Whats everyone runnin for shoes? And I mean on your feet.....
I wadded myself pretty good last week and broke my foot in the process. Up until now, I have been wearing skate shoes, Etnies, cuz I would have good feel of the controls.
I wrecked on the street, and my left shoe flew off and the cage or somethin broke my foot. Both my feet are jacked up, my left one is broken and in a cast, and the right one is black and blue.
What does everyone wear that provides a decent amount of protection, but you can still feel the controls and the pegs?
I know Alpinestar makes a "stunt shoe," does anyone wear those?

You always see the vids where people shoes go flyin. I think my shoes would have stayed on, but the bike crashed on top of me.

You can get some SiDi boots that are pretty flexible and high on the ankle. Try www.RideGear.com.
Might have some good deals on there....

High top adidas with the upper velcro strap. 3 crashes 25-70mph and they havent fallen off yet. The sides of the shoe are pretty padded and offer pretty good support. The bike hasn't ever landed on me, yet my feet have been spared.
I've also crashed on low top shoes. "Steve maddens" and my ankle was a tad messed up from the lack of support when I bit it. IMO I'll take the hi-tops any day.
