I jump cheap running shoes ($15 or so) that have mesh like material on the top of the nose of the shoe so that they let air through. I usually jump without socks so I can feel the air/pressure on my toes. I used to jump skateboard shoes (vans etc) but they seem to not let air through, and the sole is to big to squeez your foot in thight places. And on sunny hop n pop's I wear trusted teva's.

Thanks for the feedback So this means I could be right (or not ) in theory but to know for sure I should make some complicated calculation or measure it in some way (and im not planning on doing that ) and then there still would be too many variables to concider... so my theory seems to be pretty unusable in practice So the conclusion can only be that you should freefly with a freefly capable rig.(makes sence...) But thanks again for your replies Parachute gear garage sale at :http://www.usedparachutes.eu

Im not a rigger or instructor or anything... But couldn't it be that when your backflying your less exposed to the relative wind then when your sitflying(or headdown)? My theory is that the wind will push the bridal more towards the rig (the wind will make it stick to the back of the rig because the force is at another angle) as opposed to sitflying which will make the bridal fly away from the rig. Of course you shouldn't do stuff with your rig it isn't designed for(if it isnt designed for other uses then bellyflying you shouldn't use it for anything else then bellyflying) but I was just wondering if there could be a little truth to my theory , and if not please tell me why, thanks (I made a schematic illustration of what I mean) Parachute gear garage sale at :http://www.usedparachutes.eu
