You can use just about any shoe at all. The only criteria is that the laces are visible!

Been thinking about purchasing this trick for a little while now because it looks like it would get a good reaction and you always have your shoes with you lol.

Anyway after reading this thread I think I'm going to have to go and order it right now.

Thanks for the review :)

It seems to be performed mainly using trainers, which I never wear.
Can it be used with any type of shoe? The reason why I ask is because I wear silver platform shoes on stage. Would it still work?

This really does seem like the perfect trick! Whats the catch?
Price? Breakable? Hard to do? Impromptu?

All the best,

I love the way you subtly failed to mention the price in that last entry.

Yeh.. I just conveniently forgot to mention it was a staggering, unaffordable £12.99 :roll:
