i did try my snowboard boots with my pro jump bindings but found the boots were leaning so far forward i couldnt get my leg in the knee bar

Huh... I guessed that would happen with ski boots. I never noticed Snowboard boots were sloping. Blades anyone?

haha, nice one jason

i thought at first you must have wedged your bocks in the hole in the ceiling that looks like an entrance to a loft... but i then noticed the harness after it was mentioned on the comments

aidanh1 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 29, 2009, 11:49:32 PM »

You have to click on them to get them full size but it's worth it to see the strain I'm under

I did enjoy doing that one must think of something else to do soon

One thing I don't advise is Converse all stars...

I Tried it in my converse not comfy and my feet slipped out lmao

Spud · « **Reply #35 on:** February 13, 2009, 12:30:24 AM »

Converse + bocks= epic fail. I did it, too small and not well padded, if you could get them tight they would hurt. Epic fail

skate shoes/chunky trainers FTW

Stewart · « **Reply #36 on:** February 13, 2009, 12:33:30 AM »

I just wear my usual comfy trainers.

It doesn't help that my toes hand over the edge of the foot plate anyway because of my big feet.

Spud · « **Reply #37 on:** February 13, 2009, 12:45:32 AM »

Thats not a bad thing and can be helpful when trying to get up unaided. My feet dont hang over the edge

Jason · « **Reply #38 on:** February 13, 2009, 09:39:28 PM »

You have my sympathy Stewart I have size 13 feet and most of my toes hang over the end

Real pain is when you get to close to a 2 ft concrete step and drag your toes up the side of it bending them down (don't do much for your jump either

)

Kazbahn · « **Reply #39 on:** February 13, 2009, 10:48:15 PM »

My feet hang over the edge of the plate even though i'm only size 9/10

Sorry to bring up an old thread but found it to be more relevent to post here than start a new one, you where talking about converse been a bad idea and yes i totally agree, but ive found the converse trainers to be pretty good, i cant find a picture of them on any website to show you :S.
They have a big thick tounge and are pretty padded but are quite big, even tho i feel secure i want some nicer looking trainers that are smaller and lighter because at the moment it feels like ive got a brick on my foot.

edit; found this pic of me >> http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rOxJ-Rvzrmc/SpmROjzbJhI/AAAAAAAAAv8/6ypTRhT-lCM/s1600-h/Tom+Powerbocking+stilts+sm.jpg

tom, everyone much prefers zombie threads reappearing rathers than 50 asking the same thing i think.
on topic though they look like some pretty fresh classic style hightops, i loved bocking in skate shoes but they tend to fold under bindings so i now prefer something a bit thinner, currently using a shockingly old worn out pair of k swiss, but they sooooooo comfy

K-rock · « **Reply #42 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:24:17 PM »

haha yeah its skate shoes or big padded trainers FTW

haha well i was hoping to get that response, i brought up an old thread once before on PP and got verbally attacked for bringing it back up...

I know what you mean about it folding under the bindings tho, i have some other trainers but the tounge isnt big enough and the back of the shoe is too thin and my heel slides up and down.

That has to be one of the most annoying things, i get it all the time if i wear my skate shoes. Rubs the skin raw

TomH999 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:45:14 PM »

yea it irritating and i want to be able to wear thinner trainers but it just rubbes at the back of my ancles and and the front coz of the bindings.

Spud · « **Reply #46 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:35:30 PM »

Had same problem, and I know it isn't cool but do your shoes up as tight as possible.

aidanh1 · « **Reply #47 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:21:51 AM »

lol doin ur shoes upo isnt cool

dammit i fort i was hip XD

hehe yer i tried out my animal skater shoes and tbh thts the best shoe ever

Brendan (NeoNinja) · « **Reply #48 on:** September 01, 2009, 05:36:19 PM »

Sorry to post off topic but this is the first time I've seen K-rocks avatar
and I have to say it's EPIC!!! HAHA! ^_^ Poor guy!

I guess one of the best solutions is to just wear whatever shoes you find
most comfortable, then fill the gaps with a strip of pipe insulation foam.

Nero · « **Reply #49 on:** September 01, 2009, 06:24:41 PM »

or snow board bindings and pretty much any shoes
