| I had purchased a pair of martial arts shoes rigth after I started teaching because I was allowed to. Big mistake. The extra traction on the mat ate the shoes alive. In addition to that I was unable to do any spinning kicks because my feet would stick to the ground. I went back to barefeet for training in the DoJang.
By myself I'll just wear running shoes, they hold up well enough on cement and dirt and don't weigh much. |
