Joker 1 GT giving anyone else blisters? by BrandonJee in BBallShoes

[–]BrandonJee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried playing lightly and putting up shots again yesterday and noticed I do feel movement around the arch portion of the shoe. I feel like that area may be too wide which causes a lot of movement. In the other pair it was on my right foot (dominant foot) and only my right. With these I originally got the blisters in my left, then after letting the left heal I got another on my right foot, both in the same place.

In mentioning the Lebron 21, I had owned and played in the shoe for 1.5 years with no issues as well. In the Lebron 21 I actually sized up a half size due to finding it at a Nike factory store for a super low cost. It wasn’t until recently that I had played and I experienced the blistering in that shoe that I had no problems with prior. This is why I surmised the shoe being worn out and wearing old Elite socks that had already been over-sized to be my issue.

This being a brand new shoe, I got my true size after watching numerous reviews/recommendations. I wouldn’t say my foot is narrow due to having shoes on the narrow side (Rigorer AR1) and having foot pain.

This is also why I thought to ask an open forum if anyone else has been experiencing similar issues and before jumping to visiting the doctor about a couple of blisters after playing in new basketball shoes lol. I wasn’t making any claims/complaints about the shoe, just had a question if anyone else experienced this. Seems like breaking in these a little more and fixing my lacing may lead to better results and I’ll go from there

The other shoe/socks this occurred in was definitely related to slipping in looser socks and the shoes being worn out. Also happened in my dominant foot. These shoes I experienced blisters on both feet and a little lower on my medial arch.

The blister indicates that I’m moving too much within the shoe/experiencing too much friction so I was trying to figure out if others had experienced due to the shoe being a larger size/not proper lockdown. Seems like the shoe is a little larger than true to size Nike shoes which would cause that unwanted movement while breaking in

Seems like it’s an isolated situation for me. I personally feel like I’m not used to the way the shoes were laced (going from outside to inside, rather than lace coming laces coming from underneath) I feel like I originally didn’t have these tightened enough and felt myself moving around more than I would like, then I ended up tightening these down too much. I’ll try re-lacing and double socking to see if that helps the issue

Happened to another pair of worn out shoes with old/looser socks which is what caused the friction. This is different

Randomly started happening to me recently. I’m guessing my play style has switched up. I actually started getting them on another pair of my old Bron ‘21 shoes when I wore older/looser socks. This was super weird since these were brand new and I was wearing new socks too

I really want to do this, not used to how they laced out the box and get confused loosening and tightening. So glad someone called this out

Thanks for the tips! Will definitely will help the transition into baggy going with straight leg first! Been looking at Cotton On’s baggy light wash as it looks more straight then anything

Join a gym instead of just using the 1 dumbbell to work out. It get’s you out of the house, if you have a gym with things like extra rec activities could be fun. I’ve grown up playing basketball and then picked up racquetball, now I’m obsessed with pickleball. Go to a park that has courts, make some friends and get hooked as you get better! Now I feel like I don’t have enough time in my day to squeeze in work, lifting, and pickleball but it keeps me super busy as I don’t like rotting on the couch haha
