The Viper is a formal-looking marching shoe designed for a contemporary marching style. The sole, while still offering optimal grip and stability, is designed for a band that dances as much as it marches.
The twin sole provides the same heel stability as the MTX, but offers the split sole of a jazz shoe. This added flexibility offers confidence to the marcher leading toe-first just as much as to the marcher nailing an 8 to 5 on a direction change. The non-marking sole provides anti-scuff protection on floors and tarps. It has additional padding on the ankle collar to support the Achilles during all maneuvers, dance or otherwise, and a cushioned insole and heel cup for superior comfort, durability, and support.
