04/15/2004 |  This shoe is awesome. What caught my attention at first was the look of it, very unusual, I had not seen another shoe like it. The place I saw it at did not have my size so I had to go to another store to try it on. I tried on one shoe, walked in it and decided to buy them right then and there, that is how comfortable the shoe is.To me it feels like those old snow boots with a fixed rubber sole and foam tops in terms of comfort. But of course the support is on par with that of a good pair of boots, it is simply incredible. The traction is spot on. The more I wear it, the more I like it. The only draw back is putting them on, it can be somewhat difficult, but once they are on, they are so nice! Plus I can really feel the air flow through the shoe cooling my feet. I can't understand the compliants about it not being comfortable or what it does to ankles other than it is possible they did not have the shoes on correctly, meaning having the padding pulled up over the plastic fully. As for traction, this shoe was designed for guards, lightweight and stability needed for speed, agility and explosiveness along with quick stops and quick changes of direction. It is not for big guys battling under the basket. If you are an athlete with serious speed and agility attributes, this is the basketball shoe for you. If you are a big guy with more weight and don't use extreme speed, quickness and agility, then you'll probably want to go with something a bit more traditional in a basketball shoe. These shoes also make great all around walking shoes, I even wear the black on blacks as my work shoes as a professional in an office, they can pass as black leather dress shoes when worn with pants. I have many pairs of shoes and boots, but I like these so much I bought 5 pair(various colors) and wear them the most. Break in of them is nearly instantaneous as well, though with more time wearing them they seem to mold to the foot perfectly, and they do become easier to put on. Get them while you can, they wee only made for one year and are becoming very hard to find.

10/02/2003 | this is a good shoe but it could be better. it has good ankle support (4 out of 5), decent traction (3 out of 5), bad comfort (2 out of 5), its cushioning isnt that good either (3 out of 5), i'd say it has an overall raing of about 3.5. it is definitely a very light shoe (13 oz.), but the harm it did to the back of my ankles with blisters and such really turned me off.
