I'm going with an AT4040...the proximity effect is great, and it can even handle screaches pretty well... :D
 
When will it ever end...

How many times does it have to be said?

If you have good shoes and good talent, you could use a 57 and it'll sound good.
If the source sux...well, you know the rest.

Don't sweat the details!
 
Haw can you guys even have a serious discussion about this?!?!?!?!

Its the fucking SP B1 - hands down - no contest - go kill yourself!!!

Jeeeeessus! Buncha fuckin amateurs!!!!(and not the hot teenage internet porn kind).

For the money - There is no better suited more flexible dynamically versatile shoe recording mic around.
None I tell you.
Ive been recording shoes for 17 and a half years - and this one is THE winner.
The mutha fuckin B1.
