How to size my Lavers?

Post by Guest_2 »

I have 8 1/2 Lavers. I have 8 1/2 feet. But my feet are really wide, and my clippers kind of suck. Should I go up 1/2 size, or just keep practicing?

I'm not sure, but I accidentally got my lavers about half a size to a size too big, and it's a lot harder to dex, but it's still do-able. I don't know if the bigger size will help for clippers though.

I've got those twill lavers, but I've also another 8 1/2 pair in twill. I currently shred in the twill, but will be modding the next pair to shred in canvas. Should I just mod these ones or buy a different pair?

mine were like, a halfsize too small. Then they were modded, and I started wearing thin socks, and they fit like a glove.

you should probably just keep practicing. If you make your clippers flatter(inside stalls and wraps), that makes a larger area to catch the bag on.

Also, i think that bigger shoes are more dangerous, because you are more likely to damage your ankle if you roll it.

I'm thinking about something... and there is a very high chance it has something to do with footbag.

I am a fan of smaller shoes. Smaller = lighter and easier to dex with

Bigger Lavers always look like they have a skinnier inside surface which means less useable stall surface.

My feet are really wide too, but I wear Lavers that are almost exactly the size of my foot, length wise that is. When I stand the sides of my feet bulge out the sides of my shoe and I can clipper fine.

Practice makes perfect and if you get good enough you can clipper in almost any shoe no matter what size.

Funny, I'm having my first pair right now. I tried some other Adidas tennis shoes that were also made in China and decided that 11½ is my size because they were comfortable and I had a little bit - not too much - space there.
When the shoes then finally came I was nervous about the fitting but now I wouldn't go for any other size.

Yes, I have big feet.
