    What type of shoes are best for DDR?

    I know that whatever your comfortable with if fine, but is there really a certain type of shoes
    that enables you to play DDR at your best?

    I've mostly seen people in my area use skating shoes, and even saw one guy bought a pair
    just for this tournament. If shoes does matter when it comes to DDR, then which type of shoes
    would be effective for greater game play?

      Any kind of running shoe.

      In all seriousness, it's your skill level and nothing more. Once you move from toe to flatfoot you'll realize that the shoes you normally wear are better than anything.

        Whatever shoes are comfortable and have good traction.

                  Actually I find it quite difficult to play with running shoes. Those spikes at the bottom tend to throw you off due to its minimum traction.

                          Agreed, flat bottom shoes do have the most traction from my experience. Although they're not the best when it comes to speed, but they're the next best thing.

                            wait what

                            When I first played DDR, I did it flat footed. I sucked really bad. I switched to toes. I got better faster. Obviously, I'm no where near "pro", especially after not playing for so long, but how could flat footed be any better, unless you were to play in the style where your feet are always over the buttons and you never actually move around?

                            ps skateboarding shoes are the best shoes to wear in all instances in everyday life, including mild running/"dancing".

                              My friend always played on his toes and he uses air jordan shoes every time. He says that skateboarding shoes tend to get "too loose" and throw him off beat. Oh well, I guess if you play flat foot skateboarding shoes are the way to go.

                              I've rarely seen anyone in my area play on toes so I'm not sure if sport shoes are the best for that technique.
