Who wears shoes on inverts?

My friend told me not to wear shoes on inverts and I must admit it is really cool. I went on V2 and the tips of my socks were blowing all around. If you havent tried it you should.

I do.

One time after riding Disaster Canyon (SFEG), I was soaked to the bone. I took my shoes and socks off on both the Mind Eraser and The Tower Of Doom. It feels very nice.

I always wear my shoes on inverts.....Kinda have an odor problem;)j/k. I'll try it next time, but I wouldn't really notice it. I mean, I'd be concetrating on how fast Alpengeist goes down that 170' drop than what the tip of my socks are doing. I can stick my feet out of the car window to make them blow around, big deal...

I've never tried it. Maybe I'll try next year.

I always wear my shoes on inverts. I guess it is because I am very self-concious and I would feel like an idiot taking my shoes off.

I used to think people would steal my shoes.

I always wear my shoes on inverts. I almost lost them though on my frst ride ever on BTR @ SFMM.

B&M Inverteds: I'll ride it with my shoes on (Gotta make sure my shoes are really secure)

Vekoma Inverteds: I will take my shoes OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the feeling of riding barefooted on them, same for space shots and turbo drops. I dont really know why.

I usually wear my shoes, but last time I went to SFWoA I forgot and accidentally wore my berks that have no backstraps. Therefore I had no choice but to leave them off. Barefoot is a wonderful feeling on inverts, SLC's and floorless coasters. I wouldn't go through the trouble of taking off shoes and socks for it though, but if you're wearing sandles, tevas, etc.. you should try it.

I do! I do! Seriously, I don't take my shoes off, for fear of a person stealing them. If I have sandals on, in the summer months, I usually take them off, because the ride attendants usually ask me to. I geuss I will try that idea next summer when I'm on an inverted coaster or an SLC. I don't see the need in risking my shoes stoling, especcially when my feet will be freezing after barreling around at around 60 mph, in the cold October air.

I've only ridden one invert without my shoes (T2 at SFKK). Every summer I go on Mind Eraser as many times as I can, and not one of those times have I worn my shoes. I don't really worry about someone stealing them. I think you'd notice someone taking 2 pairs of shoes while getting off the ride.

I would feel stupid and it would probally look really stupid if I took my shoes off.

When I went to Sweden, everyone took off their shoes on every ride that did not have floor. I like to keep my shoes on because it wastes too much time taking them off and putting them back on, plus shoes add that extra inch in the foot choppers.

My feet glow in the dark (bad sock tan, don't ask) so I wouldn't be caught dead without my shoes (unless I had to).

I have taken them off on Supreme Scream before.
Actually, at that time my feet were all bandaged up. I was afraid that the bandages would fly off and end up in the log ride or something. :)
But they stayed on, and it was fun to ride with no shoes on!!
