Thread: Shoes do they really matter?

  1. #1

    Default Shoes do they really matter?

    do the type of shoes you use actually make a difference? I am on the market for new shoes and to tell you the truth I don't keep mine in the best of conditions. And what shoe should I get?

    They can.
    Shoes with a slide sole on one shoe and a traction sole on the other. The traction sole improves your power step (the next-to-last step) which adds to your body's momentum. Which gives your swing more impetus and thus improves leverage.

    Look for shoes that have a slide sole and a traction sole. (They don't have to be the ones with interchangable soles)

    here's a example someone posted in another thread.

    Or maybe it is time to change your style to right handed??

    I've been looking to get shoes too. I have been just borrowing. Had no idea that there were left handed and right handed shoes.

    Dexters and Etonics are good, as for a particular model I cant say. I'm using Dexter SST 7's myself, if I had to replace them I think I'd go to the SST 8's.
    I liked the Dexters back when I first got them, because they were a little wider and I felt more stable.
