I've taken insoles out of several j's that I copped that were too small, I wear a 11.5-12 and it works with sz 11s, your feet kinda get used to it, theonly annoying part sometimes is those strings that are usually up under the insole that you can feel. A friend of mine who had to do the same thing made someinsoles out of a thin felt material and he says they feel fine like that

Dude thats sounds terribly dramatic, you sure you don't have wide feet or something. My 11's were a little "uncomfortable" maybe the firsttwo times I wore them, they hardly tore up my feet. If you're serious and tore out the insoles I feel bad for you because if you read the forum at all youwould know that you have to BREAK THEM IN. I've worn mine probably 10 times I guess and they feel fine, a lot more comfortable than some of the othercountdown shoes.

of people trashing these shoes.

For as many XI's that I have worn, casually or for ball, I have never thought that they were super-comfortable. For cushion and support they have alwaysbeen sub-par for me.
I have yet to break out the CDP XI"s, but from this post I am not looking forward to wearing them any time soon.

most shoes hurt the first time you wear them. thus the term 'break in period'
but whatever works for you

damn, i wear 9.5s for ball but hearing that theyre smaller in size and are uncomfortable makes me think twice now... SMH

I also prefer a 9.5 to ball, but a 10 casually (usually). My 12's (in a 9.5) feel great and I have worn them in a game. My 11's are probably too tight,I would in all likely-hood wear them with some NBA socks to stretch them out and then wear them with some regular socks every time after that.

People this is the only way I can wear them, Key word I. the 12's fit perfect, I don't have a clue why jb would make these smaller, maybe its thepatent leather, i don't know. But under the insole there is more soft stuff, not the hard stuff thats usually under there so it feels fine to me.

I'm probably the last to complain about the quality and negatives of recent Jordans-- but these do run uncomfortably narrow-- to the point where there wassome pain in my toes. My size 8.5 runs MUCH narrower and the material is uncomfortable and stiff compared to the recent DMP XI's (I don't have anyother retro or OG XI's to compare them to). Maybe I'll try taking the insoles out next time I wear them and see how they feel-- thanks for the info.

I think we all know that we have to BREAK IN SHOES. That has nothing to do with JB making the shoe smaller than the size it is supposed to be. Ihave not had this problem with any other shoe to this extreme. Sure not all shoes fit true to size some big some small but not to where it feels like youtotaly bought the wrong size.

I just tried taking out my insoles! and it made a big difference a little less soft on the bottom of the foot! but much better in the toe box. They fit perfectnow!
