What's on your feet while playing DDR?

I like to wear TEVA sandals, they are quite comfy for walking around and stuff, but I do NOT recommend for playing anything even remotely fast or jumpy. (been there, done that, dang near sprained an ankle!)
If there is even a remote chance I'll end up somewhere there's a DDR or ITG, I have to plan ahead and wear my ASICS running shoes

Nike Free Trainer's 7.0. The things on the bottom are starting to peel on my new pair that I got about a month ago so I'm pretty pissed with that. I'm probably going to move onto Pumas because I think Nike Frees are pretty much BS now.

i played without shoes last saturday (i was wearing sandals so i took them off) and i had to stop playing after like 6 hours because my toes were almost to the point where they were gonna start bleeding

so now i dont wanna play without shoes anymore

I play with new shoes at the arcade because I don't want to mutilate my feet there. At home I never play barefoot but I don't wear shoes either so I just play with my socks at home.

Socks do it for me. I wear K Swiss but wearing shoes in general just slows me down. I don't go to the arcade much and the machine sucked there so I didn't do to well.

I might get Nikes for DDR soon. Apparantly they're pretty good.

I play in Nike Free 5.0 v2

before that I played in skate shoes

Nike Frees are so much better for ITG and harder DDR songs, and my easier DDR scores weren't any worse after getting them.

Hey guys, I'm strongly considering getting a pair of Nike Free 5.0 shoes. But I have a few questions:

1) What are better, the trainer or running versions for DDR?

2) Would I still be able to use them to do actual running training without impacting on their performance in DDR? (since I am actually a cross country runner as well)

Btw, i'm only going to use them for DDR (and possibly running), since we don't have ITG where I live.

Thanks in advance

I only play in my socks. I tried a few times with my shoes (some no name cheap shoes that I don't care what happens too...not gonna destroy my good shoes playing DDR

) but I found that my feet were too heavy. I normally step very lightly on the pads, be it soft or metal, and so the more weight on my feet, the worse I play. Although I don't play barefoot because socks provide more slide, but not as much as sweating feet (which cause you to flip...literally). Also socks do help with the screws...the sock gets pushed back if its not a perfect fit so you can move your foot before it hits the screw.
