New balance ct520
New balance ct520
So I was reading through some of the older threads and found that the new balance ct520's give better support than lavers. The only problem is I can't find a place to buy them. Are they still in production? Or just get lavers, I was also looking for more grip in the sole. However mind u I have not had either of these shoes before so if I am wrong about grip/support please let me know.

learning your basics with g-units can cause bad form, because the catching surfaces do a lot of the work for you. it should be your body doing most of the work to perform the stall. I use G-units cause they help me play everyday, I was getting really sore in Lavers and quantums. I do like to keep my form in check with the occasional laver or quantum session. Get a pair of lavers and g-units if you can afford it

Lol, I learned all my basic stalls and kicks and around the world and stuff in running shoes that suck more than my vacuum and a 32 I made. I now want to get serious and get the proper shoes but I have some knee problems so I'm hesitating to buy lavers. I have my own orthotics. In your opinion would the lavers work or should I save my knees with a pair of g units? Thx in advance

key word there is CAN, not DOES cause...
of course bad form is possible with any shoe as is good form.
I have been playing in lavers and quantums for 2 years and g-units for 6 months-year. I personally think you will be fine with lavers if you have good insoles and only use them for footbag. good form helps too.

in my opinion the catching surfaces on clipper and toe are better on the g-unit, but setting out of them is more troublesome. the toe can be bucket like and the clipper can stick a little too much.
