Shoes
I know that the topic of fencing shoes has been cover on mulitiple threads. But I was wondering what type of fencing shoe would be best? Adidas D'Arts II? Li- Ning? or the new asymmetrical ones? I dont want to spend more than $150 for shoes. Or should i just get an indoor court shoe instead of a fencing shoe.
Any tips, advice, or shoe success storys , etc are greatly
appreciated.

ummm
well first, the asymmetrics aren't new. in fact, they're not made anymore.

i'd suggest you go to a tournament with a vender (or ask around your salle) and try some on. then maybe go to a sports store and try on some other sports shoes. that way you have a nice comparison.

everyone has different tastes in what is comfortable on their feet. we can't tell you what you're going to feel best in.

Li Nings are good if you have wide feet; I like the high tops at any rate. I know someone with the low tops and she says that they have no support, but the high tops have plastic inserts on the side for that. And more importantly, they're cheap.
