My feet hurt from standing at work all day so I tend to ride with my the pedal directly in the middle of my foot because the ball and heel hurt.But it got me to thinking where do you keep your foot on the pedal and what size shoe do you wear? I don't slip pedals very often but I don't feel as confident when I ride on the balls of my feet

Middle of my feet. Tried feet balls (hah, feet balls, thirteen.) And uhg. Felt unstable and disconnected from the bike.

I wear 10.5s or 11s and I really don't know where I position my feet. I'm flat footed so I kind of just slap my feet on the pedals and go! I guess I try to keep my pedals on the waffle bottom part of my Vans. Or the section that is actually made for pedals. Isn't that called the waffle bottom? I don't know.

I wear 13s and it doesn't matter much where I put my foot I just ride.

I wear 9 1/2 and coast with the middle of my feet on the pedals and ride on the balls of my feet when i do tricks. It helps me control my bike better.
I love my bike but i hate myself

That's cause you got a foot the size of a waffle iron ! Hard to slip a pedal

Who makes 12.5s? I fit 12.5s for almost 2 years and never found any shoes I could have rode in in 12.5s and jumped to 13s until I grew into them.
Thanks Mitchovich, I'll take that as a compliment.

I path used to make them for the reeds ages ago so i bought a heap of them
But yeah its really weird since they make them all the way up in full size and in half sizes but from 12 up they dont
