    lol....u would have to change the WHOLE midsole....not the insole... but if u are looking for a info to make up for the foam, get some flightposites or someSB's

    haha an SB insole would 'take care' of the heel area.. and if you can drop +175 for an insole, spread the wealth my way..haha [​IMG]

    Yeah I think my Blk colorway has bottomed out as well....

    I was playing ball in them about 2 weeks ago and when I landed from going up for a rebound it felt as if I was playing barefoot....my foot hit the ground andthe pain was unbelievable.

    Nice shoe while it lasted.

    Yessir, Speco Cross-Training insoles. They really help with the forefoot of the Hyperdunk. But the heel does feel a tad think once those are in.

    I think the Sof-Sole Athlete insole would be great as well.

    I use the spenco insoles for every basketball shoe and some casual shoes. mostly for cushioning but also because I'm between sizes 11.5 and 12. Alwaysrecommend those cause regular insoles are cheap and flimsy in most shoes.

    sounds kinda wrong but... order the FPs from NDC and swap out the insoles then return [​IMG] - or buy a cheap pair of SB veronas for $25 at active

    now you've got me worried to play. I guess I'll use the HDs as sparingly as possible until this happens

    I use the all black HDs for work. I'm a fedex courier. So I'm hitting the pavement every day for hours and I feel absolutely nothing in the forefootanymore. They were awesome while they lasted. One of the few shoes that i could wear the entire day at work and not feel it at the end of the day. But I weighabout 230 and am working 10 hours a day 5 days a week. so i guess my schedule would murder any shoe.

    Mine bottomed out, too. Took me a basically three weeks to realize, after I figured out the achilles tendonitis I had developed was from the shoes.

    Did some physio, threw in a Spenco Cross Trainer insole, and they were great. Except now, the heel where the two foam pieces meet on the instep separated, andthe zoom air bag is exposed. The seam then ripped up along the bottom of the shoe to separate one edge of the carbon fibre. I'll try and post pics thisweekend, but these are officially retired.

    ^Yeah, I don't have a pair of HD's yet, but after reading all these stories about the foam collapsing, I think I'd be better off sticking to kicksthat use zoom air instead.

    Lunar Foam = The Choice of a duped Generation.

    Apparently either product testing isn't what it used to be... or Nike didn't want to waste the millions they spent on development...

    I have to say the first choice. It isn't like Nike to cheat its' customer..... [​IMG]
