Marching Music Health Wellness and Safety Program - Recommended Shoe List

Most recent update: February 2020

The concept is simple. Find shoes that are affordable, that work with this activity and that are generally available for the athletes who wear them. We spent time at Kohls, Dick's, Shoe Carnival and similar stores twisting, turning, evaluating and researching. We talked to sales folk in all those places and found that NOONE working there knew anything about our activity.
 
They suggested many things and all were wrong. We encourage you to work from this list and do everything you can to stay on the field. For US this simple concept keep you marching. - Dr. Tom Freeman

We strongly encourage you to try these shoes on in person before buying online. Once you've found the best shoes for your foot, we would appreciate it if you bought through these Amazon affiliate links. When you shop through retailer links on our site, we may earn affiliate commissions. 100% of the fees we collect are used to support our nonprofit mission.
