Shoes

I tried flat shoes and found that a very soft tennis shoe with just a slight heal works better for me. I hv the V1 which is completely flat so the tennis shoes I'm using make a big difference. I feel more connected and my riding is much better.

As long as you're not wearing tennis socks (with the little fuzzy balls) with your tennis shoes . . . you start that crap and we're taking your board and kicking you out of the club.

@Kielanders How about socks and sandals?

@DreamTour

That look has sorta grown on me over the years!

But, I gotta tell ya, it's gonna be some special kind of pain and reconstructive surgery if folks get their toes dragged into the space between the spinning wheel & the metal frame.

i have long been a defender of that look, but due to public shaming i don't wear it outside the house. i don't get the scorn -- it makes great sense to me: your feet are protected but can breathe, and they stay cleaner! nobody wants to see other people's toenails, that's what i say. i am really looking forward to being old enough to not give a fffffff what people think about how i choose to dress, that's for sure, haha

You saw my socks? 😮

@Franko

My wife started doing that about a year ago. She wears these cute little hot pink 'athletic' soft rubber flops with toe socks!

At first I was like '. . . oh, god.', now it's not so bad.

I'd just be too worried to do it and having a de-gloving injury if the board got squirrelly and sucked my toes in.

If I use my tyedye socks w/sandles nobody bats an eye
as if I cared

LOL Franko, rest assured, as someone in the fashion industry I will tell you that you should be able to rock those socks + sandals these days without fear. That look has officially gone full circle now.

I personally hate toes too, and boycott all “peep toe” styles as well!

I like my Vibram 5 finger shoes....they’re not too bad.

If you think about it, each foot on a Onewheel has different criteria of importance. If all I am doing is Onewheeling sometimes I wear a skate shoe on my sensor foot with a different, comfortable shoe behind.

[Kielanders]

Well, you all can go with what works for you, but as for me . . . full helmet, hi-tops, & a Speedo.

Please delete your post!

I've been trying to get the wife riding, to get her out of her professional business attire rut.

I've told her the recommended ladies wear is: pink sequined tube top, distressed blue jean mini-skirt, and strappy studded gladiator sandals.

. . . you're not helping.

:o)

[phukendrew]

@Kielanders really, and shes not interested in riding you say???

But just think how easy it will be once she changes to flat shoes!
