shoes? maybe get in-soles if you have to?

i've never been a fan of playing barefoot myself, if that what you're talking about.

small world though since we're both in melb, fl.

btw, where is the DDR USA machine locally that you talked about in the other thread- I've never seen one around here.

Try it with socks on, but you'll slide around too easily. Or just keep with it and your feet will eventually become callused. Other than friction, I have no idea what's causing it. If it persists for too long, you might want to ask your doctor next time you see him.

And by the way, I play barefoot at home and at the arcade, and the only pain I have experienced thus far is soreness on the ball of my foot after playing about 10 games on the arcade. And all of those songs were on heavy too. So I'm a trustworthy barefooter

And i play on heavy too (I BEAT MAX 300 HEAVY BUT CAME CLOSE TO BEATING MAXX UNLIMITED) but this pad hurts is it about time to invest in a cobalt flux

I had an ignition pad which was a piece of crap and it was still under warranty but RO didn't respond to my e mails!

Well, I go all the time on the arcade machines and go barefoot.. i don't step hard either, but I get really bad blisters on the bottoms of my feet (eww

gross) but I am used to it and just tough it out so I have no advice for you because I only know hyself to tough it out for the love of dancing...
