Good Shoes for bocking?
« on: September 10, 2011, 12:10:53 PM »
What type or kind of shoes do you guys use when your walking/jumping/bocking on your flyjumper/projumper?

i got a pair of shoes but when i walk and jump on them i everytime get hurt alot on my on my right heel.

It is so annoying becuse i got alot of power and happines to walk on my stilts but the heel it hurt on makes me to stop walk, im sad about it  :Cnah:

anyone who got any kind of shoes they would recommend when you are bocking? maybe you got link to a co.uk store on the internet?

i got the shoe size 46  :Cchatterbox:

i think there is some plastic inside the shoe heel that make me hurt on the heel.

(excuse for my bad english once again , and for beeing abit to drunk now"  :Cbiggrin:

Hello,
I use trekking shoes (those that recommended Jason or similar), compared to sneakers are more comfortable and I can tighten the straps more.

I use high safety shoes ...
the newer models have fibre reinforced tips and footplates(instead of metal), which makes them no heavier than any other shoe.
the height gives me good ankle support and I don't want to break /bruise my toes when I fall forward ...so the toe reinforcement comes in handy.

and yes , my toes stick out a bit ....(size 10.5) :Crolleyes:
