five tens are supposedly good -- vanpaun Getting good is'nt about wanting it, needing it, paying for it; its about commiting to it. Sure, you may be able to n-spin, flip, drop; but will you stick with it, live for it, go through pain for it. If not, your not good. Your wasted effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vanpaun's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15704 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69538 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I've used converse, pumas, and light weight hikers (5.10s would be good) and they all worked fine for me. converse are the best for freestyle, but don't have enough padding/support for big stuff. -- Tjorning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tjorning's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16789 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69538 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

? skate shoes are the best! Maybe try BMX shoes. Ive ridden a bit with some 'Orchids' (http://www.orchidfootwear.com/shoes.html). I think they were a bit more narrow... They worked well. Though they are still quite wide. -- peleschramm http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=peleproductions unicycle for atheism. www.bedfordunicycles.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peleschramm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14077 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69538 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

At least for MUni, I've never owned a better shoe[-S-I-Z-E-=-2-]-.- -[/size]Ultra comfy, great fit, padded ankle protection, amazing grip. Since I started using this particular shoe, I have not had a single ankle inversion injury/sprain. Drop with confidence! They are quite simply the best! (Hmm, Five Ten should sponsor me too! That would make three!) I'm buying my third pair this week! They are long wearing as it is, but even longer when you switch from day to day.[-S-I-Z-E-=-2-]-[-S-I-Z-E-=-1-]-:-D- [/size][/size] +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 5 10.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/26416 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- MuniAddict 'My videos' (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=ttt8699) My sponsors: _www.uniproshop.com_ 'www.sixsixone.com' (http://sixsixone.com/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69538 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Someone should come in here and say that there is no one "best" shoe for "unicycling." There are too many different kinds of unicycling. I just got my Five Tens, at the recommendation of forum users. Excellent for road, and I'm sure they'll be great for MUni as well. I would hate them for doing tricks though. For that I'd want more "feel" through my feet, and the need for a stiff sole is basically not there. For that I still prefer turf shoes, or something with a studded bottom for tire grip. Meanwhile, the Five Tens have very grippy rubber. So grippy in fact, that I had a hard time repositioning my feet on my pinned pedals. I'm used to a textured shoe that's easier to adjust by twisting my foot around. Once I get used to these I'll be able to ride with more confidence than ever! There is also some tread on the soles, but not as much as the turf shoes I prefer, and the stiff soles would make them a poor choice if you plan to do lots of wheel walking or other non-pedaling tricks. BTW, hard-soled shoes are probably also very good for landing drops, so they're probably good for straight Trials as well, though less useful for Street or any trick-based forms of riding. -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- Man with broken collar bone say: "Have you checked your shoelaces lately?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69538 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I've sprained my ankle twice while wearing them. Ok let me clarify; By ankle protection, I'm referring to the fact that it protects against scraping/shredding your ankle *on* the edges of the cranks or whatever. I should also stress again, that since I've been using these shoes, the incidence of *any* type of ankle injury, including sprains, has gone down to....Zero! Luck? Coincidence? Improved technique. More confidence? Whatever the reason, they seem to work for me, and I love 'em! -- MuniAddict 'My videos' (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=ttt8699) My sponsors: _www.uniproshop.com_ 'www.sixsixone.com' (http://sixsixone.com/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69538 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
