    Fatfencer's shoe needs a NAME!!!

    Kudos to whomever it was on here who introduced me to the Shoe In One Day website. They are an awesome resource.

    We are almost ready to ship of our 3D models to Shoe In One Day but none of us can figger out what to name the shoe.


    SO!!! here's the gig. Anyone who figgers the name out and posts it on this thread FIRST will get $100.00 PLUS a free pair of shoes.

    So start thinking and come up with something awesome

    How about:

    Asgard (just sounds cool, and gives you godlike footwork!)
    Balestra (reinforces the idea of active footwork)
    Glide
    Medalist

    • Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
    • To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial

    Personally, I like tempo (suggested above by Cerian). Short and to the point. I also really like counterpoint, punte, or remise. I suspect counterpoint is too long, but sounds great for a fencing shoe.

    Fencing is all about tempo, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, so a couple of musical terms:
    Allegro - lively and fast
    Cadence - A sequence of chords that brings an end to a phrase, either in the middle or the end of a composition.
    Capriccio - A quick, improvisational, spirited piece of music.
    Courante - A piece of music written in triple time.
    Counterpoint - Two or three melodic lines played at the same time.
    Energico - A symbol in sheet music a direction to play energetically.
    Staccato - Short detached notes, as opposed to legato.

    We're all assuming that this is a fencing shoe. Are you trying to sell it to a particular kind of fencer?
