>mfw /parkour/ general died out after months of sluggish activity

Serves you pretentious pseudo-intellectual shitters right.

As for your question..

There's a fuckload of Parkour tutorials on Youtube, some good, some crap with background dubstep. Look around for footwear tips. 4chan is for crapping on your own hobbies and getting mad at unknowns on the Internet, not for productive endeavors.

You can use any shoes.
You can use sneakers if you like, maybe minimalist sneakers, you could wear work boots, combat boots, high heels (not recommended).

You might want to refrain from wearing boots until you've got good technique, so you don't rely on the boots and compromise good technique.

You could even go bare foot, but be aware of the dangers, especially with unconditioned feet.

I like Feiyues. They wear out fast as shit if you use them for parkour, but they're incredibly light and mobile, yet still grippy.

>>876327
For starting you want thinner shoes such as feyues or dunlop volleys, avoid excessively fat shoes. these help give you good technique because pain is a good teacher.
Adistar racers are good, as are onisuka tigers. good shoes have good grip, are fairly lightweight and the heel isn't phat as fuck.

This guides a bit outdated but still ok for beginners
