I think it's really up to the team in what they want to do. If you want to wear shoe, but have the look of being barefoot a good dance shoe for that is hermies. If you're going to wear them for marching you can have a special sole put on them to make them last longer. My squad did that when I was on it. My squad wears jazz shoes and I haven't had any complaints yet! Hope this helps. :): My squad has been going back and forth over shoes. I am using to going barefoot from modern dance and think it provides greater comfort and freedom (of course I admit I am the type who would rather never wear shoes if i didn't have to!) Several on the team feel the same but a few don't like it and want us to wear jazz shoes (which I hate). I think our captain doesn't really care but figures shoes are safer and more common. Does anyone else have any input on this? Are there teams that always perform barefoot? Thanks!
