Basketball shoes for fencing I've recently started fencing in basketball shoes, and I have to say, these are some of the most comfortable shoes for fencing I've ever worn. They have good support, traction, are not too heavy, and are nice and cushiony so that you dont hurt your feet. Currently I wear a pair of $30 shaqs from payless, and despite looking large, they're not bad. Atleast not for epee. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben

I haven't tried basketball shoes, but I've heard good things about volleyball shoes. I also looked at a pair of puma running shoes last time I bought sneakers, but because of the expense of college I fence in the same sneakers I wear every day. If I had the money, though, I would definately have gone for the pumas; they were the lightest shoes I have ever seen and they still got good traction. "If I were ever to challenge you to a duel, your best bet would be battle axes in a very dark basement." Misquoted from The Prisoner

But those things which belong neither to God nor to Caeser, feeleth free to writeth them off, for yea, they are deductable.

I use a pair of Hi-Tech squash shoes which do the job quite nicely.... Identical to their fencing shoes except for having 'fencing' on the heel instead of 'squash'.

I don't like basketball shoes. Too bulky. but whatever fits your feet...... If you give a man a fire, he is warm for the night.
If you set a man on fire, he is warm for the rest of his life.

We need a freakin' shoe folder.
How many times does this need to be rehashed.
With a quick search of Shoe - I found 34 threads...

Wrestling or boxing shoes are typically light and rounded at the heel. However, you need to place gel insoles to make them comfortable for fencing.

For every one of these threads there's a post by you complaining about it.
If the thread has the word 'shoe' in it... ignore it. Just let it go man... "Since when does being a patriot in America mean shutting your mouth?"
