Topic: Econcomics and parkour ....

Though we don't use a lot of equipment when we pk, the shoes seem to matter, at least a bit. Can you pm or email me or send to me through telepathy how much you spend on shoes and (absolutly optional, please don't feel obliged) how much of your income that is, and how long you've been doing parkour? Thanks guys and gals, I appreciate it. Yay primary research for high school economics papers ...

well, my most recent pair of shoes was about $45. and i make about $5,000 a year (6.50/hr)

i go through shoes faster than anyone i know. at least a pair every 2 months. someone should design a durable parkour shoe.
i tend to use nike or converse. anybody have better suggestions?

i've had the same shoes for 2 years (i've only done parkour for a few months though) and i got them on sale for 40 bucks

It's all a matter of personal preference really, but check out this thread : The Gear Thread for some great tips and reviews of shoes!
