What up dudes?
I don't want to sound like a newb but it never even occurred to me. I've been breaking for almost a year and I've been wearing low cut pumas. They're good, but sometimes when I do my knee drop I'll slide my right foot over my right ankle and get into the six step, then do some footwork, and go into power moves, and so on. In any case, when I slide my foot across my ankle after a while it gives me a nice scratch and it hurts, so I obviously stopped sliding it and start lifting it. But then it came to me, my shoes are low cut. So I just want to know what kind of shoes does everybody out there wear, high ones or low ones.
Peace out,
BC

Breakin? High-cut shoes suit me. That way I can tuck my pants into 'em and allow for some extra cushion, and 'spring' in some of my footwork.

Popping however, I find that gliding is a lot harder in high-cut shoes, so I wear some low-cuts for those........yeah, I actually got 4 pairs: Breaking, Popping, Soccer (Not including cleats and/or indoor shoes), and ones for mowin' the lawn in. lol

I guess it'd depend on a number of things: Comfort, and your style, as well as your capabilities. Some people wear shoes that it's harder to do certain moves in, then switch to easier ones to improve their skills.....IE, doin' flares in steel-toed boots, then switchin' to light shoes. Your flares'll be right on the cash after that.

P.S. I can't find the topic you posted it in, but u asked if I can speak polish, or if I'm just that way by nationality (Altho you said it in polish.) There are 3 parts to speech: Writing, Speaking, and Understanding.....unfortunately, I can't do the first 2., therefore had no problem understanding what u wrote, but I'll be damned if I could respond in polish. lol

Thanks Movicz, it's cool, it's easier for me to speak english now any way, I don't have to think how to properly say stuff before I say it anymore. I think I'll switch to high cut, the effect will probably be better.
