jackson2170, as long as your old shoes are for baseball you should be good

I think it was a joke, any sneakers should be fine.

Naw i just laid down some sand paper, like 150 grit and go barefoot. And if thats not enough traction I put some spikes and broken glass on it, just help. For some reason my feet are a little torn up, i think i need to break in the glass first! Smash

drill some bindings on it, they grip better than any shoe on the market

any shoe will be fine, you can ride barefoot if you really want to
