new guy

Post by ECUtptguy13 »

Hey everybody,

I'm the guy that big dirty foot(dave) is teaching footbag. If you haven't met him yet, you definately should. We recently went to the jam in Rochester. That's a long ass drive from north carolina. Anyway, I bought my first bag and I'm getting my shoes some time soon. I'll probably get some lavers but I did see a pair of nike shoes there. I've got weird shaped feet and nike's fit them well. Any little bits of advice or coments would be greatly apreciated. Thanks.

Well I finally got someone that I play with to POST ON MODIFIED! Haha what a good accomplishment. Now the question is... will he continue to come back? Anyways, everyone make Chris feel welcome. He's my fraternity brother, and one of my best friends and he's just starting out but he bought a pretty sweet bag when we went to GRASS (although it fell in Coffee, hahahahahahaha) and he's looking for the right kind of shoes. Any help would be awesome. Keep him motivated and it'll help motivate me too. So yeah, everyone welcome Chris to the board!

Go with lavers but get some nice insoles. If you're a big guy, you might look into getting some new balance 520s. No Nikes.

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but lavers are a bit slick when you first get them (the outer mesh). So you can cut that out or do what I did and just leave them outside when you don't use them so they get dirty. I hope that helps a bit. :wink:

hmm, I didn't really notice any "slickness" - I cut out the inner mesh but not the outer. I think if you work on your stalling technique you'll find you can stall things in any shoes.

I dont get any special shoe, I just use my regular shoes I bought last year, shoes dont make much of a difference to me.

If you get the LE model, then yeah! (Those are leather on the outside, which you should cut off).

an if you work on your technique with lavers, youll find you can stall almost anything that drops.

What's so weird about the shape of your feet? That might help us answer you better.

I recommend lavers, unless your feet are really wide. if they're too wide, get some CT 520s.
BRICK!
