Rowing Shoes

[[old] rowing113087]

I was wondering if ppl could give me their biggest complaints with rowing shoes. Mine is I'm a 14 1/2 and since I go to a public school we have limited revenue to buy new shoes to fit ppl.

My biggest complaint is sometimes, getting stuck with shoes either<br /><br />A ) Too small.<br />B ) Broken Ties.<br />C ) Can't Close the velcro.<br />D ) No backs.<br /><br />By the way, I also row for a public school which I was under the impression was the onlyone, which one do you row for?

yeah, that's pretty cool. Actually, in MA there are something like 20 public schools that compete in Mass Public State Championships so there are plenty of public school teams in MA.

There are actually a few hundred high schools that having rowing programs. In some states like VA there are almost 40 schools. <br /><br />Hang in there guys. It gets better in college.

I just found out that the we are one of the only public schools in new york state.

Our public high school has been successful over the past years. Two years ago we went to nationals, and we've won the state public championships since they began like 6 or 7 years so we hold our own usually against private schools. This year we weren't as successful with only 3 seniors on 1st boat, but next year we hope to do much better!

My biggest complaint isnt with the shoes in our club boats, but the shoes in my single, the screws that hold it to the board keep coming out and I hate rescrewing them back in every week or so it takes like 20 minutes and is just a pain
