I know there have been threads about great shoes to play in, but I think it should be addressed occassionally as new one are coming out.

Whenever I shop for anything, I always consider how it will affect my pool game. Shoes especially. I look for good carpet traction, comfortable sole & good comfy interior. I'm currently playing in some Johnston Murphy casuals. They are extremely comfortable in the long haul and grip very well.

Does anyone have shoes that you swear by as "players"?

I play pool in 2 different kinds of shoes... New Balances and Nike Shox. The Nike's give the New Balances the 7 out.

When I play one-pocket I wear orthopedics. (joke)

British Knights! ;)

The shoes that light up when you walk may be helpfull too. They may look stupid and not be comfy at all, but you could walk around your opponenets line of sight and shark them!

Now i just have to convince the wife I NEED them.:eek:

Come on Ray, just close your eyes and count backwards from 100. It will happen and you will feel all better in the morning.

I love that line lol.

on a serious note too, i think there's definitely something to be said for wearing some sort of shoe as opposed to trainer - kind of keeps you flatter and more balanced. steadier. trainers have a tendency to make you rock a little bit.

I totally agree with you, Ironman.
What's next? What color of shirt makes you play better?
Does the type of soap you wash with affect your game?
Sheeesh!

All that's needed is a little common sense.

You can play in any type of shoes. Yes, if you are playing in a tournament or a long session it makes sense to wear comfortable shoes. However, picking shoes specifically for playing pool seems a bit extreme.

LOL...I love my pool shoes...

They are the original ones that Dorothy wore in the Wizzard of Oz ... Whenever I get in over my head on the table I can still click them together three times and repeat over and over "There is no place like home " and presto I'm out of there waking up at home in bed like nothing ever happened ... Best pool shoes I ever owned...

Did I mention my Billiards cell phone it comes in handy for the times when I don't have on my Pool shoes... Just flip it open and call my starship Enterprise ... And tell Scotty to beam me up I'm in a world of **** ...

Ya'll dont even want to know about what I wear / have when things are going good ...lol...

Gotta be a pair of Keens. Most comfy shoe ever. We're like a cult. When we see others wearing them, we stop them on the street for conversation.
