shoes

I wear skate shoes, and they work out great... i once heard you are
supposed to wear boots.. tried it once and found out it was a dumb
idea. -(sorry i just offended the person who wears boots on their
unicycle).-

My kids bought me some skate shoes last year and they are what I prefer
to wear. I will wear just about anything, including Wolverine lace-up
boots.

I have not tried using my bicycling shoes. They are designed to use
clipless pedals, but I saw a picture of a unicyclist using them with a
platform pedal.

Skate/bmx shoes are the best. Got a new pair of World shoes and after 2
minutes of riding and one hickflip the left outside rubber part at the
bottom ripped off.

i preferably wear "And 1'" hightop sneakers. they are extremely light
weight, and protect your ankles from clacking against the cranks,
pedals, and spokes.

they work quite well. but skate shoes are popular. i might try them

I actually wear a pair of birkenstock walking shoes... O.k. stop
laughing ....

The sole is really grippy even in wet conditions and the shoe actually
offers some support for my feet, unlike any skate shoe out there.

vans. The ones with the "waffle" sole. I have a pair of ordinary ones
and a pair of high tops.

On my 20" I either wear my sandals or basket ball boots.

I learnt in DMs which was kinda useful when my feet were threatening to
slip of the front of the pedals and my heels would cling on, but once I
was over that stage they became a pain. I now wear a heavy tread
trainer which has a good grip on the pedal even though my pedals are
not at all of the super-grippy sort.
I'm considering getting some skate shoes, but they're a bit pricy just
to ride in. If I do get some, they'll be the ankle-high variety to
protect against ankle to crank contact.

i started out using vans skateboarding shoes but after slipping off the
pedals all the time i have switched to my asics running shoes because
the have alot better grip and now the only times i slip off are when my
shoes get wet.

I have Globe skate shoes, with a great sole, that catches the pins on
the pedals quite good.

I always use running shoes. Skate shoes looks stupid to me and those are
too big and heavy. Otherwise I'd (probably) use them.
