At 56 years old, and 245 lbs, I started playing because of the COVID lockdown. I'm now 58 and weigh 173 lbs and have balance and energy I haven't had since college. Even got neighbors, friends and family playing, and my wife is pretty darn good for an older lady. As far as bags, and after about 40 footbag purchases (yeah, breakage and wear-out are just the reality), I really like the Stally brand. My shoes are trash since I still wear the same ones since I started, but they're a discontinued Sketcher's high top. Holes in the toe, top and bottom, but they offer excellent toe and ankle coverage and have good fabric for stalling. I'm now trying a Hey Dude pair that are similar to the Sketchers. The Magna shoe looks interesting, but dang, they're expensive. Do they last?

Hey Kerry! Thanks so much for sharing your story! Quite a transformation! Love that you're sharing footbag with others. In terms of the shoes, great to get some other recommendations in the comments section. The magnas have held up for me. I got the he blue pair in the video back in 2020 and wore them every day in 2021. I still wear them off and on now but they are pretty beat up. Still kickin it though! I'd like to add some more cost-effective shoes to the list so I'll post them here in the future.

High top Chucks make good hacky shoes. Lots of side target area and a wide toe. Also like a pair of Ecco suede high tops I found half off (180 dollar shoes normally)...like you said the suede has a nice grip to it.

[@smoovmoves]

Great recs! I can see the chucks being great for kickin! Appreciate the comment!
