I got new shoes. They're Vans. Very nice shoes. My fiance and I are considering getting a metal pad and a converter so that we can play both on the PS2 (Konamix, Max, Max2, and Japanese Extreme) and on Stepmania (1000 songs). Should be fun, plus it is cheaper than spending money in the arcade all the time. The thing is, we want to get a decent one, but we can't spend more than $150 (preferably after shipping charges). Thanks suzu and DDRFreak for the encouragement!! ^^
