Basketball Shoes for wide or flat feet?
I%26#039;m a huge bball fan, i always go with AND 1 or nike (i have normal feet ) however i find than nike often have shoes that are too wide for me so i%26#039;d probs be looking into them. Probs go with air max - although they%26#039;re a bit old now... they%26#039;re still cool

Need new basketball shoes. liked the reebok pumps, any new ones like that?

I%26#039;m looking for new basketball shoes. I liked the extra support from the air pumps on the shoes, but they%26#039;re pretty worn out, and I want a different pair. Probably with the pump. Any ideas for these shoes?

Need new basketball shoes. liked the reebok pumps, any new ones like that?
Your best bet is to go a sporting goods store with a good variety of shoes. You can both try them on and see what you like at the same time.





If you get really lucky, you might get a knowledgeable employee that can you the pros and cons of each.





Good luck.

How to buy basketball shoes?

The size 12 old Wade playoff shoe fit me fine. I bought the new Wade 2.0 basketball shoe size 12 and I have serious trouble using my legs to propel my shot into the basket. My heel seems to slip and the shoes fit loosely unlike my old Wades. Are the shoes too big? Do I have to break into them?

Basketball shoes or football cleats on turf field???

we have a game tommorow on a turf field so should i use my reggie bush cleats or should use my black allen iverson basketball shoes.

Basketball shoes or football cleats on turf field???
take both pairs , if the turf is hard u dont want to use the cleats because you could break your ankles . Use the basketball shoes if the turf is hard you will slip and slide, but if you want to prevent the injury use the basketball shoes.
Reply:If possible use your cleats but this all depends on the feild if its realy soft then use cleats but if its firm use your Basketball shoes or buy turf shoes.
Reply:you want a true turf shoe for this, however the basketball shoe will work the same it juss has a smooth bottom rather than the gritty bottom of a turf shoe
Reply:Something similar to rubber-spiked golf shoes would be my choice.
Reply:i%26#039;d wear the cleats if it was good realistic turf.

I want this particular pair of basketball shoes from East Bay and they are a kids%26#039; size 7. Is that the same thing as a mens size 7?!?! please respond ASAP because i need to order them and i dont want to order the wrong size!!!

Basketball shoes sizing question!!?
Those 7%26#039;s are not the same. If you wear a girl%26#039;s 8.5, get a men%26#039;s size 7. If you wear a girl%26#039;s 7, get boy%26#039;s 5.5. It is a size and a half difference.

Go for the Air Jordan III, they have black %26amp; red, and they are also good hooping shoes for a small forward (Trust me, I played that position, and those shoes work...)
Reply:ok to tell you more i would need to know if your foot is wide, or narrow. And do you like arch in your shoe or not...here are some diff. options


Narrow or Wide foot i would to w/ the nike Lethals. I wear them, and i like arch in my shoe, and it works perfect. I would not recommend Rebbock just because of past experiences. If you prefer no arch i would reccomend DADA. They are very reasonable priced. So put up some more info but overall i would reccomend Nike shox/lethals

What kind of basketball shoes have the best grip?
Nike Impax Dime shoes are good basketball shoes. I have them, and they can go through the worst abues without being destroyed. They have good grip, and don%26#039;t wear down too easily. They absorb impact well, and they are quite comfy. You don%26#039;t have to worry about using a waterproof coating or anything over them. They cost $50. You can just google it, and you%26#039;ll find them websites like Footlocker and Eastbay that sell them in different colors you might like. I personally think these 2 shoes look the best:

Recently i ordered a pair of Jordan basketball shoes from footlocker and they were supposed to arrive in 5-10 bussiness days but they didn%26#039;t so i called and they said they were very sorry but they didnt have my size and they forgot to call and tell me, I%26#039;m not exactly sure what she said but she did mention some discount.

How do you prevent stinky basketball shoes?

Throughout the use of my previous pair of basketball shoes, I%26#039;ve noticed a strong odor seeping from the shoes. Every time I put on the shoes, I would have to wash my fingers because of the lingering scent.





I%26#039;ve recently bought a new pair of basketball shoes and I was hoping to prevent the smelliness this time around. Any hints?





I%26#039;ve been told that since I wear low cut socks, the sweat from my feet/legs can still be absorbed by the fabrics of my shoes. As a result, would wearing higher cut socks necessarily help?

How do you prevent stinky basketball shoes?
What up Kevin C,





i think you need to get some %26quot;odor eaters%26quot;. That%26#039;s probably the best solution. Higher cut socks still does not prevent the shoe from absorbing sweat. i would get some odor eaters and just put them in your shoes.





Hope that helps. Kindly,





Nickster
Reply:There are a number of things you can do to prevent this, as other users have suggested try Odor Eaters or you could go for something more old fashioned like Bi-Carb sodor. I%26#039;m sure that there a whole aisle dedicated to things like this in a supermarket so it shouldn%26#039;t be hard to prevent the smell.
Reply:odor eaters, foot powder, air your shoes out at night, air your feet out as much as possible and have your feet checked you may have athletes foot.
Reply:Definetely after you take them off put them outside to air out till the next time you put them on
Reply:wear thick socks

What are good basketball shoes to buy?

I%26#039;m looking for really cool basketball shoes to buy. I want to buy an NBA Star%26#039;s shoes but I have not decided yet. I want you to tell me as many cool basketball shoes that i can buy as possible. I want them to be as cheap as possible but they have to look good at the same time.

What are good basketball shoes to buy?
All right, here%26#039;s the truth. If people tell you that Jordans are good for basketball, it%26#039;s not really true. Really, they look good to walk around in; they%26#039;re not exactly great for games, mainly because you%26#039;re worried about messing up your $175 shoe. Honestly, the best shoes I have ever worn to play in a game is the Huarache 2K4 and 2K5. It had great ankle support, and the form of the shoe was very comfortable, and it%26#039;s really hard to find a comfortable shoe for me. If you want to pick the one that just plain looks better, then go with the 2K5; it looks just fine. The only problem is finding a four year old shoe. Luckily, Nike just re-released them. You could check out Eastbay and NikeID; I recently saw a funky snake-skin version of the 2K4. They also released the lasered 2004 Kobe %26quot;Championship%26quot; design last year.
Reply:mainly, you should look for shoes that are comfortable and support both your arches and ankles. don%26#039;t buy any low top shoes unless you get ur ankles taped or have braces. nike is a really good brand for basketball shoes as well as and one and adidas. for the cheapest prices in shoes, you just have to look around for the best prices. as for the best in style, that%26#039;s open to anybody%26#039;s opinion. here%26#039;s a link to foot locker%26#039;s website: http://www.footlocker.com/catalog/models...
Reply:for me...i always buy nike%26#039;s and air jordans...since i jump a lot in basketball...i make sure the shoes i buy are lightweight (mid-cuts for me)...but whatever is comfortable on you will do.

You can also look at what the NBA players wear on the court.. so you can wear the same thing..

Best basketball shoes?

I%26#039;m thinking of getting a new pair of basketball shoes.


I want a pair that could improve my game and I%26#039;m playing at guard or small forward.





Do you have any suggestions of shoes that might be good?

Best basketball shoes?
I think you have to visit the store and try on a few models for yourself... feel the shoe, walk around with them on. ... coz what suits me may not suit you. My personal opinion is to get the older models, like the previous season high-ends at discounted prices. Then after a couple of months of hoops and wear and tear, get another new pair.
Reply:I would get as high shoe as possible to give stability. If you need wide fits, New Balance has different widths, and are very comfortable. Next, I think Reeboks are next in comfort, with Nike after that, and usually narrow. Report It

Reply:I gots the new Lebrons and they will rock your worlds!!! Get the new LeBrons! It really helps you focus and you will fly high. But if you can%26#039;t get it considering the cost, then i suggest you get the new Jermaine%26#039;s they will boost your game to the next level.

i%26#039;m looking for basketball shoes that could


support my ankles, and flexible.





so i%26#039;m thinking about buying..





Nike Shox Lethal or


VC 5 or


Jordan 5 retro(for looks...)





could you guys explain me the characteristics of the shoes mentioned above?








i also want to know what basketball shoes that you guys would recommend me..

I%26#039;m choosing basketball shoes..?
Shox or VC 5 - i personally don%26#039;t like shox, it sometimes hurts my knees. I prefer zoom or max air.





The jordan V is an awesome shoe, but not for today%26#039;s basketball.





For basketball, i recommend the Melo M3, best basketball shoes out right now
Reply:i would recommend nike air pumps because dey can really fit you even though u r a size over. plus dey can b a sik signature move wen goin for a dunk...*PUMP PUMP* hahahahaha
Reply:NO! none of those. Shox shoes wear out quickly and the sole can become rigid. And retro Jordan shoes will kill your feet on the court, they may be fashionable, but they are far behind in technology. I would reccommend the most comfortable shoe on the market: the LeBrons. Or the nike team shoes. Perhaps the air force 25.
Reply:The only thing that I can contribute is about the Shox and the VCs. I bought the first or second version of the Nike Shox a couple of years ago. I hated them. I found that the Shox on the soles of the shoe would slip out when turning the corner.





Again this was like 3-4 years ago, and maybe it%26#039;s just a problem for me. But, since then, I haven%26#039;t even thought about buying shoes with that Shox system.
Reply:If the shoes are what you are concerned about, then you need to find a different sport.
Reply:Do you want the more comfortable shoes or the better-looking ones? I think the Nike is more comfortable, while the Jordan 5s look much better (in my opinion the 5s are the best looking Jordans). I dont really see people (except for in the NBA) play basketball in Air Jordans, so I think you should get the Nike Shox

Good Basketball Shoes??

Reply:Anything from Adidas and Nike are nice. Just let him choose the design he wants. Comfort is one of the factors to consider too.

Nice basketball shoes??????
Well, the Jordan B%26#039;Loyal basketball shoe have a $115 retail price (for what I bought them for). Here is how they look like.





http://www.finishline.com/store/catalog/...





These must be a different, discontinued version because mine say Jordan in red without the NBA sign where it says %26quot;Sixers%26quot; at the top, and mine say 23 where it says Jordan toward the bottom. These are extremely comfy. They are suede, so get some waterproof coating for them for $5. Also, they look much better up close in real life. The blue part on the bottom only has a few black dots for the design, not like in the picture where they are everywhere. The black and red ones or the white and red ones don%26#039;t look good to me, in my opinion (they look much worse in real life).








Another pair of shoes that look nice and are cheaper are the Converse Men%26#039;s Wade 2.0 basketball shoes. They are for $80, and they look like good shoes. Here is how they look.

What basketball shoes should i get????

Im a girl


5%26#039;6 and is about 130 pounds





Im currently playing for my schools junior team, and will be playin for high school next year


so obviously i am in 8th grade





Im not sure of what basketball shoe i should get... looks matters but it doesnt have to be super sexy and all that


all i care is i need a comfortable pair that wont hurt my foot and would protect my ankle.





would u suggest high tops??





please give me the list of shoes and the reasons why i should get it?





*I prefer Nike*

What basketball shoes should i get????
well, there are some factors that you must take into consideration.. first, what position do you play?


second, what%26#039;s your budget?


third, where are you playing? indoors or outdoors?





I%26#039;m not a super expert, but i know enough to realize what shoes i think best suit me..





admittedly, i am a jordan guy





but that doesn%26#039;t mean that you have to specifically buy Jordans but yea..





see, for example, I%26#039;m a guard type.. i do a lot of sprints, stutter steps, cross-overs, laterals, slides and jumping diving on the floor cuts quick jump stops and yea.. as it is arguably the most arduous position of the five, performance and comfort are important to me.. i don%26#039;t want to twist any ankles, but i also don%26#039;t like that feeling of burns under the arches of my feet..





i have to say that there%26#039;s three pairs that i would give my ok on.. the first two are from Nike; the Zoom Kobe 1s and the LeBron 4s..





The difference?





Kobe%26#039;s kicks are lighter, but you get a better feel for the floor.. the performance is outstanding, as you get to move freely without feeling a lot of strain on your feet.. and, the pair is probably the most comfortable i%26#039;ve worn since the Hurrache 2k5s..





Meanwhile, the Lebron 4s give you a powerful feel, as compared to the finesse feel of the ZK1s.. although much heavier, the foamposite material around the shoe becomes almost a type of protection that lets you power through the defense..





finally, the third shoe.. the Gilbert Arenas signature Adidas sneakers..





they%26#039;re low-tops, the way Agent Zero likes them.. but the biggest factor is the extra-thick sides, which would be perfect if you run on the sides of your feet.. you may not run that way, which is why i suggested three shoes for you..





but the jordans are perfect for style and comfort you really cant go wrong with any pair of jordans they all look good and fell good even the mellos. and most of those shoes are mid highs and i like those because they arent to high or to low so they keep my ankles feeling good





what ever you do dont buy those 15 starburys kuz they suck i always get blisters on my feet from those horrible shoes. they say they are made like jordans and they arent lol





good luck with your shoe search hop this helps

The king%26#039;s Zooms are okay.. But if your a Point Guard with moves I suggest you get the Iverson%26#039;s better...

Good shoes for basketball team?
flexible shoes aren%26#039;t good because it sacrifices ankel support. light wheight would be preferable and dont buy lows because those sacrifice ankel support too. if you wanna brag to your friends, get decorative shoes, but if not dont. you need a good ventilation system with also a good lacing system. test the shoes that have in mind and compare them, because it is important for your feet to be comfortable.
Reply:you should go for shoes that are comfortable, and to your liking.. well when i first started basketball i bought a pair of and1%26#039;s and they were quite cheap and nice..
Reply:I suggest that you don%26#039;t waste that much money if you%26#039;re only playing for a school team. Don%26#039;t go buy Jordans, instead just stick to a pair of Reeboks or Nike Airs around $50-$70.
Reply:Nike Air Force
Reply:ok be smart and buy urself a couple of Starbury%26#039;s. get the $14.98 ones that Stephon Marbury wears on the court. that means that they are good for ur games (because he wears them himself) and they are very cheap so you can get multiple pairs. You can get them at Steve %26amp; Barry%26#039;s.

Toenail problems due to basketball shoes...how well should shoes fit?

Sometimes when I play basketball at full court speed, I will feel a sudden pain in my toenails. There will then be bleeding underneath the nail. The toenail dies and a new one starts to grow to replace it. I was wondering if this injury could be due to the shoes I wear.





I currently wear a size 11. I thought these shoes were the most comfortable I could find, and I%26#039;ve already broken them in well. When I push my toes up so they hit the very front of the shoes, I can tightly slide my pointer finger through the back so it reaches the bottom of the sole.





I was wondering if these shoes fit correctly. Is there a criteria for proper size fitting? I%26#039;m not sure if i should try to move down half a size or not. This problem keeps reoccurring only when I play basketball. Thanks.

Toenail problems due to basketball shoes...how well should shoes fit?
they should be wide enough for ur foot so its comfortable to move, but so they can be done up tightly so they dont fall off.


since u play basketball u stop and start a lot which pushes ur foot to the top, so they should also be long enough to stop this. u should be able to put ur pointer in, but to allow enough room or foot sliding maybe try putting ur thumb in sideways caz its thicker than ur pointer. dont move down a size, move up.
Reply:Sounds to me like you need bigger shoes.


Either that or clip your toenails.
Reply:It sounds like they may be too big.

Can I wear basketball shoes when not on the basketball court?

See, I have basketball practice tomorrow, and I don%26#039;t have room in my backpack for my basketball shoes, and my mom says that I can%26#039;t wear them off the court cuz it will ruin the treads or something, but also I need to break them in cuz last game someone asked me why I didn%26#039;t have basketball shoes, which is how I figured out that I needed them, and we have another game soon. Also I don%26#039;t even know whether I need them cuz I am just on the JV team and I am not even that good.

Can I wear basketball shoes when not on the basketball court?
Firstly if you play. You need them to protect your ankles. Turn or sprain one, and you will know all about. Pain!!!


I wore basketball shoes for about 3 yrs solid when at school. No Problems. It%26#039;s good to break them in but, of course, they do ware out faster....
Reply:Of cos you can.
Reply:Of course, just dont drag your feet and dont wear on the street all the time.
Reply:well if you wear the shoes for a day it wont where the grips off. but while in basketball season dont wear them just to go out places becuase that will wear them down plus rocks will get stuck and it will ruin the floor also. good luck
Reply:As everyone above said, of course you can wear them. I recommend that you clean them when you get to the court, though. You want the rubber to be %26quot;squeaky%26quot; and not full of dirt. I recommend any kind of soap (dish soap, hand soap or anything that %26quot;cuts grease%26quot;) and water to get the oil off of the shoe bottoms you pick up from walking in parking lots and they should squeak like crazy when they dry. Make sure you get the soap all of the way off or you will definitely slip! Rocks are also bad, as someone else said, but you do need to break them in to be comfortable. You won%26#039;t be able to concentrate on playing well if your feet hurt. Hope this helps! - Kris B.
Reply:your realy not supposed to wear your shoes outside of the court, you should have a seperate pair, sandals are best. ya wearing them outside ruins them after awhile. to break them in then just wear them around the house.
Reply:u can wear them but they wont get ruined right away but the y get slipery so u slide alot so its better that u dont

Reply:it%26#039;s not good for the shoes. don%26#039;t wear them on court after. varry them in a tote-like purse

Are Basketball shoes good for running miles in?

Well i have to run a two miles tommorrow, since I lost my running shoes I%26#039;ve been useing my skating shoes. So I thought would Basketball shoes be better for running miles? Please Answer

Are Basketball shoes good for running miles in?
No, not really, because as the other people said, basketball shoes are made especially for basketball. They don%26#039;t have the same support for your foot and ankle as running shoes do. It can make your feet hurt a lot or give you really bad blisters if you run to far in them.


I have to admit that running in basketball shoes is better than running in skating shoes though.
Reply:To put it simply... Basketball shoes are good for basketball. Running shoes are good for running.
Reply:Basketball shoes are meant to cushion certain parts of your foot and keep you stable. Running shoes have more support. A running shoe is typically good for running about 300 miles, not for jumping in. Basketball shoes cushion different parts of your foot, for jumping up and sprinting and turning quickly. Long term effects of not wearing the right shoes could be shin splints, arch pain in your foot, really PAINFUL blisters (I have lots of scars) and other problems with your feet and legs. I would recommend getting good running shoes if you are going to be doing it often. Although skating shoes are even worse! Hope my advice helped

Do basketball Shoes matter?

I just got into a discussion on one of the forums about the importance of basketball shoes on the indoor courts. I play a lot of pick up and played in several intramurals. I personally think shoes do matter as I saw many streetballers in taped snickers catching their breath face down on the court.


So the question is: on the indoor court do shoes help your performance, agility, speed, stability etc? Taped oldschool vs Air Jordans. What do you think? What%26#039;s your experience?

Do basketball Shoes matter?
Yes they do. I look for stability (esp the ankle part) and comfort. I like shoes snug (not tight) and a bit comforting after you land from jumping. Old school shoes are great and durable but nothing compares to the comfort and technology to the newer models. I like the Shox and the airmax versions. I also wear a3 but I can%26#039;t seem to feel the presence of the columns. My experience with Jordans and the Nike line is that the Jordans are way much comfortable. I think they use a different kind of insole. For me, Nike/Jordan are the most comfortable, adidas are durable, Reebok is a hit and miss with the styles- they are comfortable but doesnt offer good traction, Converse are catching up and they are comfortable (on some models) too. And1 is ok (the price doesnt create holes in your pockets also). Hope this helps. All these are based on personal experience.
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t really matter, because I am apart of my school basketball team and I don%26#039;t have basketball shoes but I played a good game anyway.
Reply:all air jordans arent good to play in my favorites are the patent leather 11%26#039;s. ive never heard of some one taping there shoes for basketball. ive you have to tape them you need to get some new shoes because the quality not the brand effects your play.
Reply:Old school is lighter and more freedom of movement but doesn%26#039;t offer the support and stability that basketball shoes have.
Reply:Yes! Because if you have dusty, raggy, horrible shoes than you can%26#039;t do squat. If they are dusty or have no grip at the bottom you will slide everywhere and usually are called with a walk. :( If they are old and raggy, they might fall off your feet! If they aren%26#039;t up to your ankles then, you are most likely gonna twist your ankle. If they aren%26#039;t light then, it effects how fast you run. I have Nike Shox b-ball shoes and the spring at the bottom helps you jump high. It is very important to have the right kind of shoe when playing basketball. Hope I helped!

Reply:eastbay.com
Reply:Depends on what you are needing them for and how much you got. Go with Nikes, they are the best. If you are looking for lightweight shoes go with Zoom Airs, but the only problem is they won%26#039;t last long. If you want shoes to last longer and have more cushioning go with Max Air or Shox, but they are gonna weigh a few ounces more. SHOX will last longer but they offer less stability than the other nike shoes (meaning it is easier to twist your ankle in them ). All of Nikes shoes, including Jordans, LeBrons, and Kobes come down to these basic elements. Go to nike.com to read more about the shoes what ones would work best for you. eastbay.com is also a good site (it is the same warehouse as footlocker.com).

Jordan B%26#039;Loyal basketball shoes for $115 or the Converse Wade 2.0 basketball shoes for $80 both have good grip. Buy them from Finishline. There%26#039;s a $10 off coupon that you can print out (look at the bottom of the website), but it won%26#039;t work with the Jordan shoes (just because it%26#039;s Jordan).

Running shoes vs. Basketball shoes on the track?

i%26#039;ve been running my miles on the track with basketball shoes. everyone tells me to get running shoes and that its better. i dont get why? basketball shoes have support and stuff too.


Whats the difference? or whats positive and negative? what are the advantages and disadvantages? does it matter..

Running shoes vs. Basketball shoes on the track?
running shoes are lighter and more flexible... but in my opinion basketball shoes are more confortable for like street shoes... u should go w/ the running shoes
Reply:The main difference is that running shoes are much lighter. Basketball shoes fit higher on the foot with more stability in the ankles. Basketball shoes also have thicker soles and less flexibility. So for stopping, starting, jumping, and turning basketball shoes offer stability, safety, and comfort.





But running shoes have the support where you need them for running. They also bend a bit more in the sole. And they are much lighter. So yes, it makes a huge difference.





Buy some new running shoes, make sure you are fitted properly, and you will run better. By the way, in my 20 years of distance running - Asics are my favorite shoe.
Reply:Well, when you say miles you don%26#039;t say how many. If you have been running regularly for a while and dont have EXCRUCIATING pain in your feet, ankles, knees..then the shoes you are wearing are likely OK, although they are likely quite heavy for running. If you run regularly, you need GOOD shoes. Not necessarily the most expensive, but good, solid quality shoes. I agree with the answerer above me as well. It may take some time, but you may start to develop lower leg pains. Non running shoes are not designed to give proper support for running. If you are going to run seriously, get running shoes. Don%26#039;t wait until you are in agony one day to say AAAAAAHHHHHH, now I know why people say to wear proper running shoes!!! Take our hard learned lessons to heart. Like the answerer above, I also love %26quot;Asics%26quot; shoes.
Reply:Running shoes have support in specific areas that you need for running, whereas basketball shoes are designed mainly for lateral support, cutting back and forth, sudden stops and starts, etc. Even more importantly, though, is cushioning. Running puts a ton of stress on your feet, knees, etc., and running shoes have more cushioning to lessen that impact. You may not notice it right now, but eventually those basketball shoes will begin to do damage to your lower body, even if its only in the form of increased fatigue. Trust me: you need to get some running shoes.
Reply:I think a basketball shoe is heavier than a shoe that is made for track. and the track shoe might be a little more flexible.and lighter for running.

Are there really a special pair of shoes for Basketball, Tennis and running?

Are there special shoes for both Basketball and Tennis and also running (jogging)?
absolutely, and its for a reason. tennis and basketball require completely different traction and support. if you try playing tennis with basketball shoes, there is a high chance you will slip, and if you play basketball with tennis shoes, there is a high chance you will sprain your ankles;it is all just on how the game is played and how the court is made. in the cases of those two games, you should consider special shoes even if you are only playing semi-seriously. as for running, you can try other types of shoes, but running shoes are usually alot smoother and lighter, which is important if you want to start competing.

My basketball shoes are not gripping well on the indoor court at my school. What can I do?

The floor at my school appears to be regular hardwood. I don%26#039;t know what the problem is. I just bought two new pairs, one of them was a bargain deal on some K-Swiss basketball shoes and the others were the Gilbert Arenas shoes. Neither of them grip very well and it takes from my quickness. Nobody else seems to be having this problem. I don%26#039;t know if its me or the shoes. Has anyone ever encountered this while playing and do you know of any remedies, like can I rub something on the bottom of my shoes to help them grip better? Or do I just need to get new shoes and if so what do I look for when buying them so I know they grip well to the floor.

Wearing basketball shoes at a bigger size?

My foot is about 11 inches, but I wear a size 12 shoe normally (casual shoe). I have always worn size 12 basketball shoes, but today I bought a size 13. I did this because my toes used to bleed all the time from hitting up against the shoe, and I also wear 4-5 pairs of socks when I play, so it makes my foot bigger. There is about an inch between the end of my toes and the end of the shoe, but the shoe fits perfectly and doesn%26#039;t slip or slide. I was just wondering if anyone else does this, or if perhaps it could cause injury? Thanks,


Rye

Wearing basketball shoes at a bigger size?
If it feels good to you then my guess is that its okay. I dont do that but if you dont slide in them and they feel comfy when you play then its prolly cool.





Good Luck!!!
Reply:As long as your feet aren%26#039;t slipping out and they are tied snugly around your ankles you%26#039;ll be fine. I can%26#039;t say I blame you for buying the larger size, having been a toe dancer for 13+ years, I can totally relate to ripping up your toes.
Reply:I%26#039;ve layered 2 pairs of socks before at max but I noticed a slight redness after games where we were pulling more fast breaks/ running more than usual. After that I did research and it seems that the addition of more socks suffocates your feet, giving it lack of air. Its possible it may cause athletes foot as well, especially if you play a lot. I recommend just downsizing back to your regular size and finding shoes better suited to your feet. After about 3 pairs, I got a set of answer 3s and they worked wonders. So my assumption is that its about picking the right shoe. If you play for a team and they require a shoe dress code, just ask the coach and tell him about your condition. Good luck.

I would buy them a half size bigger just for the fact that you are buying them online. Your feet will grow and they will fit better. If you go buy them in the store then you would have a better chance of picking the right size and fit.

Are you still growing or not?

Basketball shoes and clothes?

Ok so i play basketball everyday for at least an hour. But every time i play i hurt my ankles because of my shoes, all i have is Nike 6.0%26#039;s(skateboarding shoes). And every time i play a game everyone thinks i suck because i have crappy shoes, and don%26#039;t wear basketball clothes.





So i know a good place to get that kind of stuff is footlocker, but what kind of shoes are really good? And what kind of clothes should i get?

Basketball shoes and clothes?
sell those 6.0%26#039;s and you can get some money for those...then use that money to buy basketball shoes and clothes
Reply:Sell your shoes. Go to Champs, Footlocker, or NikeTown.

All these websites I%26#039;ve used so I know they work. I got my shoes from Champs but if you got a under $20 budget get some Starburys.
Reply:Just buy some cheap Nike sneakers and some basketball shorts, you%26#039;ll be fine.





Good luck.

Traction for basketball shoes?

I bought a pair of shoes that were supposed to be made for basketball %26amp; volleyball instead of buying basketball shoes AND volleyball shoes because it%26#039;s really expensive. The shoes are great for volleyball, but for basketball they don%26#039;t have enough traction and I keep on running into people and sliding and stuff like that because there%26#039;s not enough traction. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the shoes to have more traction?


thanks for the help! :]

Traction for basketball shoes?
How often is the gym floor swept off? It hard to get any traction on dusty gym floors. What has worked for me is licking my hands then immediately rubbing the bottom of my shoes with my licked hand. I know it sounds gross but it does work. Or rub your shoes with a very damp towel during timeout, it helps your shoes grasp the floor better.
Reply:you can borrow kwame brown shoes if you want, they would help you focus more.....





vote for kwame brown!!!!
Reply:um try one of those sticky pads like the NBA use. they work great. u might have to go to the store and buy one but they work great. u can probably find one at ur local sports store or basketball store. it would be much cheaper to buy a stick pad then a new pair of basketball shoes. these sticky pads will not cost more than 10$.

The nike shox elites have way more grip on the shoe(I am not the fastest person on my team but every time we did suicides I won) they are way better.
Reply:it depends. if your looking for a little more stylish for a cheaper price get the Formidable II. but if your looking for better performance for about $15 more then get the Elite II. I would buy the Formidable II because it is cheaper. its just as good as the Elite II and I think it looks better.

Reply:I am not sure, probably the first one
Reply:yup
Reply:The Shox are my pick because the colors look good, and Nike Shox are usually a good basketball shoe.

I%26#039;m torn between the Kobe Zoom III and the Jordan 23%26#039;s. I dunno if it matters but I%26#039;m more of a driving oriented player (kinda like Lebron) but i can also shoot well so does anyone know which shoe i should get.

Basketball Shoes?
Definately the jordan 23%26#039;s. They are the top shoes for basketball right now. If you didn%26#039;t know that. Every feature about the 23%26#039;s is good. Great ankle support, good weight, and very comfortable. What you can do is go to footlocker and try the shoes and see how they would fit. Good luck on choosing your shoe.

Is there anything that can be sprayed on the bottom of a shoe to provide it more grip?

Basketball shoes?
There is nothing that you can spray on your shoes to provide more grip. I coach basketball and there are two things that I always tell my players..


1) Never wear your basketball shoes outside


2) When you get home after games, take an old toothbrush and warm water and brush off the bottoms of your shoes.
Reply:well no but i recemend these shoes called the jordan 5 and they have LOTS of grip!!

can anyone tell me what kind of b-ball shoe is best plz. light cool looking,ect

Basketball shoes?
depends on what u r looking for. if u want light, cool u will probably waant the adidas promodels. they r light and comfartable. if u r looking for a sick shoe just get some kind of numbered jordan. they r all nice, good basketball shoes. nikes r also good. all u have to do is look into the shoe a little bit and u wil find what u r looking for. good luck
Reply:well it all depends on how much your willing to spend,

Champs and footlocker


have sales going on,


you should stop by.
Reply:It%26#039;s all a matter of preference, especially if you%26#039;re young. If you%26#039;re old like me, you pick something that%26#039;s light, offers good support in the ankle and forefoot areas, and isn%26#039;t too %26quot;blingish%26quot;.





Go browse footlocker.com or eastbay.com for basketball shoes from brand Jordan, Lebron, adidas, etc. and find the look that you like.





Other than that, the only thing you should look for is something that%26#039;s not too low-cut (especially if you do a lot of cutting and slashing), and not too heavy (unless you%26#039;re a post-playing big man).
Reply:If you play a lot you need the high ones.

Does the Nike Shox Elite II give more traction or less traction than the Nike Shox Elite I?





Does the coloring of the outsole have anything to do with the amount of traction? i.e. Can I get more traction with a white outsole then a black outsole or blue outsole?





How can I increase the amount of traction for these shoes?

Basketball shoes?
I have had both, and there is more traction in the Nike Shox Elite II. The coloring has absolutely nothing to do with it. Well, the only way you can temporarily increased the traction is by wetting your feet before you play. But also, I would say that there is a downside to the Elites: their weight. They are pretty heavy..I mean in a sense it could help the strength in your legs slightly, but they%26#039;re a little challenging to play in after a while, especially if you%26#039;re really tired.

My current shoes are 17.5 oz and i%26#039;m looking for shoes that are light but can support my size 15 feet like they do. the shoes feel great but they make me slower and I cant jump as high as should be. I perfer Nike and i%26#039;ve been looking to see how many oz Nike Air Max Elite II TB are but i cant find it out surprisingly..I also want shoes that look nice and i would like if i could customize them to my school colors

Basketball Shoes?
Depending on you position, if ure a guard i think i low cut shoe which is light with good grip. The low cut will give you the mobility a guard needs. A power foreward or centre a shoe that supports ure ankles alot and are very stable. Or my favourite the cross between both. My favourite shoe is the Nike zoom hurrache 2k5 or 2k4. I think you should look into these shoes. They may be a bit old but they are super light with good grip. They have a very stable base and have high ankle support with a ankle strap. If you looking for a lightweight shoe which is a mix between both. That is your shoe.

Reply:search them on www.eastbay.com
Reply:it depends on wat position u r playing. there r many things u need to consider when choosing a basketball shoe.not only the light weight of the shoe that can make u jump higher. choose a shoe that has an ankle support.it will makes a huge difference. i heard some ppl say that nike kobe 3 is really something.
Reply:Try footlocker.com of nike.com
Reply:i wear a 15/16.If your lookiong for shoes to make you faster go for Asics. I had the same problem because my basketball shoes are a 15 and they are heavy compared to normal shoes. I think maybe elite or zoom lebrons.

i agree with Lord Chief Rocka


you will bust your legs with those shoes


those are not basketball shoes and u should buy starburys


they are cheap
Reply:hell no
Reply:I totally agree with these guys. Not using the right kind of athletic equipment (this goes for any sport) will add to the risk of injury. bball shoes are specifically designed to adapt to the rigors of the game which include a lot of running, jumping, laterals, and all sorts of leg movements. the soles are designed to prevent you from slipping and to cushion your feet when you come down from a jump. some soles improve traction and even allow your feet to %26quot;breathe%26quot;.





though, i might not suggest for you to go for cheap shoes. your shoes are the most basic equipments of your game. i think it would be best for you to shell out a bit of cash to get really good ones. it would be like an investment for you. besides, nothing beats the feeling of the adrenaline rush you get from stepping on to the court in a pair of sweeeet air jordans! :)





just my advice, bro. cheers!

Basketball shoes?

I know this might be a dumb question, but are basketball shoes good for tennis? A friend of mine said they are because they provide support for your ankle or something...is he right?

Basketball shoes?
Basketball shoes aren%26#039;t the worst thing you can wear on the court, but they are made for wood floors, not hard courts. So they might wear out quicker. I%26#039;m not quite sure they give you the lateral support you need in tennis either. I like to slide an be able to stop on a dime - I%26#039;d roll my ankle in a pair of basketball shoes trying to slide.





But I suppose its what suits your game best. They are certainly better than running shoes. I%26#039;ve seen a few idiots on the tennis court in running shoes before.
Reply:I dont think there would be much of a difference...kids at my school wehre basketbal shoes for it. But if the are 3 1/4 inch tops yea hes right
Reply:just make sure that you have enough support for your ankles because tennis is a lot of side to side motion with sudden stopping. I would recommend getting tennis shoes. For me throughout my 4 seasons of tennis my fav. shoe was Nike. Nike %26quot;tennis%26quot; shoes are great because they have a very wide width which is great for support. Not to mention they are always cute haha but who cares about that;)
Reply:i use skater shoes to play tennis since they are so comfy. but they do wear out fast by the way i play (sliding a lot!) and no im not gonna break my ankle...i know how to slide right.





idk but skating is a pretty extreme sport so if its good enough for that...it should handle tennis.
Reply:this is a tennis place can%26#039;t you see?
Reply:basketball shoes are horrible for running to balls. if i were you, go to an online tennis shop and look for actual tennis shoes. i have the prince mv4s and they are really comfortable and have good traction.
