also important is a continious sole for sole brushing.
How could I have missed that? Great suggestion.
Waterproof for bad-wheather-jams 😉

I chose “Other” because the flat sole (no pronounced difference between the height of the heel and sole) is most important so that you’re not accidentally rolling your ankle. My favorite shoes are either volleyball or tennis shoes.
Agreed..no heel. I’ve tried playing my my hiking boots, but the elevated heel throws me off.
