Re: [Jump Rope] Re: Jumping on concrete?

the best kind of shoes I've found for jumping are volleyball...they only last about one season, but they support your feet really good!!

I have a pair of Nike's right now that are excellent... and as far as jumping on concrete I've always been told it's really bad but I would jsut suggest putting a excersize mat down or buying some tylon (what they use at USAJRF Nationals) I hope this helps...

Kyna :-D
