we use black shoes, and always have.

and because of our budget, we're going to be using the same ugly uniforms with the same black pants for all of my years at LHS.

so i'm guessing no white shoes for me.

it's just my opinion but i think white shoes look really sharp on the field.

well, white can look very nice.... they show more mistakes than black, but definatly look sharp

Yeah, I always cleaned my shoes that way. My sister used bleach on hers & they turned an ugly off-white-almost-yellow color. It was pretty gross.

But my band's feet aren't that great, and so we got black shoes to go with blue pants. And we had a red stripe down the side & we took that off. We look cleaner & I'm betting we wouldn't look so good if we still had the stripe & the white shoes.

oh yea, red is the most revealing color on a field, judges can see every wrong move made because the red is such a contrast

depends on uniform schematic, etc. although, if you wear a white shoe, be prepared to march well!!!

I like the black marching shoes a lot better than the white because if you don't have the best marching style, (although it should be the same), it really isn't as noticable rather than wearing white marching shoes which is.

Our shoes are rolled at the heal so that it is a lot more comfortable while marching and it isn't bad for your feet.

our drum majors where white shoes but there uniforum is white

White shoes = "Hey, judges! You can spot anyone one of us off step at anytime and at any distance!"

During my sophomore year, we didn't have spats, which made it seem like we were good marchers. But the following year when they were added, gawd...

cleaning white shoes is a pain, black shoes are wasier to wipe off, plus they are lifesavers for the rookies that can't march. Since they blend in, but they match our uniforms.

My freshmen year we had white shoes but our pants were white. Well sort of, they were really old so they were more off white, but yea. When we got our new uniforms we switched to black shoes to go with the black pants. But in Jr. High we always had black pants, black shoes, and then white spats, and it looked REALLY good. Even now they’ve gotten new uniforms and the pants are dark blue, but we still do black shoes and white spats. Every show we go to we get complimented on the spats because they really show off the feet. But we also pay very close attention to the marching because if someone is out of step you can see it no matter where they are.
