Shoe size? Does it matter?

So I guess hand size is important for QB’s and WR’s. 

 

What about shoe size. Is it indicative of a lengthy career? Does a longer shoe give a player/person better overall power and performance.?

 

Should our team scouts start measuring draft eligible players and free agent’s shoes to gauge their likelihood of success as a player (better stability on the field, greater square inch coverage on the turf for better grip and cutting ability)?

 

Just my thoughts on this subject and thinking about doing an expose on my next cable sports show next Saturday. Feel free to discuss.

Well what if the foot is normal size but the toes are small?  Would this mess with balance?

 

I thing proportional feet are more important than size. Also foot strength. Can't stress that enough. 

 

Hopefully there are some metrics being developed

On some level isn't every post a LAMP post to some varying degree? ???

Weight may be more important than size.

[DC Tom]

WR's definitely benefit from smaller feet, since it's easier to get them in bounds.

If you say so lol

Only if she's 5'3", in which case she's too short to play QB anyway.

The smaller the foot the faster the cut. Look that one up.

Do they call that style The Sasquatch?

 

X country and track a coach would make you run 10 laps for that form

Nothing to do with any crazy crap like that. I posed a serious question in a thread, you came back with nonsense. Calling it a spade buttercup

Horrendous form. He needs to pump his arms hard and long to increase his speed.

you think he really tried his best? do you think because of possible much better speed that everyone will scream run first? think about it lol

Ok..I'll lay it out for ya. Hand "size" is often measured and pondered when drafting a QB. But isn't hand "strength" equally, if not MORE important to the position? If so, why do we not see any stats on that?????????????????? Question. 

Attention grab? Go f#*k yourself.

I don't need/ want any attention. Especially from you, or anybody for that matter, on the internet Lmfao. Dummy

I've seen soccer players with big feet more prone to ACL tears with large shoe sizes. But at this point in the players careers, I'm pretty sure they have adjusted their footwork correctly

[Augie]

I think your feet care a lot!

And yet here you are continuing an “argument” on who wants more attention.    

 

Chill out man.

analytics goes boom. 

Sure it matters.
Dragging the second foot and completing the catch going out of bounds. hugely important !

But a larger foot size is also mass. More energy exerted to move it. and perhaps more difficult for cutting, starting and stopping. Read > clumsy ish ?
 Excellent question. 

 Great opportunities in this thread i might imagine. Like a picture of Rex Ryan and his wife..

It's not important on this board.  As Prince sang; "Act your age, not your shoe size!"

Prince sang that?

seems i used to hear that as Kid too often
