Pretty beat up Converse Aggressor basketball shoes. Mostly flat bottom, not too heavy, and perfectly broken in. I'm probably gonna get a pair of K-Swiss shoes soon though because they're ridiculously light and very comfy.

I play with Vans and they are great! The grip is really good and I haven't slipped once. plus they are extremely comfortable. I've also heard the Customatix shoes are SO GREAT for DDR. I am ordering some very soon! VANS ALL THE WAY BABY.

Barefoot for me. i say that's the best way to play. i have my own DDR at home so i usually don't go out and play it at malls or arcades or whatever. -shrug-

I just wear skatting shoes, they sometimes weigh to much. But I usually only wear them when I want to play Max 300 or something, better grip. (Finally got a A on Max 300 ( 1. 5 Speed) a couple of days ago)

I tried those nike shox, they are pretty good, they (boing) when you you step on the pad, saves energy. But currently, i am using the new nike shox propulsion shoes, they are even better! they support medial and lateral movements, perfect for ddr! also, another tip, never use the nike basketball shox, they are good, but too heavy for ddr. (great for basketball though!)

For me, I have to have my Nike running shoes, or something that is extremely stable on my feet. Sandals and mocs slip too much, and barefoot screws me up because I am always scared to step down hard without shoes.

It all depends on what I'm going for. If I'm going to be working on doing stuff on Heavy then I'll wear just some tennis shoes or these really REALLY comfortable and supporting Tommy Hilfiger shoes I have. If I'm freestyling it's a different story. I do a bit of a dressier affair because I like to look good when I dance. I'll sometimes where something similar to loafers, but I do have some nice Skechers boots that I wear. Heavy? A little, but I've developed enough leg strength to where it doesn't even matter anymore. It looks mighty fine to be dancin' on the board when you're spiffed up.

I play in 'Roos identical to the ones found here: http://store.alloy.com/catalog/browse/productview.asp?PRODUCT_ID=17789&PARENT=106&PARENT=1027 . They even have little pockets on the side, perfect for storing tokens.

I usually wear my military issue steel-toes going to the arcade and play one full session in those. Then, I put on my Pony joggers. They have *great* grip and feel so good. Especially when playing with two pairs of socks, or one thick pair.

Looking on getting some high-end gel inserts for my joggers sometime soon. Although, I'm not too sure about it.

Has anyone had any adverse affects switching from a naked shoe to a gel-lined shoe?
