Shoes

**AndrastVitesse** · 02-15-2005 12:38 AM

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.

I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age. ~Blackadder 02-15-2005 01:06 AM #2 noodle ಠ_ಠ Array Join Date Feb 2003 Posts 5,958 Blog Entries 25 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. 02-15-2005 01:52 AM #3 AndrastVitesse Senior Member Array Join Date Jan 2005 Location south of the (metro) tracks Posts 1,481 yeah, i got the asymetrical one mixed up with some other one still cant remeber which ones I want to be remembered when I'm dead.
