1. If you place a "spin" area where we may spin - such as on a rotational shot put / hammer / discus shoe (in track & field) - it would be "good" only for rubber / cement tees...as that same spin area might be greased lightning when throwing off of wet grass, etc.

2. If that spin-sole area is only on 1 shoe, you'd have to buy "right-footed pairs" or "left-footed pairs"...something (making TWO different sets of shoes) the shoe company probably wouldn't be up for.

3. If you put the spin area on BOTH shoes, see 1. above.

Just some thoughts...not saying it couldn't be done....

What you both have to keep in mind is that it takes $150,000+ to make such a Disc Golf shoe from the ground up with such specifications. It takes slightly less then that to take an existing shoe and make such changes to the grip and reinforcements to the upper.

But the research and development will take place in designing such a shoe when Keen realizes that there is a sustainable market in Disc Golf.

Support the companies that support Disc Golf and this will happen.

No Worries, but like I said before - They release on November 20th.

Until then, they just show the first size available. They will have 1500 for sale on that date and will make more when the initial run is sold out.

So lets sell through these before Christmas and request that they make more.
