I started using my new Wii Monday and I'm having a blast with it. Does any one know if it's OK to wear shoes with it? I have bad feet and ankles and although I love doing the exercises my feet are really starting to hurt.

    Are you talking about with the Balance Board? If so I use mine wearing shoes all the time and it doesn't seem to be hurting the board at all. :)

    i think you are actually supposed to wear shoes with it, because you need support for your feet and ankles while jogging and doing other activities. i have to confess i do it alot without shoes too, but i dont think its good for you, im gonna get some running shoes too.

    Sometimes I wear shoes, sometimes I don't. Just depends on what I am doing! Enjoy, I love my wii.

    I also have the Wii, and have exercised with it. Unfortunately, I never wore shoes while exercising. I am now suffering with a sore left ankle. I wish you luck in your decision.

    Yes, I always wear shoes on the wii. It cushions the impact when running.

    Thank you for all the responses, I am for sure going to wear shoes now. I really have fun doing the Wii but definetely need the foot and ankle support.
