Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
out?

Unicycling consists of the two Bs: balance and balls. Without these,
you cannot progress

Well I wear trainers/joggers/runners/whatever else you people call them.
I feel much more secure with them because the pedal sits nice and
snugly in the arch. Depends what your definition of 'heels' is. When I
hear 'heels' I think high heels. 🙂

Heels... Brahma work "boots", they look like sneakers, but they have a
bit of heel to them, and steel toes... Good for muni I've found... When
I wear my heel-less timberland sneakers I find I feel less in control...

Has to be flat. I like to ride with the balls of my feet over the
pedals, wearing heals would not help, in fact they would only hinder me
when trying to adjust my foot position.

Flat, I feel quite disconnected wearing boots on a unicycle. I wear
Etnies Lo-cuts and sometimes Adios.

I don't think this has been clarified yet has it, but are we talking
muni, trials, freestyle, distance, XC or unicycling in general? If
someone mentioned this earlier, please accept my humble apology! 😉

I realise I'm in the minority, but I prefer a low-heeled, grippy-soled
dress shoe for riding. I think looks is the main reason. I prefer to
be well dressed while riding, so as to present the best possible face of
unicycling to the community. This helps to counteract the effect most
of us present. Plus, I like that the heel gives me a reference point
for positioning my foot on the pedal. And I haven't found any good use
for having any part of my foot aft of the arch on the pedal at any time.
The heel sometimes saves my foot from slipping off the front of the
pedal.

I don't like boots because of the loss of ankle flexibility. It tires
and annoys me.

While riding the trails at NAUCC, I came across a couple of other old
farts who have the same, or similar opinions. None of us are as good as
most of the people we see riding with VANS, but putting us in VANS
wouldn't improve our riding that much, I think.
