Just wanted to say Hi, my names Ben,started playing about a month ago, always thought footbag was cool, but could never do anything with my old hacky sack I had since i was little.
was at my friends house and his son was kicking a crochet bag around, he didn't really know it was a real sport so I told him how cool it was back in the day, and went and looked on youtube to see if there was any videos to show him of freestyle... after watching a few videos (anz trikz, thankyou Anssi Sundberg!) decided we should get out and learn some stuff, bought some better footbags, and been spending hours in the garden each weekend, we're hopelessly crap at the moment, but learning,and I just got my Lavers today, so should make things easier.
oh yeah one question,my friends son is HUGE, 2 meters, and his feet are size 15 (uk size) and don't seem to be able to get rod lavers in that size, or quantums, does anyone know any other shoes he could get ?

Ben.

Cool dude! Welcome to modified!

Try looking for the 1st model of the low-top Reebok G-Unit G6.

They used to sell 15s in lavers, but I don't see any now. Maybe check it in a couple weeks and they might have 15s in stock.

Also, don't forget that they're going to be used as an athletic shoe, and should be somewhat snug. I might suggest to him to try on a 14 laver, just to see if they fit. I used to wear 14 lavers, but I never realized how big they really were on me until I couldn't have a shred session without feeling like someone shot me in the leg 30 times. Just something to think about.

edit: after looking at that site more closely, the blue/white lavers don't have 15s, but the green/white ones do.
