    WAG Tramp Shoe Question

    As meet season gets a little closer, I have a question about tramp shoes. I competed eons ago and never was a fan of the tramp shoes with the strap across the top, I always had to have the slipper type of shoe. I remember disliking suede bottoms, but I managed because it wasn't the strap. Well...

    MAG Tumble Shoes

    Hi. My son is 12 and is having pain with severs again. He also has high arches and a tight ligament in his foot causing pain. We were told tumbling shoes may help for the severs. Has anyone used them? Any recommendations for which ones?

    Parents House shoe for severs

    Hi, My daughter is once again having heel pain from severs. We have heel cups for her shoes, supportive shoes, cheetah cups for when she is in gym. She ices her heel and stretches often. I'm looking for advice on a supportive slipper or birkenstock type shoe that she can wear around the house...

    Parents Toe shoes

    Anyone have experience with these? DD wants to explore using them for turns on floor. I've been told to look for rhythmic gymnastic shoes but after searching online I am thoroughly confused. I've seen things called both shoes and socks (same thing?) And lots of different materials: canvas...

    Questions about these beam shoes: Gemini Beam Shoe

    Hello, I have a daughter who is a competitive gymnast and in the gym 20 hours/week. All the chalk on bars is drying out her feet, making them crack, bleed, and painful. I asked her coach if she could wear traction socks at practice while on bars and he said she needed beam shoes since socks...

    WAG Toe shoes for floor

    DD is training L8, she has the double turn on floor and is working turns with her leg upright. I was looking into getting the toe shoes for her (not sure if that's the correct name for these). I saw some of the elites wearing them on one foot. Does your gymnast use them? Are they helpful? What...

    MAG Tumbling shoes

    Does anyone have a kiddo that wears tumbling shoes? If so, where do you get them? Any tips? Ds would like me to get him some, but I am a little lost on it...

    Stupid Question? Why do they use ribbons on pointe shoes?

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but why do they use ribbons on pointe shoes, as opposed to like elastics or something? vs I guess my question is, why are they ribbons, as opposed to elastics - obviously the nike ones don't look like ballet shoes, but why do they use thin, stiff ribbons as...

    WAG Big Toe Getting Stuck - Beam/Floor Shoe?

    Hello all. I've started training again in my old age and am having the time of my life except for one little (or big) problem. When I do turns on beam or floor, my big toe frequently gets "stuck" and then is bruised/swollen for a week or two after. Not looking for medical advice, but rather...

    WAG One Shoe?

    Why does Ragan Smith only wear one shoe for beam and floor? Do others do this too and I just haven't noticed?

    WAG What's the difference between tumbling and beam shoes?

    Hi all, I recently bought and started using the Pegasus All Around shoes and love them. However, I have noticed that when I do turns with them on beam, they leave quite a mark on the beam cover. I'm going to a camp at another gym this weekend and don't want to be ruining their equipment. So...

    WAG Beam Shoes, help please!!

    So what are the rules regarding beam shoes. My DD is an 11 yo training 5/6/7 (we'll see where she falls come competition season). She has a severe case of hyperhidrosis (sweating condition) and over the last year and a half has fractured her growth plate in her shoulder and was out for several...

    WAG Beam shoes

    What's the best brand? And where can you get them for less than $50? Seems a little ridiculous to spend that much on little pieces of leather.

    WAG Deodorizing beam shoes

    It's embarrassing to post, but my beam shoes are RANK. I have tried airing them out which doesn't help much, and even carpet deodorizer (sort of helps, but they end up smelling like weird fake perfumed flowers and, well... sweaty gymnast feet). Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get them...

    WAG Beam shoes

    My coach is making me start wearing beam shoes since flight skills, leaps & jumps on beam are killing my heels (and my ridiculously sweaty feet literally slide off the beam- it's like walking on ice.) I don't know anything about beam shoes & I have two options: Shoe: Gemini Beam Shoe...

    Shoe size to Height (big feet)

    I'm 4ft 11 1/2 in. And my shoe size is 5.5Y (Youth) and anywhere from a 6-8 in women's depending on brand. I only have one pair of flip flops that run small that are a size 8. But I usually wear 6-7 women's. I realized that I should be around 5ft 3-4in with my shoe size. It does affect my beam...

    WAG Beam shoes?

    I was browsing for some Leos online for dd and came across beam shoes/slippers. I know these were used many years ago but I haven't seen them used in recent years, at least not in the USA. Are there clubs that still use them? What benefit do they offer?

    WAG Curious about floor and beam shoes?

    Hi everyone, so this is just an idle question that I'd love to get an answer to. What exactly is the purpose of the different floor and beam shoes/slippers that I've seen some gymnasts wearing? Sarah Finnegan wears little half-shoes, while Ellie Black has full ones, and I even saw a Chinese...
