    Ah yes, the Jager girls

    Help: Feiyue and Shoes For Training

    I love wearing Feiyue shoes for wushu training. As anyone who has worn them knows, they quickly fall apart and only provide minimal support for a short period of time.

    I've been having some knee trouble and would like to wear shoes with thicker soles for training. But Feiyues, or other slipper like brands, are very traditional for wushu.

    Is this because it is better to train (jumps, tumbling, splits, etc.) in slipper like shoes? Can more traditional sneakers with thicker soles cause injury? I'd love to hear what you guys think/have experienced.

    I've still got an old pair of those stylish paragons of footwear I got when I was in China back in the mid-90s.

    You want to avoid shoes that lift the heel. You may want to try some volleyball or indoor soccer shoes. Both are flat bottom, allow side to side movement, and may have more arch support. The soccer shoes will have a stiffer sole.

    As funny as this sounds, I actually wrote about this in my blog about a month ago. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

    I also like the feel of Feiyue shoes and recommend them to my students but I don't think they are perfect.

    christ i missi kung fu sometimes. i love posting when drunk.

    for different reasons i need similar shoes. when squatting and deadlifting i need something that keeps me close to the ground, yet doesnt squish a lot which ****s everything up. if you squish into the floor you cant generate power for squatting or pulling ... same as in rooting.

    the best bang for your buck in powerlifting is converse chuck taylors. although i wore them as a kid because they were cheap, i thought it was just trendy until i tried them out. they are better than barefoot for squatting, and although i've done no extensive tma training in them, they feel great when i go through some old movements for warmup before lifting.
    where's my beer?

    High top converse with good orthotics for support, for Wu Shu I like that the best . with too much heel lift there is a greater chance of rolling of the ankle and also increased chance of tendonitis of the Patellar tendon especially with alot of jumping and low squatting. Try Pumas and or Nike again with orthotics. Some of the New balance stores can fit you for orthotics from 25.00 to 200.00 KC

    Second this, with a cavite: don't use wrestling shoes if you gots to run durring class. They're fantastic for every thing else, but not running. I actually only use my mat shoes ing kung fu, never on the mat any more. Kept injuring my toes because I couldn't flex my ackles enough.
