What you want from your cheer shoes

Hey guys hope, you all are enjoying the New Year.

Now if you’re like me, obsessed with cheer and want to have the best equipment to help you reach your goal but still be on a budget then please keep reading.

The most important equipment a cheerleader needs is cheer shoes. We as cheerleader spend a lot of time stunting, jumping, tumbling, dancing and so much more. It’s very important that we get the right equipment to support out feet because we’re putting so much pressure on them and incorrect shoes can be uncomfortable and cause injuries. This means we should be putting cheer shoes on the top of our list as must have. I’m not saying that you should go out and buy cheer brand labels because I do believe that you are paying for the label as much as the shoes. What I’m actually saying is do your research

Now, I have been doing my research into cheer shoes and what we need from then.

You want a shoe that fits on your foot like a glove and cushions it.                                                                                                                                                                      Shock absorbed because of tumbling and jumping we do.

Ankle support because of dancing, tumbling, stunting and jumping we do.

Light weight which also helps with your tumbling.

Breathability because we train hard so need a shoe that allows water vapour to pass through it.

Flexibility so the judges can see you point your feet on your jumps and when you’re pulling a shape.

Durability  because no one wants a shoe that falls apart after a  couple of weeks.

So when looking for a cheer shoes remember to check for

Shoes that fit like a glove

Cushion

Shock absorbed

Good ankle support

Breathability

Flexibility

Durability

Finger groves / grips

Ps soon I will be doing reviews on certain cheer shoes or shoes that could be worn as cheer shoes
