This. The idea of using sneaker shields is so 2009. Damn things hurt so bad I had to throw them joints away. That was over 6 years ago. It's literally a hard piece of plastic doing a hulk smash on your toes the whole time you're walking. It's just not worth it. Also in my experience they tend to stretch out the toe box and sort of deform the natural look of the shoe. More importantly they just hurt like hell and don't feel natural when you're walking. I'm sorry I'm not willing to sacrifice comfort for the sake of preventing creases. For me it's Comfort>no creases.
this is why u go with force fields instead of sneaker shields. force fields are thin, soft foam as opposed to hard plastic so they're comfy, especially for those that like the snug fit as i do. the thing is tho, in order for them to really be comfy u def. wanna go half size up on ur shoe size. i'm ocd when it comes to creasing and once my kicks start showing a certain amount of creasing i lose all desire to wear them. i like my kicks to look fresh at ALL times.
also, over the past several years with the overall decline in gr quality, jordans have been known to crease bad after only the 1st wear. sometimes even creased out the box. for this reason, a few years ago, i half size up on my whole collection and have a pair of force fields in practically every pair. alot of members think it od, but at these prices i think it's one of the smartest things u can do to makes your kicks stay looking fresh as possible for the long haul. i have kicks i've worn 20, 30 times and they have literally no creases and still look almost look ds with the shape retained. this is literally impossible without force fields. i swear by them and absolutely will not rock my kicks without them.
i see it like this.. when dropping $200+ for kicks, what's another $10 for a pair of fields? with fields on deck, your shoes will have heel drag long before u see any substantial creasage.
