Is tighter shoes better for jumping?

[chineseballer23]

I don't know but I am pretty lazy about the tightness of my shoe. I usually just slip it on and play. Would making your shoes very tight on your feet help you jump higher?

i have that problem with my shoes, well the pair that i wear to school for playing ball. they're quite bashed, but they're a lil big, so unless i tie my shoelaces really tight, my feet are slippin around in my shoes =p

but then again too tight, and your blood aint gonna flow through to your feet. hahaha.

Yeh man, Tighter is better, Plus you dont want hella bad ankle injuries from havin loose shoes, aka, my right ankle has never been the same after i tore the ligament about a year and a half ago, wearin loose skate shoes (even if i was skating, if u land funny and have no support its more likely to injure ya)
