Do you practically relearn how to steer with each new/different pair of shoes?

I find riding with diving fins quite challenging but riding on stilts with roller skates on is really tough. Add a slack rope and a pair of shorts full of bees and you are really on to something.

Don't forget the blindfold and straigh jacket, more of an annoyance than anything else but still makes things challenging

I had an issue when I swapped from a multi-terra style shoe to the hiking boots I use now. The hiking boots have a much thicker sole which meant that I had slightly less "feedback" from the pedals. Was tricky getting used to them at first, took a couple of rides.
