Tricking Shoes

[Martial Way]

I searched the forum for this but had no luck although I'm sure its been brought up before a bunch.

So which ones are good? I honestly can't trick with shoes on something about that barrier between me and the earth really throws me off. That weird? So yeah I would like to find something are perfect for it.

Light shoes, thin.

But aren't some better than others for this purpose? I mean I doubt a pair of cheapies from walmart are going to work just because they are thin dude...

I just went to the site for those five finger shoes. And it actually says " FiveFingers footwear deepens your connection to the earth and your surroundings." Wow must be fate...

Feiyues
Nike Frees
Chuck Taylors.


Or you could always try hiking boots.

They're pretty comfortable and are very light. I've tricked in them a few times but I'd still prefer tricking barefoot. They're awesome for climbing!

My webbed toes are too cool for those shoes

Brooks makes pretty good shoes. They're comfortable and really lightweight.

i like to trick in my nike 6.0s cause they fly.

and weight does really seem to bother me that much.

pumas are good shoes for tricking

If you must have shoes, I would recommend Feiyues, haven't tried the five fingers.

I have Chucks though (low version), and they actually hurt your ankles when you land from anything higher than a foot off the ground. =/

Yeah I've heard pumas are pretty good before but I was never sure which ones to try.

As for chucks, they just seem like they don't give you much stability. But I saw tony jaa use them in ong bak, so idk.

yeh i cant do shit in chucks i feel so uncomfortable in them

[Churoflip]

imo pumas are shit for tricking since they dont provide cushion

Hmm, so much conflicting info. I'm curious about the five finger shoes but idk.

[Bytm2vbsk]

shoes pretty much kill my aerial. As for other tricks, shoes dont really pose much of a problem haha

[Khaos]

man up and try it barefoot

[Rakamarasu]

I like heavyish skate type shoes when kicking :p They force me to extend more

[EmpRitz]

I can throw every trick I know in a pair of chuck taylors

[DarkXacreD]

if you're not gonna be tricking with shoes on anything but concrete and maybe carpet then just grab some sneakers or something lightweight and protective/shock absorbing.
