A person must keep his/her mesorah.

My minhag is the band my hand. Joining the feet stompers is not so poshut. If you read the other threads you will see how complex it is to join Chabad, join Litvish, join Sefardim – now you say I should join the Feet Stompers?! Hand Bangers should stay with their mesorah and not seek to join Feet Stompers!

The mitzvah is done respectfully by Hand Banging!

The Feet Stompers are mevazah the mitzvah by using their feet!

Many Gedolei Yisroel have denounced the Feet Stompers and don’t consider them as part of Klal Yisroel.

Stomp out the Feet Stompers!!
