What do you guys think would be best to learn in? Some floppy old soft tennis shoes, stiff tennis shoes, or leather hiking shoes (I hesitate to call them boots as they don't cover my ankles, but they have a solid sole). What's a good tradeoff between feedback and support?
When learning, accidents come often. Wear something that gives you lots of protection. I'd recommend something that covers your ankles. Try something stiff to begin with, as you'll be landing on your feet in all sorts of odd positions and you'd be better off avoiding sprains and bruises. As you get more comfortable with mounts and dismounts, then you can wear your ol' floppies.
i wear skate shoes to, but with them quite tight. one pair i have i cant tie up because of the laces - they have too many cos they go pink then black then pink and so on - they are reali [censored] for unicycling because they just fall off when i try to do tricks. skate shoes are good because of the stiff bottom, and lots of padding around the sides. I dont like converse cos they dont look very padded and they wear out quickly. I think you should use stiff tennis shoes cos they are preti comfy, and also allow you enough support whilst learning. hiking shoes seem to me not reali right for unicycling, they are too big and chunky, so dont allow enough movement, but that might just be my opinion.
