Not at all, they feel a bit different at first, but its all good.

An idea you might want to try, is putting a pair of trainers on the hoof, they take no assembly and last a hell of a lot longer than tyre sock, ive had a pair on for about 6months, and they are only now wearing.

nope they dont decrease the performance of the stilts. it actually stops the rubber foot from wearing away and is cheaper than having to keep replacing the stilts foot when they wear out.
