I feel that wearing Nike Air Max's are the best, supportive yet not too stiff, and comfortable. Dont see how some people wear boots, plus when youre doing crazy moves it presents a tripping hazard when your wearing big clown boots.

If the rig is pulling away from you, maybe adjust your socket block. When the rig is heavier, its easier to keep it level. I don't think body weight affects your shot unless you become fatigued from being out of shape. I feel that the stronger your leg muscles are, the easier it is to walk with heavy rigs so you can concentrate more on the shot then your legs hurting.
