...Who else plays without wearing socks and shoes? I don't so I don't get ingrown toe-nails. I learned that the hard way. :wacko:

At home I play with barefeet, but when you're playing a show, I suggest you wear some shoes... :P

Wow, why does everyone here play barefooted? :blink:

I've tried it once or twice. I think it's an aweful way to play. Nope, just give me a pair of shoes! :P

i think it also depends on the shoes. if they are comfortable enough it's okay. but i still prefer playing without shoes.

I sometimes had to play wearing combat boots. That really felt as though my feet were lead.
I always play with sneakers (more like 'skater shoes', like Fallen) or (fake :P ) allstars. Works the best for me :)

i could never imagine playing with combat boots. i think especially when you play double bass it must be quite difficult.

Well, I don't play double bass, but even then it's really hard to play faster/as fast as you can with a single. It's even hard to keep the work up.

So yup, sneakers for me.
