Best shoes for pedal steel

[Howard Parker]

LOL!! Working on smoothing out my volume pedal technique.

Too easy to mash that thang!!!

Oh, Howard. I'm screwed up at the other end. Trilateral complete tear of the rotator cuff, requiring surgical repair. Best wishes.

I'd say that, for footwear, it doesn't matter what shoes, so long as you always wear that style for the first few years of playing: the change will feel different, and distracting, until you don't have to think about how to play.

How about a pair of these?

They'll get attention, and probably work well

My feet hurt all the time. To me, more important than the shoe itself is the arched inserts I put in the shoe. I wear Merrell shoes that are low below the ankle. It allows me to twist my foot and ankle to make clean contact with the pedals.
