Honestly, I just want to say thank you for all that you've been providing for the shoe community, and to those like me who have ankle/foot issues. I was in the Army and I had tons of issues with my feet and ankles over the duration of 5 years. I tore my ATL ligament in my left foot several times in service, and throughout that time I've suffered many severe ankle/foot sprains. Not only the pain that I go through, but every so often it's like my foot just seems weak. I try to implement different things such as different ankle braces, orthotics', and I've tried different stretches and recovery methods. Not a lot works, but even though my doctors know about this situation I want to avoid surgery incase it causes permanent damage. I have found that watching your videos I have learned so much more about the shoes that are out there that could potentially help me by simply watching your videos. I enjoy all the content, knowledge, examples, and break down of all the technology. My successes in avoiding hurting my ankle more has all come from watching and learning from you, for that I am grateful. However, I wish you could do a single video explaining ATL ligament damage, how to avoid it better, how to help heal it more, and what shoes you'd recommend for a guy like me with this issue. I'm, 5'10", 225, and I nearly have flat feet with a minor/average arch. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you Doctor Zach, and may God bless you with all that you do.

I look forward to your reviews more than any other reviewer these days. Keep up the great work. Love the technical/scientific info.

Best basketball shoe I’ve played in, I think, EVER! The comfort right out of the box is amazing, the ample space in the toe box is a thing of beauty, cushioning, lock down, everything, I really have no complaints. So good I bought another pair to keep stashed cause when you find something this good you gotta have back up

​@@RXCristopherThat's the thing Zach didn't seem to mention in his so positive review. Almost all reviewers of the Dame 8s have agreed that traction on dusty and outdoor courts is an issue. The toe box is also really narrow and long.

Dame 8 is a great shoe, and your advice to go down half a size for narrow feet was perfect. I play in DonJoy POD ankle braces and the rear of the brace just clears the amazing achilles pad in these shoes. Together, they are treating my feet and ankles really well. Great, great shoe, thinking of getting a backup pair. Thanks for the amazing reviews. Keep it up!

Would love to know your opinion on boxing boots, ankle protection etc...

Just got a pair of these on sale online for less than $50. I normally wear 11 but these seem just a tad bit long, just a smidge over thumb length between toe and end of shoe and the bend it creates in them bugs me. Suggestions to close the gap? Will the move insoles push my heel forward any where it’s not as noticeable?

Hi doctor, would you recommend it for heel pain, like plantar fascitis (versus Harden vol. 6)? Thanks in advance!

Awesome review! 👍👍

I just bought these because of your recommendation and I gotta say, you were just spot on!

Wich Is best for the same price: Dame 8 or Stepback 3? Help!

is this true to size? or snufit? like kyrie 7s?

My concern about this shoe is how high the heel to forefoot drop is. Do you recommend lower drop shoes over the Dame 8 or do you think it would matter that much?

It would be pretty cool if you reviewed the new Move insoles, Dame is a big advocate of them!

I just bought the red and white colorway. Feels great for my wide feet.

Dame 8, harden 6 or trae young 1?

Is it good for outdoor?

Great review! Just curious tho, if you have to pick 1 low basketball shoe to play tennis on hardcourt, which one would it be (one with good lateral support, outsole durability & traction)? Playing both sport and I don't wanna spend too much on shoes as I already spend quite a lot on running shoes as well.. Cheers!

I honestly wouldn’t but probably the LeBron 18 low would be the first one that springs to mind but durability will be terrible compared to a tennis shoe so I’d prob find two budget models vs just getting one flagship for both

I just bought these yesterday as my first hooping shoes. My dad thinks they are so nice, that I should wear them to school to show off. I got them at a Footlocker on a discount for 80 euros, on my trip to Paris. The trip was really expensive, I thought I was going to go bankrupt after buying them. Whatever the performance stats are, they are my first and I like them. I got them protected, so I think that makes up for the damage weakness. I have practice tomorrow, so I'm going to test them. I was also wondering, if they are only for indoor or outdoor courts, or are they universal?

Surprised that Zach as a wide footer is so happy about it. The Dame 8 have a very long and sharp toe box that easily squeezes ones toes even on both sides as a wide footer. If you size up, the toe box gets even longer and if you size down, the toes get even more squeezed.
