I feel you here on the quick lateral type steps. I can't believe it but about a mouth ago, I made one of these steps and down I went. The first time I have either hit the deck refereeing and it was all my fault, and it was also embarrassing. It was embarrassing because nothing happened as far as a quick turnaround type play, I just got my feet twisted up and down I went. As far as the running shoe, I can't find one that is all black like what we are suppose to be wearing and it is still comfortable. I see all type of shoes with silver in them, or that cushion or air padding that's suppose to be comfortable. IMO, these are not legal shoes. If it has silver in them, or two shades of black, no, no, no.

Last, most of you probably already know this but for some that may not. Do not take a new pair of shoes (new brand) right out of the box and wear them. Wear them around the house a couple of days first to break them in before putting them to test. I have wrecked my feet many of times doing this. Just thought I would share....

Peace

The silver on my shoes WAS nothing once I took a sharpie to em. I keep the sharpie in my bag and if they need a touch up, they get it.
