When I perform my cardio exercise (Rope Jumping) I never wear any shoes. My question is should i start to wear shoes to protect my knees ( I jump on a hard floor)

By the way its kind a fun to jump bear footed.

:uhyeah:

If it hurts when you do it barefooted, then wear shoes. If it doesn't, don't.

Your body will tell you all you need to know about this. Just listen.

I prefer to wear shoes for any high impact exercise.

I wear shoes because the jump rope I use hurts my toes if I ever smack the rope against them. It also prevents the rope from getting stuck between my toes.

My jump rope hurts too. But my philosophy is that as a martial artist you must train yourself to bear pain.
