Nfinity Best. Amazing ankle support

I miss the Nike sideline’s with swappable colors. The nfinity is the new cool

New Balance

Nfinity for the win!

I have the nfinity vengeance and they’re awesome for tumbling because they’re so light, but they’re also basically just build of foam and mesh so they’re not the most durable haha

nfinity vegence. but they wear out fast. and the black ones wear out even faster. but both my daughters love them

My daughter and most of her flyer friends like nfinity evolution

Champion shoes would be another recommendation

rebel revolt are my favourite

I am a flyer and a tumbler and I have the rebel ruthless shoes. I would not get them again because the seam where the toes flex, between the leather and the mesh is creating a hole on both shoes. For my next shoe I’m looking to get the nfinity flyte shoe since I’ve noticed many high level flyers have all knit shoes. Also feedback from bases is that they prefer the grip they get with knit shoes. So for your daughter I think any knit cheer shoe would be best

If you're on a budget, try the Ion shoes from Omnicheer, they run narrow. I do recommend going up a half to a full size as, like most cheer shoes, they run small.

My daughter is a flyer, teeny tiny for her age with narrow feet. She wears nfinity

Rebel and nfinity are like the best options. Little pricey but last years and are perfect for cheer

No limit vro is always my first choice

Stay away from nfinity. At this point they're a gimmick. The flutes are possibly the worst I've worn

Nfinity Flytes are a great flyer shoe (coming from a base)! I would say they work very well for narrow feet.

nfinity is where it's at. nike has some good shoes that aren't necessarily cheer. i used the nfinity evolutions for stunt, and the rivals when i was on sideline. avoid the vengeance since you're a back spot. when i initially couldn't afford the nfinitys for sideline, i wore some cute but clunky nike volleyball shoes. you'll want something light but with a good grip!

if it's sideline cheer then I suggest going with a shoe made for outdoor wear such as Nfinity rivals or varsity shoes that are made to withstand the outdoors. a lot of cheerleaders complain about how their shoes are falling apart and are dirty yet they're wearing shoes made for competitive cheer, so made sure if you are doing sideline cheer that you buy shoes meant for that. you don't "need" to but it'll save your money.

if it's competitive I'd suggest Nfinity evolution, Nfinity Vengeance, and Nfinity flytes. I liked my Nfinity Beasts too because of the ankle support but I felt it was hard to point my toes in jumps and air positions. I'm big into Nfinity if you couldn't tell

if you're looking for a less expensive option to Nfinity or Varsity, a base on my team who is also a tumbler always recommends her Rebel Athletics Ruthless.

Does your squad not pick the shoes?i

Nifinity’s to start off then Rebel. I have Rebel Ruthless ones

I love Nfinity shoes! Varsity is also a good brand! At our gym a lot of people have the Nfinity Flyte shoes and they have held up pretty good for me though I'm not a base, I do a lot of tumbling.

The Vengeances are so popular for a reason: lightweight, breathable, and great for flying and tumbling. With that said, they do run narrow and tend to wear down faster if you're mostly cheering on hard surfaces or outdoors.

Since you’re a flyer, this is a solid choice. If you need something a little more supportive or versatile, you might also want to look into options like the Infinity Evolution or Chassé Ace II.

These are all star shoes for indoor use only. I wouldn't recommend them for football season outside

They're really more of an all star shoe. If you're doing sideline, I'd get a thicker sole. Maybe the evolution or look at varsity shoes. They have a lot of sideline focused shoes. My daughter likes flytes for all star and had to wear kickoffs for sideline. She doesn't love them, but they're the team shoe. She loves her flytes for tumbling.

What's her tumbling level? My daughter finds tumbling on dead floor and the track pretty hard on her wrists and ankles (she's an all star cheerleader also doing sideline) so if she was able to choose any shoe, she'd go with the nfinity beast. She has to wear the same as her team, though, and they're not her favorite. For all star, she uses rebel shoes, but her favorite have been nfinity flytes.

Champion is one brand you can try

check facebook marketplace! That’s where I got my backup pair of cheer shoes, and they were nowhere near as expensive as the retail price. 

hey doll!! if you don’t want to spend the full price please look on the groups on Facebook, people are always selling black cheer shoes for cheaper (unused & still in the box) Xx

I got a pair of Rebel shoes for my daughter off of poshmark for $25. They're out there! Just look around for lightly used shoes! The quality is worth it.

I'd go to Omni cheer. They have a GK for $62 and a chasse for 45. Since you aren't tumbling, these should be totally fine.

TriXstar shoes are an affordable option. They're an Australian brand that ship to multiple countries. They're quite long-lasting, and a lot of teams seem to be choosing them over the Night Flytes these days.

A big standout is the Nfinity Evolution, it is lighter yet robust, and it has a sole that gives bases great grip during stunts.

Baxinier is of really good quality, I recommend you to check it out.

nfinity beast

Nfinity

i rlly rlly love nfinity! its so breathable (its more of a flyer shoe so its thinner but i love it as a base)

Cheerleading shoes. I recommend something that supports the ankles;

Nfinities or Rebel Athletics shoes. I use the Rebel evolution shoes and the Nfinity Beasts but those are more expensive than the regular Nfinity vengeance. You can't go wrong with anything from Nfinity, Varsity is a brand a lot of Hs cheerleaders use.

In short brands I recommend:

Varsity Nfinity Rebel Athletics

Idk if you tried out yet but regular tennis shoes are fine. I wouldn’t spend a ton of money on shoes because your team might have a specific pair of shoes they want you to have if you make the team.

Champion is another brand to check out

I wrote an article about a week ago listing the top 5 cheer shoes of 2023
