there's a chance to sprain your ankle.
2) There's no pocket on the inside.
3) Toe is not that great.

These shoes have no advantages over lavers.

What makes you wanna switch to another shoe?

How long have you been using lavers (whatever you're using) for?

i think he's just looking to experiment, to see if there are any other good shoes for footbag other than the standard lavers, units, quantums *Sp?*, or climas. if you do get them, be sure to do a review on them.

Nothing makes me want to switch from lavers. I have just been looking for other shoes that would be good for footbagging. I love my lavers and G6's ( camo mesh

).

I would just like to find other shoes that would be as good as lavers,g6's,quantums, ect. Just a little 'goal' of mine if you would.

As for your last query, I have been using lavers for 2 years now. ( 1 year of circle kicking...then I stopped playing for about 3/4 a year, and I'm just now getting back into footbagging, freestyle in general).

a friend of mine got this shoe. he said it's no good. I looked at them. they looked like they were no good.

looking for a fresh take on your game with a change in your footwear? try barefoot.

I'm not sure where I heard this, but the soles on these shoes are ment only for style and not sports. If anything you should get into contact with Chris Blach(sp)

I play barefoot all the time, usually out of laziness to put shoes on to play XD. But none-the-less...I'd still like to find some other shoes good in footbagging.

Too much experimentation on different shoes to fit your shred style can be a bad thing. Right, Kyle...?

Just restrict yourself to one or two pairs of shoes. A third only if it is truly necessary. THAT'S ALL. Lavers and G-units are perfect, since they both have a similar design. Any more and you're just going to complicate your form, since each shoe have specific design structures that fit that person's needs in footbag. Just know that once you get comfortable with one type of shoe, your abilities in another can drastically change. So, stick with one and just go with that throughout your footbagging career!

I think you all are getting my intentions wrong

. I have in no shape way or form ever been unsatisfied with my lavers/g-units. Nor do I have any wish to replace these shoes.

I plan to stick with my lavers til the day I die, I am merely interested in finding other shoes suitable for footbagging. I'm just interested in finding things out, ya' know? Most people use one of roughly 6-7 shoes that are great for footbagging, I only want to find more shoes that would work.

The tongue's are really thick. Though I guess you'd be able to remove the padding. They are probably pretty heavy though.
