90% of Jordan 4s are horribly painful. The last bred 4s I legit contemplated walking home barefoot on the streets of London because of the pain. I’m honestly scared to put on 4s as my brain associates them with pain.

I hear you bro! 4s are arguably the most aesthetically pleasing sneakers, but over the past year I’ve parted with the majority of mine (especially suede based) because they’re borderline unbearable if you walk around in em’ for more than 20 mins. Thank goodness the value of 4s have went up recently, my bank account and pinky toes thank me haha.

I’m with you on the air max 97, Jordan 4 and SB dunks. Love how they look, but not how they wear. I only put them on for quick errands or if I know I’m gonna be sitting more than walking lol.
Now how about a video of most surprisingly comfortable sneakers?
I wore my white cement 4s for the first time in a long time and it felt like I had cement blocks on my feet. It was like learning to walk again. When you finally take some 4s off its like you just released a piss you had been holding in for 4 hours. I love the look of 9s but the Baron 9s legit gave me open wounds I have not bought a 9 since.

You are 100% accurate regarding the Goretex 1s. They fit so narrow and the fabric has no give. I think I may try soaking the shoe and stretching it out while wet, to see if I can get a little more give out of them. 🤞🏾
I strongly agree with you on those Air Jordan 4 “Fire Red” being uncomfortable as hell. They remind me a lot of the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” that used a lot of that cheap leather.
1) Union 4 Off Noir. Idk why but it does something to my pinky toe that makes it so much worse than normal Jordan 4 tightness 2)Air Max 270- Something about the cushiony react in the forefront and a hard bubble in the back does not make for a smooth transition when walking. I also feel like I’m permanently slanted forward with the bubble 3) Yeezy 350s- No surprise to anyone but the sizing is all over the place. It honestly depends what year they released to be able to hone in on your correct sizing 4) Nike Huarache- Nightmare to find the correct sizing. Not bad though once you figure out what works for you 5) Air Max 720- All that bubble…hard as a rock. Visually pleasing…impossible to wear for an extended period of time. Love this type of content keep it up 🤙
You are right on the SB dunk lows being uncomfortable.
Air Force 1s are weird. They fit my ankle perfectly, the toe box is the perfect length and size, yet I felt like I was standing on a hardwood floor when I stood up at the shoe store today. Jordan 1 Low was a bit tight in the ankle, too long in the toe box, but felt really comfy when standing I in them.

Maybe you should venture outside of Nike/JB. Should try Asics (not the Gel Lyte III) but try the Kayano 14,1130, Gel Nimbus 9, Protoblast. Or even the NB Freshfoam line? Seriously your feet will thank you!
I can’t agree with the vans. I can wear mine allllll day without problems.
Telling it like it is, nice. Much appreciated
4s are wierd I think they slimed down the toe box for a few years because all my older Jordan 4s fit good 2012 fire reds, 2015 Oreos alternate 89s. Idk if it’s just the OG style 4s that have NIKE AIR on the back that have that issue but my what the 4s and the newer fire reds were super narrow in the toe .
Yep, pretty much with everyone one the 4’s. I got the bred 4s few years ago and I had to sell them cause I just couldn’t deal with how uncomfortable they were. I rarely sell sneakers but that was one of the few that had to go.
Ok, so it wasn’t just me when I tried on the Fire Red 4s. Like another user said, it’s hard to wear them because you know it’s not gonna be great. I haven’t done a deep dive into the Air Max line but the few I’ve worn were decent. I’ve noticed that the Air Max models bothered my heels after long periods of wear.
Agreed on the 550’s. I changed the insoles on mine and made it ok after that but I don’t wear em as often anymore now.

Wow yeah, glad I wasn't alone in the Jordan 4 situation. Those were so damn uncomfortable! I wore 'em like twice and sold.
Great video and a topic you won’t hear from other KZreadrs!
Eddie on the Jordan 4 "Fire red": "You need an extinguisher." Made my day, lol! But in all seriousness though, J4s really aren't that comfortable. Maybe it just depends on how you wear them, like not lacing them up and loosening the laces a bit, or wearing cushioned socks. But one thing is for sure, the toe box really hurts your toes after a while wearing them.
So true. It’s tough for me bc I’m trying to wear more of my jordans in the collection, not just displaying them, but every day I reach for my yeezys just based off unbelievable comfort.
I 💯 agree with the air max 97’s
I have those exact SB Dunk lows and my experience with the toe leather was 100% the same. They did get better, but I did have to do a few miles in them!!
My vans old skool are still practically brand new cause they squish my pinky toes so bad. Idk how so many people wear them
I’m glad someone finally said it. 550s are not comfortable. I had to switch the insole with a dr scholls insole.

Duuuude, I knew you were gonna pull out those 97s when you mentioned air max. Tried them on once in store just to get the size right, and I was like "I cannot buy these" 🤣
For me it's Jordan 1 low. I have normal feet, size eleven but I almost always get some blisters. Be it on my toe, the inside of my foot or at the rim, which scratches my lower ankle. Especially if I am wearing no show socks. I owe one pair and I am definitely not ging to owe only one pair more...

Completely agree! Finally someone said it… the air max are not comfortable. 98 is even more uncomfortable than 97’s. Doesn’t make sense. But, the Air Tuned Max retros that came out last year and this are decent.

True he is definitely giving the truth about the deep fesses of the shoe.
Sorry but I gotta disagree with the 550 being uncomfortable. I love those insoles especially if I'm used to rocking AJ1's. A silhouette I wear all the time that kills my feet are Air Force 2. They fit super snugged and I even went up half a size 🤨.
Swapped the insole on my union 4 with hefe luxx fire 🔥 comfortable it did the job With the narrow part i skipped the second hole lacing it and made the shoelaces loose Because other than that my feet would hurt by the sides of my toes

I used to love wearing Nike Cortez shoes; grew up wearing them. As an adult, I realized the sole is very narrow and the shoe doesn’t spread open very well. They just stay tight even loose and/or oversized.
J1's sock liner bites when you wear no show sock and it comes into contact with your skin.
My 2006 military blue Jordan 4s are very comfortable thank you very much
My black cat 4s are the most comfortable honestly. I think it all depends on the cut of the shoe because I recently got two pairs of the infrared 4s and one pair fits super uncomfortable(the one the I might end up selling) compared to the other one which is as comfy as my black cats
(Nike) Air Units are NO GOOD. I would like the sneaker community to admit that these are a gimmick from the 80s/90s and that a solid foam midsole is the only viable cushioning technology on the market. Your Nike Shox and Air Jordan’s and Air Maxs and Reebok Pumps and whatever else are just junk. Please, fill the Jordan 1’s midsole with React foam or BASF or a Margom sole or even welt on some leather and Dainite, IDGAF. Anything but the goofy, wacky, antiquated air bubble technology. JFC.
They definitely went left with making the toe area narrow as hell on J4s but since I’ve gone up a half size on mines it’s done me justice. All my older 4s (2018-2021)I just wore around the house a few times to break them in and they’re good now lol
I hear this hard. My true size is 13.5M, I end up constantly wearing shoes that are too small for me. If they run small too bad its normally the largest size they do already. Most of mine are a 13 which is fine for a couple of hours. But all day? Forget it.

I feel like Jordan ones are very narrow. I usually go for an 11 in forces so mit tts would be 11.5 but a jordan 1 in 11.5 still fits way to small on the side of the toebox

Just sold my Infrared 4. Love the look and hate the fit. One of the most uncomfortable shoes I ever had. After 3 miles I was considering walking bear feet 🦶. When I took shoes off, relief was almost orgasm like experience.
I disagree on the gore tex ones. They fit exactly like the leather 1s. They’re a little warmer though that’s all.
Vans- Sole is superstiff at first, but after wearing them a couple weeks and taking long walks, they mold to the feet and become pretty comfy Jordan 4 - I can wear them a few hours but then they start to hurt, feels like the upper is always squeezing your feet Jordan 1s- I can wear these all day, only the 85s require serious break in, took mine hiking up and down hills a few times and now they extremely comfortable Yeezy boosts- Can't wear em, they too soft, annoys my feet and feels like I'm sinking
AM 95s all day!
Totally agree with all of the list, except the Jordan 1 Gore-Tex. My Gore-Tex is actually my most comfortable pair of Jordan 1’s, with all of the extra padding in the collar. My 4’s are super narrow and very uncomfortable though, and I completely stopped wearing vans although because of lack of sole support.
Jordan 4 UNC
Air max 97s is facts
It hurts to agree but the most recent pair of 4’a have all had that problem. My breds, university’s, fire reds and my lightings. I can wear my cement 4s all day not not feel the pain these new 4’s give me
My most uncomfortable pair right now is the Adidas forum 84 high the pink and red rose color for some reason the right shoe is still harder break into than the left shoe was
I remember getting my first pair of Nikes in highschool finally being able to afford them and since they were a lot more expensive than Asics i thought they'd be more comortable. What and idiot. They were air maxes and i never even broke them in. Years later and i figured I'd finally try some more nikes hoping some would be better. Dunks are pretty uncomfortable, jordan 1s were a punishment, you have to get the zoom cmft kind those are actually nice otherwise jordan 1s are basically intolerable. J3s are suprisingly comfy and the 5s are decent. I love the J7s. Aside from that I'm kind of shocked at how simple gel lyte 3s still blow everything out of the water. I expected new balance 550s to be worse than Jordans but they're easily more comfortable than most nikes I've tried
Mate, my fire reds are so painful, I wore them to a shopping centre and regretted it, only wear them when going somewhere I can take them off at, so disappointing
