Cheers for putting info like this out there. It's good to see an honest take on some hype sneakers after they have been worn for a while. For anyone not to worried about rocking hype sneakers, Nike make CMFRT versions of the Jordan 1's and 11's. They usually have extra foam and sometimes softer foam than the original versions and feel a bit more like a modern shoe under foot. You can usually pick them up on sale too.

Air max 97s have also always been very tight for me as I have wide feet. I have to go a full size up on them and then have to tie my laces tight and have thick socks as well. AMM 4s for me also have been extremely uncomfortable to the point that I stuffed them with paper really hard and forgot about them until I saw them in the video😂. Another bussin banger no cap on god video as always man. I’ll be in London next month, hope to meet you there.

Out of all the Jordan’s I’ve been buying, I find the 3’s and 7’s to be the most comfortable sneakers of all. It’s sad to see them not get enough recognition than they deserve.

@@ebelen1 that’s exactly the issue and no one else’s experience will help. Like for the lost n founds the fit n size are different than other 1s made around the same time- other 1s i have to go up half, these had more room in length. I just got the sb 4s n loose laced maybe tts but they are not as comfy as people hyped even at the .5 size up i went… had to put in some low profile Superfeet insoles to get a tad better. Same pinky issues i read about other 4s n i hate that elastic tongue strap but I’d be weary to cut it. I think its kinda taking away my desire to want more of any of these unless they are extremely unique like the lost n founds or SBs. Funniest part of all this is that Dunks are the ones that fit me the most comfy in regular or Sb… i think if you’re even remotely wide footed that’s where it’s at. What’s funny is that the Air Ships fit me almost the best, they are a bit wider in toe box n don’t have those added straps that bind your feet. The everyday pack in red n blue are accidentally one of my favs due to uniqueness and also standard comfort.

The Jordan 11 Pantone needs a rerelease. I’ve been wanting them for a few years now

I bought the fire red 4s when they first came out, 88 I think, very uncomfortable sold them & got some LA gears or BKs I think it was a long time ago. Nowadays I stick with my fave the Adidas Pro-models I also wear the Blazer Sb zooms very comfy & I wear both at UK 8s.Everybody has different feet hence why some ppl think that's comfy or not comfy.

Glad I'm not the only one that finds the Jordan 11 uncomfortable. The cushion setup is actually quite good, but they are definitely pinkie toe crushers. And I'd given up on Jordan 4 completely. Jordan 1 however, are excellent for me for all day wear. Perhaps because of my age, but I need more stability and firmer cushioning for long term wear, lest I get hella foot fatigue.

With Jordan's, I only wear 2 through to 8. I bought the first Chicago 1 retro in 94 and I vowed never to buy a j1 ever again. Man, the comfort was god awful. I dread to think how bad they would feel today on my 42 year old feet.😬😂

My SB drunk pro be true shoes took forever to break in even after rolling them like toothpaste though. I think the leather is thicker to give more shoe to wear down on the board.

My space jams, cherry, and cool Grey's are 10.5 and seem pretty comfortable though. I agree w high 1s and 4s w being uncomfortable especially if you wear ankle socks. Just dealt w blisters from my washed pink 1s on the heels smh.

Mate you need to buy some cheapo thin soles for your dunks, I started using some cheap thin flat soles off Amazon makes the shoe feel half a size bigger, if u notice the soles in dunks are curved on edges making the shoe feel narrower than what they are.

The WORST most pinky toe crushing shoe in my collection is the Jordan 4 midnight navy. It’s a shame because they’re beautiful.😓

I love J13 and J14 but they hurt my ankles. The J11 is comfortable to me.

How many people checked out the Rakim 33 Hi shoe? All I can say is pure money a must for the collection

I have a different perspective. I have multiple sclerosis, and I have an issue with balance. I pretty much wear jordan 1s every day because they are low to the ground and stable - basically for all the reasons you said they were uncomfortable 😂 It doesn’t work well for my balance for shoes that are extra squishy. For that reason the 1s are the most comfortable to me. All of the retro Jordans up to the 5 are pretty stable to me. Dunks are OK too. Honestly, Yeezys were the most uncomfortable to me because they threw my foot forward into the toe box with the high heel padding. I always had a gap by between my foot and the heel cup. I also did not like the way the general purpose shoes fit. The vapor max has an odd feeling too. It feels borderline unstable, and you can feel the different sections.

Thank you!!! Finally someone makes some sort of sense re those HUF dunks. Great pair but WTF is up with the sizing? They so narrow and the leather is so hard. Similar to the union passport dunks too.

For me Adidas forum are very uncomfortable. That is literally the only shoe where the side of my toes hurt, but when I go half a size up I can basically use the shoe as a boat 😂 And I don't find AF1's to be very great. The sole is too thick and hard. Jordan 1 are actually quite comfortable for me. Especially after a few wears.

Why nike doesn’t give us wide versions of all the jordans are just plain ridiculous.

I wear 1s 8+ hours a day, most days, while teaching so I’m on my feet floating around a lot. The secret: custom insoles. Get to a podiatrist and get a pair properly molded. Even at $200-300 it’s worth it, it’s saved me from plantar fascia surgery for 20 years. At the very least, stop rocking 1s and Dunks with stock insoles, upgrade them 💩s!
