What is the proper big pumpkin way of attaching my sneakers to a board.

I'm new to this, but I would suggest gorilla glue or a panhead screw and washer under a padded shoe liner (Dr Scholls?) be careful of having too much board on the insole side or your attempt to reduce compaction may lead to falling onto the plants

i think don young only attached the shoes to the boards near the toes..

Yes, what ever the method, (wood screws with a small washer). Just towards the front of the the shoe. It will allow you to squat down while wearing them.

I prefer using cheap rubber crocks attached at the front with screws & washers. By using the crocks I can slip them on & off easily.

I took some bolts and bolted them right to a board. Doesnt hurt my feet at all and keeps the shoes on the board.

I agree with Paul, the cheap walmart version of Crocs work best. Here is the pair I made last year. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=133232
