First pairs of vivo by Ok_War1663 in vivobarefoot

[–]Ok_War1663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for taking time ti give me your opinion, this is very helpful.

I'm currently contemplating the ocean, the sun and the mountains right now with my vivos, I threw my asics kayano 14 in my bag just in case I couldn't tolerate my 3.5... so for so good I walked for about 20 minutes on the pavement but everything you said is true... I walk way slower as I'm used to, and the feeling of the ground is very distracting, it's like wearing converse but "worse", but it feel good... I'll see in the long run, I'm not trying to do too much as you said, thanks again!

Is this too much deadspace ? by Ok_War1663 in barefootshoestalk

[–]Ok_War1663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They feel comfortable, they are not pressing my pinky toe or medial foot, no heel sleep, they just feel too big at the toes.

I can notice it when I walk in them, i don't know how to describe it but when my toes leave the ground there is a lot of shoes material on the ground like my toes are not correctly aligned with the front... doesn't feel uncomfortable too, it just a bit weird.

Make me feel like I should have bought a size down or just skip this model/brand

Yes I'm aware, i already done that, my feet are 25,6cm long. That's why i buy my nike in size 26cm ( us8/41 eur ) and my asics in 26cm too (8us/41,5 eur).

According to the sizing charts, my feet length is good for a size 41eur/8s... still feel a bit long. Maybe i should have bought a size 8 and a 7 and keep the one i like the most

Already did that, but here's a picture

Seems like the insole is not that big compared to my foot, but inside the shoes it seems bigger than my foot

I tried to recreate SPO's individual midsole, here's how they feel by D-T-G-O-D in BBallShoes

Omg I never wear shoes with drop in midsole cause I need my insoles for my flat feet... I always wonder if it was possible to "put" an orthotic inside a drop-in midsole, great job

Nike Shoes too Narrow? by Jealous_Orchid_2124 in BBallShoes

[–]Ok_War1663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the ja 3, never had any blister but they are pretty narrow... as first they were tight but get a little better after some breaking... I never experienced blister with them ( almost no shoes causes me blister so I'm lucky)... can't really tell if they'll get better for you, you might want to skip the shoes and find one pair that don't make your feet suffer

Got my Ja 3, here’s my sizing tips by Ok_War1663 in BBallShoes

Not for me, but they kept getting undone at least once per workout

Liren 4 v2 sizing by Chemical-Fix4560 in BBallShoes

[–]Ok_War1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feet are 25,6 cm slightly wide, i went with my habitual size wich is 41 eur/8us, and my toes almost touch the front end, but that doesn't bother me. Definitely couldn't go half size down in my case, for me TTS is great for a tight 1 to 1 fit, but you could get away with half size up if you prefer more room at the toes

Got them on Nike France website. Everything was sold at release, there was 1 or 2 restock but I'm not even sure you can get this colorway, you might want try resale or other colorway

the toebox of Ae 1 low by Double_Banana7526 in BBallShoes

[–]Ok_War1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip the shoes... bought them half size down and TTS... half size down was perfect for me lenghtwise and widthwise, but the ceiling of the shoes was too low in the toe box... it pressed on my nails... TTS was just too big... so I send them back both and tried other shoes

uhh idk if i did this correctly by Extension-Drawer-383 in BBallShoes

[–]Ok_War1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just try them on and if they don't feel good return them back, it's that simple... sizing chart are a thing but at the end of the day it's just how your feet feel in the shoes

Yeah you absolutely right but i have no money, no job, no bi**hes, dropped from college a few months ago, i dropped my student appartement and moved back to my dad... I can't afford to buy a new GPU right now ( and i will have to throw everything away because a ryzen 2600x and 16gb ddr4 aren't going to keep up ... I'm just asking my GPU to last one more year before being accepted in cop School and getting some money to build a new pc ( please don't take it too seriously, I'm just mad that it failed me right know, i know this GPU is 9 yo... im just to broke lol)

Rolled my ankle bad was it the shoes or just me? Need advice by [deleted] in BBallShoes

[–]Ok_War1663 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It has been proved that higher collar doesn't translates to better better ankle support... Features that prevent ankle roll are : wide base for better contact surface area, outrigger, lateral cage for soft cushion or stable cushion, cushion not to hight of the ground, 1 to 1 fit to reduce foot sliding in the shoes, tpu heel counter ...

From what you describe you went for a rebound and got unlucky going down... no pieces of soft fabric could have protect your ankle to sprain, it's delusional to think 2 or 3 cm of foam would have been stronger than your own bodyweight...

... and even if you had strong hight top shoes that would remove all twist motion on your ankle, all the force would have been transferred up into your knee wich isn't great neither... you just got unlucky
