@@noir4356 One thing I didn’t mentioned that someone brought up, soles are sticky on concrete surfaces so if your form has heal or toe spins you have to modify your weight in the spin.
I enjoyed this video and ordered a pair . I was confused by the "extra" lace the each shoe came with or perhaps it's supposed to have an addditional very long lace at the top of the shoe . Or perhaps it needs to be double tied so the lace isn't touching the ground ? Comfy shoe just have to figure out laces :)
I practice on concrete most of the time, but in the winter I practice on a polished walnut floor. The form of tai chi that I practice has two spins, one heel spin and one on the ball of the foot. If a shoe has a very grippy sole, it makes the spins difficult, especially on the walnut floor. How would you describe the amount of grip of these shoes?
That is a really good question and did address that in the video. Furthermore I had some call me about that very issue. The shoes is grippy and you will have to adjust your spins. It definitely makes them more difficult, that said once you practice with grippy soles you have way more control and precision with different type of shoes on different surfaces. Long story short they are grippy. Thanks for question.
Hi Judy, one thing I forgot to mention is there is very little if no support in the shoe. If you use inserts this shoe might not be for you:) The model is called Loyak. astraldesigns.com/products/loyak-ws
Lems Primal Zens are awesome as are Xero Prio. Both lightweight with flat soles, zero drop and a nice toe box.
finding a proper taichi shoe is still a saga... thanks for the review. I'll check.

Hi, just wondering how are these on the width at the ball. They look pretty good. I have slightly wider than normal feet.
