Just picked up a pair of Homes @ Foot Action... I wasn't able to use the March Madness discount coupon but the Manager there was nice enough to use one of their own Key Code to match the $30 off. Now just gotta find some yellow laces... and bite off GZA

Still play with college age guys & most nights I am the oldest guy out there. I have a moderate case of plantar fasciitis in my right foot, but it doesn't stop me from playing. My current bb shoe rotation has the Kobe IVs(2 pair), Lebron VI, Air III (KGs), 2k5s, Zoom BBs and AJ XIIs.
Anyways, like I said, I wore the Vs tonight and HATED them. The narrowness of the arch part of the sole really hurt my foot. I felt my fasciitis acting up with every step. Don't get me wrong, the Vs cushioning is great, and they look, but I was greatly disappointed (and sad!) in how they felt on my feet. And now the top of my foot is sore too. There is no way I will wear them again, and I hope I can return them. This also cancels my plans to get other colorways.
Has anyone else had a negative experience balling in the Vs? And please... keep the smartass answers or dumb comments about me or my game to a minimum, I just want to know if I'm the only one.(and I know there is a review post) It breaks my heart that these didn't work out for me.
I really don't think you're giving the shoe a fair chance. I had a similar problem at first but once broken in after 4 wearings it's a TOTALLY different shoe IMO. You can't just give up on a shoe after one wearing. What makes you think you can return a used pair of shoes? That's not fair to the retailer.

I agree with the analysis that you may want to wear these 3-5 times before ultimately determining they are not for you. I had some discomfort/foot fasciatis(sp?) issues with these the first wear or two,but the way that they felt in terms of "connectivity" to the basketball floor was undeniable. Much better than the 4s in my opinion, which I believe do run slightly wider through the arch as well as the whole shoe. I think the 5 is more locked down than the 4 when fully laced, but I also think that it results in it being more responsive and being able to navigate easier/tighter around the court. Honestly, I know this may sound ridiculous, but I felt like my traction and ability to cut/start/stop was slightly improved in the 5- moreso than any other hoops shoe I have tried recently. After the second wear or so, my feet felt far less pain or discomfort than the first time around, and now that they are "broken-in" I have no issues. I have played in the DKs, BLs, just for reference purposes. The ASGs may be next. As for the returning to owner/retailer, thats entirely up to who you bought them from I suppose. I don't know about hoops shoes, but my wife runs, and the place she buys her running shoes will allow returns within a reasonable time period if in fact the shoe is causing pain/discomfort/not working for you. Every place is different though with their policies. Can't hurt to try can it?Originally Posted by Crazy EBW

For me, they just ask to see my FL coupon and VIP card, then they just entered there own FA code, and I walked outta there with my Aways 109.75
I guess it depends what FA you go to, I asked if the Homes were excluded, the girl there said she didnt think so.

This weekend might be too late to get them Aways... They have very limited sizes as of today. I know the Foot Locker, Foot Action, and Shiekhs in the Glendale Galleria did not have a size 11 when I went there earlier this evening. I jumped on my 2nd pair of Aways when I found out my buddy works for Sport Chalet and he gets 25% off anything and everything.
