You shoes-off guys are weird! Everyone I know plays with their shoes on...except a few ladies.

It's easier for me to play with my shoes on. If I try to play without them, I'll be slipping all over the place, and it's just nasty to play barefoot, in my opinion.

you trying to dis us barefoot guys!  all ya gotta do is stick odor eaters on the pedals, and you're on the money!!!

No, I just play in socks.  I have narrow feet, and it works great for me.  Besides, I play a C3 and unless I decide to make a back cover that does go to the floor, nobody knows!!      

Last night I played chromatic scale on the pedals at 132!!

I just started and I think that walking bass as much easier with shoes off. So for church service at my home church to eliminate mess ups, I do shoes off and I try to practice with shoes on, to get that professional look when we go visit else where.

John Peters inspired me to play in timberland boots...he does it soo smoothly that I started doing it for about 2 years now...

Hello From Philly:

For all of the musicians that like to use the pedals with no shoes (including myself), just a bit of advice.  NEVER GO BAREFOOT!!  I had a bad experience playing barefoot.  We went to minister at a church out of state -- it was summertime - hot, so i wore sandals (no stockings/socks).  A few weeks later my left foot started itching and the skin began to crack -- I CAUGHT A FOOT FUNGUS!!  I still play without shoes, but if it's in the summertime, i wear footies and/or socks.   :lol:

[jrd2809]

shoes on, it feels more comfortable to me, and i dont want people to know if i have holes in my socks

[RMS2003]

I play with shoes off. I'm still a novice with pedals but I've tried with shoes on and I can't because I can't feel my foot hitting the pedal. I don't wanna spend money on special shoes either. We also have a C3 so no one see's my feet anyway. I always wear socks because, it just seems rather inapropriate to be barefoot in church, lol. Everyone that plays the organ at my church plays with their shoes off.

I play with shoes on. I tryed playing without shoes. IF HURTS LIKE  :twisted: . Juss kidinng. But I found that you can slide better with shoes on. No matter what kind or shoe. And I think that you can play higher on the pedals with shoes on. Probably juss me. :wink:

With me it depends.  I usually play shoes on.  But when I go to other churches I seem to play the pedals with my hands (primarily because I'm pulling up stuck pedals =o)

[cakinbro]

I play with my shoes on. I mainly play in casual dress shoes, dress shoes with a pointed toe, or timberland boots. I can't play with my shoes off.
