Seriously, what's up with that?
Every time I see a pedal test with sweaty, hairy feet trying to stomp on hard switches, it makes me cringe.
Very often, to the point of leaving the video.
Who could think that it's a good idea? Pedals are meant to be stomped on with biker boots, docksides or at the very least, birkenstocks if you're the tree hugger kind.
Even if you're in your bedroom or are super peculiar with your pedals (they never see a stage), a pair of socks couldn't hurt.
Save these guys from ever trying to sell their petri dish of a pedal. |

| | | | Is somebody with furry hobbit feet stomping on their pedals barefoot? As long as they take a shower first so not getting smelly nor toe jam on pedals. Lol.

lol
I like to wear shoes myself, gives more of a possitive feel, but when I don't have them on, I stomp away the natural way!
