Pool shoes
I think they are a good idea.
I think they are a good idea.
I actually designed (okay, concepted) a shoe for pool. Totally informally, but as a fun exercise with a major shoe manufacturer customer. I concentrated on the reinforcement of toe and ball area for repetitive stretched shots and such. Couple other silly things. I wish I could find that project.Why do you think it might be a good idea?
What would you want a pool shoe to do that some other kind of shoe does not already do ?
Hard to believe!
Can we add a removable extension to the sole for when we have to lean over the table and still touch the floor ?
Not if they're smart enough to learn the bridge.Do shot options by shorter players limit their game?
Having the higher ground can be advantageous.Not if they're smart enough to learn the bridge.
Well if they're good enough to be on our radar, they probably are smart enough to use a bridge. So... no disadvantage.Having the higher ground can be advantageous.
Not being smart enough is a serious barrier. It sounds better to call it less experienced.
I’d open my own pool room before I let my shoes smell like cigarettes.It won’t matter. Whatever shoes are on my feet will smell like cigaretteswhen I finish league night.

Do you support having a step available for shorter players? Mainly Filipinos.Well if they're good enough to be on our radar, they probably are smart enough to use a bridge. So... no disadvantage.
When I gambled a lot, I wore Wallabees…thick gummy sole….I was planted.I have a 1/2 dozen pairs of Sketchers.
The room I play in has hard wood floors.
Only one pair has enough grip to keep my foot planted when I stretch.
So yeah I have a pair of pool shoes.
