1: Is Durable.
2: I have a 12 1/2 shoe so i need a pad that has a bit more space so i don't accidentally hit buttons.
3: Is very accurate
4: Is inexpensive

Im currently using the madcatz pad ( shudder ) and its accurate about 65% of the time. I would be happy with any recommendations E1.gif

I'm going to go with the BNS Ultra DX-Xteme, as I've recommended before. You can find it here:

Its as durable as any soft pad seems to be. Life span depends on how much you use them and how hard you are on them.

If you have big feet, chances are your going to accidentally hit buttons on occasion. However, I've found this happens less with the BNS pads then with the RO Ignitions. It seems you have a little more space to move around in the center with the BNS's while the ignitions are more sensitive around the edges(this gets REALLY annoying).

As accurate as any soft pad I've used. I can do ten footers on them.

50 bucks for a pad with foam inserts? Thats a really good deal in my opinion. Especially when compared to the RO ignitions which are essentially the same thing.
Here is a review comparing the BNS pad to the RO ignition: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Games/Roundups/ddrpad/4.html

If this is still too expensive, I would suggest the official konami pad that comes bundled with DDRMAX 2 USA. I think you can buy it separately for like 30 bucks. I've heard good things about it. However, I personally think its worth it to get a pad with the foam inserts. It has a MUCH nicer feel and I've just found them to be more reliable overall.

If you want a budget pad i've had 2 naki's i bought off ebay long long ago when the original was the only thing out, i had bought the game and pads that came with naki, honestly it's the only pad i've had but i've had it for almost 2 straight years of stomping and the first of two just died recently.
I don't know about the size but if you just want budget you may want to consider it.....

If you wanna play in shoes on your soft pad, I would reccomend getting the RO pad cover. It's $15 dollars and you can find it in the buy ddr section.

I concur. My BNS pad works great. I had a regular Dance Pad Revolution before, and that thing met its maker in three months. But it's been three months since I got my BNS pad and it has yet so show any sings of breaking. I expect it to work well into next year.
