Dress Shoes, Black Macbeths, or white leather Nike Dunks. All low top.

Guys, don't wear running shoes, and if you have to, don't let them be the same pair you do yard work in.

The day i see a bassist wearing Crocs, i'll whack'em in the head with a cricket bat

-Depends on the gig. If I'm dressing casually grey low cut sneaker like hikers, a bit more dressed up, cowboy boots, either black zipper or peanut color pull ups.

I wear shoes that are specially designed for bass. The soles are made of a high-tech polymer developed by Dupont for the space program. This material advances the propagation of frequencies from 30hz through 4khz thereby increasing the transmission of bass output into the audience by 3db. For an upcharge, laces made of the same material are provided that will extend the augmented frequency range to 18khz for bassists who prefer the higher frequencies blended into their sound.

But are they the best for metal? And should you stack them vertically? Sorry.......

Indoors: Skate shoes. Hard to twist your ankle in but they kind of hurt after 5 sets. hmmm... Maybe time for a change. When playing outdoors, barefoot.
What are these Chucks everyone is talking about?

Just to think about having something between my toes makes me feel claustrophobic and want to scream and kick frenetically until its over.
