Just curious, what type of shoe everyone is wearing to class and what would you recommend for someone just starting out in Wing Chun?
If I remember right, after visiting 3 different Kung-Fu schools I think I saw a number of what looked like to me as kind of light weight skate type shoes, but not exactly sure what they were. I have not had much luck finding anything similar at Target or Walmart, or even Academy and Footlocker. The skate shoes Academy and Footlocker carry look to be of a much heavier type than what I thought I remember seeing. Other people I remember observing were wearing what looked like just plain ol' cross-trainers of one sort or another, but again not exactly sure and at the time did not give it much thought. Only now that I am preparing to start in the next few days has it even occured to me to figure out what type of shoe I will need for class, so thought I would start here on this forum by asking what everyone else is wearing.
Does the sole of the shoe need to have the pivot point or have a smooth surface?
Thanks for any advice.
