Well it was the first sunday playing...It went good my foot was lighter but still maintained good grip.


That is the shoe




Adidas shoes are very light and high nice grip. I play in "Shell Toes" from time to time. Sean Rickman plays in the Shell Toes also! They feel great and they have nice grip aswell!

Yes, great shoe also! I have a couple pair of Nike "Air Stabs" and they are pretty nice to wear when playing too!! The old Nike "Presto" is GREAT! Try them, I think that they will work better than most things suggested.. ;)

Since we're talkin' about footwear, has anybody(besides me and a few other cats) been in a situation when you had to dress up for a service and you put on some on those shiny nylon socks and "church" shoes. Then when you got on the kit you found your foot slidin' everywhere in your shoes(because of the socks) and you couldnt keep your foot in one spot on the pedal and you just str8 bombed the service.

Dude i go for a nice pear of the bowling shoes with the rubber sole...(Not actual bowling shoes) but the kind that are like rockports..the kind you can wear to any event.  Also the New balance 996's wil also the Job...the key is to be comfortable....I really don't spend alot of time wearing suits and robes and crap...A nice shirt, some nice slacks and some comfortable shoes that...

I know one thing it doens't matter what kind of shoe you have if you don't have a decent seat IMO.....not them stacy adams or any really dressy type of shoe...LOL nah brah. i alsways make sure I'm prosentable but comfortable...

Well the old gospel drummer rule was that you should be able to play in whatever you have on...None of this Puma, socked foot, dance shoe garbage!!!

Tell that to Steve Smith (dance shoes), Thomas Lang (Puma's), Jojo Mayer (modified Chucks), Tony Royster (wrestling shoes).... 

Should I continue?

No, but, according to BBD's old gospel rule that would mean that those guys never paid their tithe. ;D

Yo, I remember when Steve Smith was cool had long hair and playing rock doing these wicked rock licks; Then he got mashed at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert by Marvin "Smitty" Smith, and next thing you know he shaved his head started acting all soft, wearing those gay looking flower shirts and wearing dancing shoes, and formed his jazz band.......So what has this taught you all!? Don't mess around with  Marvin "Smitty" Smith! He will kick your tail right into submission!!!
