A trail shoe should be somewhat dirt/grass proof no? Or are you saying it makes sense for trail shoes to be extra susceptible to the materials it will most commonly be in contact with lol
I’m a 2:36 marathon runner. The ultrafly and vaporfly are just not made for walking around or chilling. Multiple national and European records have been run in the vaporfly, the shoe is very much designed to be sleek fast and efficient at race paces. I know you pointed out that you weren’t wearing the shoes appropriately, but in the end you wouldn’t wear ski boots to shovel your drive way in the winter. There is a lot of zoom x available in more stable wider and more well rounded shoes than opting for a race day shoe to putt around in. All in all it make sense that you didn’t appreciate them as you didn’t use them at all for what they were intended for. Either way youre a rockstar with the reviews. Have always been a fan, but for the people who watch and read, I would never advise buying a marathon race shoe like the adidas pro 3 or alphafly or vaporfly as a daily shoe. Not what they’re for not what they were designed to do.
@@jasonli4424 exactly. Saying you don’t like the vaporfly from a casual perspective is like saying I don’t like wearing crocs on a construction site. Can’t judge a shoe based on something it’s not meant to be used for.
I agree though running shoes do not equal hype shoes, they’re meant for functionality. I love hype sneakers, they look cool asf and most people need a shoe just for casual use. Also when he talked about getting them dirty that’s not really the main concern of modern running shoes. You can get replica Jordan’s but you can’t get replica Brooks or Hokas. Because one’s main purpose is to look good while the others main purpose is to preform good.
If you've always been a fan then you would know that he constantly reminds the viewer in his reviews that his point of view is from a casual perspective... Just take a look at any of his vids on basketball sneakers or the "squishiest" or "most comfortable" series. You can 100% say that you don't like a performance shoe from a casual perspective. Just because a shoe is designed for one thing doesn't mean that it can't be evaluated in another way. As you say, crocs are great for walking around as a sandal but would be horrible to play basketball in. The ultraboosts were initially a performance running shoe but now is evaluated positively as a comfortable lifestyle shoe. The Jordan 1 was a performance basketball shoe, but is now evaluated as a stylish but uncomfortable shoe that would be horrible on the court. In the same vein, the ultrafly and vaporfly are amazing performance running shoes but horrible casual shoes, which is a valid review that informs consumers that might want to try them for casual use. All of this to say, you can absolutely judge a shoe based on something that it's not meant to be used for.
@@eossoon the vaporfly has been a marathon shoe and marathon only shoe. Nobody who buys them for what they’re intended for walks around In them. The shoe is not a casual shoe. Period. I’m not going to go buy soccer cleats and say I regret buying them because they’re not comfortable to walk in. They’re intended for a sport. At the time the Jordan 1s came out most players wore converse or adidas, and the majority of shoes in the early 80s weren’t sport specific. The vaporfly has foams and technology test and built to help durning the marathon. The drop is designed to push you forward the plate scoop is also designed to lean you aggressively forward. NO shit he’s not going to like a premium marathon shoe for casual wear. “I regret buying the vaporfly” yeah because it’s made for marathoners who run near the 2 hour barrier. Not someone walking to get a coffee.
I think “regret” is a strong word for something you were able to return and get your money back 😅 probably my only regret with that said is joining so many raffles of the Washed Black AJ1s. I do love my pair, but all signs pointed to this being an easy cop. I ended up with 3 pairs, 2 from stores whose return policies involved cost on my end, because I couldn’t cancel my raffle entry with them 😭 also regret not waiting on some AJ1 OG Lows to go on sale before copping them, like the Black Toe and the UNC to CHI.
The new Vomero was my mistake purchase. I love the 14 (maybe my fav shoe) but the newest lost all the comfort and look. Btw AF1 is so overhyped. I don’t like any of the, in any iteration
nah, the extra patches completely ruin the silhouette; we would have had one of the best 4s in years had the olive crafts were normal 4s but nike had to mess it up
they were good and i don't understand him saying they are not good because "they don't resonate with people" like he needs hype. that was a weird critique
So cringe when people stand on the heel of a marathon racing shoe like the Vaporfly or Alphafly to test the ZoomX. It wasn’t designed for heel striking but for forefoot/mid foot runners.
@@bryancaro2000 yeah he said that but still rate them based on the casual wear 🙄 Put ‘em on regret buying list kinda misleads ppl into thinking they are bad shoes .but the fact is that Vaporfly is on the top tier of running shoes . What he is doing here is like a runner rating lifestyle shoes for marathon .. it’s absurd .
I think all your points are valid. We like shoes or we don't. I'm glad you made this list, cause it's all personal experiences and feelings. Helps me decide on shoes too.
Hes..... And true to form..... The Swoosh covers the top of the list..... Not a SINGLE NB product?!? Trefoils?? And you LIVE in OR?!?🧐🤔💭 Please, just One Time ( Vegas Gambling Voice)... And I LOVE your content, but DAMNIT
“I’m just an average consumer” Mate, you’ve just made a ‘top 10 sneakers I regret buying this year’ video. The average consumer wouldn’t have even purchased 10 sneakers that they love in a year. You know that, right?
Vaporfly 3 too narrow? What the fuck? My feet is size 9 long but size 11 wide, i usually go to 11, but vaporfly i can go to size 10 and really comfortable, i dont get it ypu said its to narrow...
Unsubbing. Because you wear the sh*t out of your shoes to make a video and return. Shame. It makes it impossible for people like us who actually have to go through try-ons because our feet are difficult.
Most of the complaints are obviously specific shoes that don’t translate well to casual. That’s to be expected. The JT1 are amazing on court basketball shoes though.
You gotta try the oofos again. They are hands down the softest squishiest slides i own and i own a bunch of different brands. I have been wearing the oofos adjustable slide for over a year and they are still bad ass! Give em another shot Hes!
1. Where do you get your shoes with such great return policies? 2. I regret the Adidas gore Tex trail runners. There was a defect in the manufacturing and it dug into the front of my ankle in a painful way
At least with a sneaker channel, you can regret buying 10 pairs of shoes with out really losing any money. You can make your money back by reviewing the shoes.
This guy wears nothing but sweat pants and wears running shoes, basketball shoes, hiking shoes, and all types of shoes as casual shoes. How bout review the shoe for the use that they are designed for and not for how they look casually.
lol most of them are nike, i just bought nike infinity run 4, when i used it for running about 100km , instanly i regret to buy this shoes , the shape of sole is not flat , its kinda wavy , doesnt fit with my foot
I see other comments about the vaporfly 3's but I have other points to add. Not only are the vaporfly 3's not nearly as durable or cheap as normal walking shoes, but they have a carbon plate! This doesn't just apply to the vaporflys but ALL shoes that have a carbon plate in them, but this could be DANGEROUS for your feet if you walk in them casually. These plates are designed so you get more energy back and your feet don't have to work as hard while running, meaning that your feet will WEAKEN over time if you wear them casually. I would NOT RECOMMEND wearing carbon plated shoes unless you're wearing them in a rotation. Not to mention these shoes are designed to push you forward, which cannot be comfortable.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree in the plated runners as not daily shoes too for the most part, I do rotate so its not the one and ONLY pair I would use. some carbon plates though are not felt as much as other pairs IMO
@@heskicks That’s completely fair, some are more prominent than others. I don’t care what you do with your money but make sure you keep your feet healthy! Have a good one.
Hi, new to the channel... i didnt really by that many Kicks in 23, regarding the "Craft", i didnt get those that you posted. but i did get the Olive ones, and the patch really isnt that make or break (to me). i really enjoyed the video, and very refreshing for your honest opinion.
I regret buying a pair of Jordan 1 lows that have two colors split down the middle, Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Bone, Yeezy Boots, Jordan 11 low retro ie bred color way, Jordan 1 low reverse bred color way, so many pairs of Air Max 97’s and 95’s, Air Max 270’s a size too small, and the list goes on and on
Why it’s a black and white shoe that goes with everything. IMO If Nike kept these limited then they would still be everyone’s favorite shoe. They’re just accessible to everyone now for retail and all of a sudden they “suck”
I’m very picky when it comes to grabbing shoes. I wanna say out all the shoes I own I’m 22 the 550 low wave was high and I bought a pair of black and grey lows. Wish I would of just waited e for a whirlwind pair and was patient
those nike vaporFlys might as well be called the Ankle Destroyers , literally everyone i know that wears these has sprained or torn ligaments in their ankles
Right now the Panda Dunk high, because I was anxious to get any Panda Dunk. Eventually got the lows, and now the highs I don't really wear all too often.
I purchased Saucony triumph 21, I returned it because the comfort was on the rough side. I'm fine with a rougher cushion. But when is market as the most comfortable shoe ever I expect it, and well unfortunately they were disappointing. I got ON Cloudsurfer instead, they definitely live up to my expectations.
I’d give anything for a ZoomX shoe that fits my foot - but my foot is very wide. I wear a 2e in the 1080v13 and it’s necessary - the regular width won’t cut it. Nikes I generally can’t even get my foot in at all 😢
New balance walker. The shoe itself just isn’t very comfortable and I found out I need to Wear neutral max cushion shoes and that wasn’t it, out $143. I did buy two pairs of gel nimbus 25 shoes and a pair of NB supercomp V2 great shoes. Personally I like the added stability from being a wider shoe with gel nimbus, it snows in WI.
Happy new year everyone!! 🎉
I do struggle with the complaint about a trail shoe being that it got dirt/grass on it.
I do with the fact there are 2 slides listed on a sneaker top, it is what it is
😅
its because they are Vibram material shoes meaning they are supposed to be WATER AND DIRT PROOF out door shoes , and guess what they were not .
@@bigbodykarate6403 Vibram is only an outsole rubber

The number four, the nike pair, are the ugliest shoes I've ever seen
you regret shoes specifically made for running marathons? .. i wonder why lol
haha almost all of your regrets are nikes! happy new year!

love hes kicks but he can’t dress😂
Happy new year hes and everyone watching his videos from Canada 🇨🇦

$300 for that pair of sneakers at number 2? I never would of thought I'd see a pair of sneakers retail for $300.
Bro is an NPC now
Both craft 4s are the best color ways of the 4s this year. There zero hype, but they’re extremely wearable.
Imo, the craft 4s were trash.
nah, the extra patches completely ruin the silhouette; we would have had one of the best 4s in years had the olive crafts were normal 4s but nike had to mess it up

Crafts are such bad quality of materials. Like they’re clearly so cheap to make. They shouldve dropped them at a lower retail price
Remove Vapofly from the list.
I regret getting a custom made pair of the invincible run 3s, not as soft and comfy as its predecessor, heel slip and way too expensive
Hes is wearing Seth Fowler super popular Apthcry socks, that’s awesome. Love it when fellow youtubers collaborate
No Ragrets
I legit thought those AF1's said "FU tofia" and I was thinking "who is tofia, and why does the creator dislike them so much?" lolololol
I thought some idiot wrote on them.......with a Sharpie!! 😮😂 (You can tell I'm NOT a "sneakerhead", at least not to THAT level, lol)

I loved your recent top 10 comfort list, but watching this makes me envision the pain of dead midsoles and absolute discomfort 🎭
For me the Cherry 11 coz its kinda like not worth the price the red patent leather looks too thin compared to Gratitude 11s this year.
Unsubbing. Because you wear the sh*t out of your shoes to make a video and return.
Shame.
It makes it impossible for people like us who actually have to go through try-ons because our feet are difficult.
The Fleas are disturbingly UGLY. And who the heck pays $100.00 for a pair of slides, Adidas or not?? 😮🤷♂️🤪😄😄
I was disappointed by the Fear 3s. Didn't give us the quotes on the insoles, shitty suede.. Just a disappointment. Hope the 4s are better.
Most of the complaints are obviously specific shoes that don’t translate well to casual. That’s to be expected. The JT1 are amazing on court basketball shoes though.

i’ll never forgive nike for turning the vapor max into their yearly air max model
This list dont surprise me much. Nikes are total garbage. Almost every shor on this list is a nike.
Mostly they were Nike 🤔
Where is this dude returning shoes that have grass stains. Damn, i don't have the oddasity to return a shoe ive already worn and stained up.
there’s no way this guy actually bought marathon shoes as every day shoes☠️☠️
Mostly Nike regrets….😬
I regret every Dunks and Jordan's I bought (excluding SB 4s and Gratitude 11s).
Bought dunk highs and they made my feet look like clown feet. Gifted them to a friend
You leave a lot of the shoe unlocked, especially the runners, when you wear them so loose.
So bottom line: Nike does not offer good value for the money. No surprise there.
I took the gamble on the utopia AF1’s too
I can’t say I regret it I was well aware it was a gamble but I wasn’t happy about them at all
Wait, you're returning shoes that are all dirty and worn??🙄
Always waiting for this annually… happy new year Hesse family! Stay safe and kids are growing up super fast 😮😮😮
