I now wear white and blue AND1 basketball shoes. There good for doing turns and galloping, but not as good as my old Phat Farm shoes for doing stuff like MAX300 heavy.

I've been using my Shaq's alla time. Problem is, they are not wide enough at the toes so they cause blistering on occasion on my right foot.

Really tempted to check out either some Kicks or those shoes on the DDR commercial where they have that kid practicing for a tourny.

I wear running shoes at the arcade, but SOCKS on the home version.

I'm not a skater person, but once i tried a friends vans on, and they worked all right. Theyre pretty heavy (depending on the shoe), but can make up for it. they make for good weights.

i like those new shoes adidas brought out. theyre like chucks(almost) with the same stuff i find in vans and all those shoes

the thing about the weight is if there is a song too dense or chaotic, you switch your shoes to a lighter pair and you have hella faster feet.

why you would have an extra pair, i dont know.

I play in my nice black slip-on walmart loafers.

You all can't handle the cheap loafers. Fear the loafers!

Like I said before, the only way to play is in flip flops!

I love playing barefoot, unless people are pains in the asses about it. Acro shoes are also awesome because they are like barefeet, and really lightweight. Otherwise, Asics track shoes. Great cause they are light and breathe REALLY well.

We gather here today to pay final respects to Al's DDR shoes. The Nike running shoes have seen three great years of DDR. They were the shoes I learned to play DDR with back when DDR first made it to Michigan, and they have played many a great song and many a great game. Alas, shortly after finally passing Lom heavy, the sole finally came all the way off the back of the left shoe.
Now, I am breaking in a new pair of Adidas running shoes. They're comfortable, but slightly longer, so it's taking a bit of getting used to. Ultimately, though, they will be great, especially considering that DDR was my ONE consideration for buying them (I usually wear sandals or other shoes for life in general).

The best shoes I've ever owned for DDR are a pair of Nike Waffle trainers. Picked em up for $20 at an outlet store. They are INCREDIBLY light, and the soles are a little softer than most shoes to cushion my steps a bit. (which is good, because I generally step fairly hard)

The only downside is they seem to be wearing down pretty quickly.

Used to always wear socks, but after hearing more and more that bare feet is better i switched to that.

All I own are a pair of broken-in combat boots. They make it interesting on Heavy songs, to say the least. At home, I play barefoot.
Nice bonus: after playing in the arcade in combat boots, I am a lot quicker at home barefoot. I guess maybe if I get fast enough, I'll go buy some sneakers, heh.

For a metal pad I just use my tennis shoes, and for a soft pad I wear socks.

Well yesterday I was sporting my sporty KangaROOS with the li'l pockets. Of course, they've been wrecked beyond comprehension, but they're still cool!
