    Shooting shoes

    IMHO They don't make you shoot any better.
    There also very expensive.
    I have owned several pairs over the years. Now just shoot with whatever is on my feet.

    However, if you feel you must get something. Take a look at weightlifting shoes.

    Or even skateboarding shoes as a really cheap try-out...

    But as Nick says, they will not make you shoot any better.

    The only thing they can do is remove one variable in your shot-routine, because they will be the same things on your feet every time you shoot, and that can be done with any reasonable item of footwear!
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    I have a problem with my foot that i'm awaiting surgery on, I was hoping the shoes would give more support as at the moment I end up in bad pain after about 30 minutes, I've been using weightlifting shoes but these load up the area where I have the problem, Not really looking for them to improve my shooting but more to give support and reduce the pain hence the reason I need to try before i buy.

    What a shame, I just checked my shoes and they're 44. I'd agree with Nick. I made a point of wearing the shoes for a while but then decided I was fed up of carting them to the range so I just wore my normal trainers and shot just as good as normal. I've got an average of 539 at the mo. I might start wearing them again but it was always more about the mindset and continuity with the shoes rather than seriously expecting to be suddenly planted. It's marginal gains at best but very expensive; then again the pistols aren't cheap are they?!
