What shoes just didn't work for you?

[shaft]

Everyone has different taste, but what if you love a shoe and it doesn't work for you...?

I love the Flight 89...I was a sophmore in HS when they came out. I bought a size 12 and they didn't fit right. The shoe pinched at the toebox. Backthen they didn't make a 12.5, so a 13 was out of the question. Fast forward to retro and they STILL pinch, even the 12.5.

Anyone have that problem with a style of shoe...?

Zoom Kobe 2. Both versions. The strengths and the sheaths just tore up my toes. Thought it would just get better the more I played but after 1 year I gave upon them.

The Zoom Flight 2K3's and Ultraflights...2K3's cut at my ankles badly and the Ultraflights were too much of a @$%#@ to put on.

The Air Max Uptempo 3...the soles used some wierd circular traction pattern instead of herringbone, and the shoes just slid all over the place.

Zoom BB. I could lace them up all the way to the top hole, and they still feel unstable, like the outsole isn't wide enough for my foot.

I went through hell before the XX3's finally felt right. At first it felt like I was wearing high heels, and I was getting blisters on top of my foot.They're pretty good now that they're worn in.

The Lebron II's never worked for me. They always felt like a tank on my foot and the traction was so-so. Not to mention how much they pinched.

Jordan IV's pinch a lot

Melo V.5 lows kept falling off me the material on the inside of the shoe was to slippy and i had to always lace them real tight to the point of beinguncomfortable when playing ball in them.

That's the thing...although the 89 were no good the IV were perfect. Just one of those things in design...at least in my case.
