thanks for the detailed review my good man!
The opening of the KD9's broke in a little bit making them easier to access after a week or two, maybe that will happen here. New shoes are always stiffer too. We can hope.@dwoodactennis This is like the worst dream coming true for the LeBron 14
I would agree the IV's are a half size big, but I guess with older Brons I'm not really hooping in them anymore so my desired fit in the newer models varies slightly from older models. The list I gave was merely what I typically wear in most models, that said, I'm sure I could go up or down a half size in some of them. But for me, I have extremely narrow feet, so sometimes I would compromise length to get a better width, like the 8's and 9's, I probably need a 10 length wise, but I go down to a 9.5 for a better fit width wise. For me the XII was decent length wise, but the XIII was extremely long in my opinion. Like I said, people may have a different fit/feel based upon their foot shape and preference for fit, just giving you my opinion, and was using the comparison of the XIII's since that's the most recent sig. I guess with the XIV's I just assumed since they are a one piece construction essentially, they might be snug, but was surprised how much room was actually there once the foot is in. I think most will like that space compared to his recent shoes.
Saving that for my update.
I have narrow feet as well, and I completely agree about compromising length for a better width. I have Lebrons from IX - XII, all TTS, and the while X-XII fit well, the IX fits a little short, like I could have went a .5 size up. The crazy thing is, I only have the swingman and dunkman IXs, and IMO the swingmans feel shorter in length than the dunkmans.

Thanks man.Dwood did not disappoint with the review, good read
Is there ample amount of padding on the interior of the heel? KD9 had the right amount so no Achilles rubbing or discomfort.
Did the strap give off a godly feel on free throws at least since it doesn't seem to really do much? * you don't have to answer this as it's an old reference haha
You are right, there has definitely been sizing discrepancies amongst colorways over the years within the same model. I remember it in the XI's as well.
