    That ac12 encores are very good but I had the same problem it is a piece of stiff fabric sticking out from the stitching which make that part of your foot hurt for the next 2 days

    361 quick pro and ANTA Kai 1 were very good. I could never see placing the book 1 as the top shoe. To each his own. My 3 go to shoes for this year are 1. WOW 10 low 2. and 3. are a tie …the Lebron 22 and the GT Cut 3

    • @ls_hoops
      @ls_hoops  18 днів тому

      I liked the Kai 1 but not as a top 10 shoe and for 361 - I never got them in my size and they hurt my feet in the smaller size. But I heard that they are amazing. But as you said, to each his own :)
      I like your top 3 too btw!

    It's a shame New Balance doesn't sell the wide versions of their basketball shoes in Europe. Both the Fresh Foam BB v2 and the Two Wxy v4 are way too tight around the forefoot for me.
    I'm surprised you're able to wear them as a wide footer.

    • @kieransoregaard-utt8
      @kieransoregaard-utt8 20 днів тому

      He always goes a full size up since he has really wide feet. That’s probably why they fit him . Two wxy v4 was absurdly narrow. FF BB v2 wasn’t as bad but I still got pinching. Then I ordered FF BB v2 2E and STILL got pinching. Being a wide footer is rough bro haha

    • @Wladislav
      @Wladislav 19 днів тому

      @@kieransoregaard-utt8 I think it's mostly because people with wide foot rarely say _where_ their foot is wide.
      From what he said, the width in his foot is mostly in the middle, while for me it's at the forefoot metatarsals. And that's also where the FFBBv2 and Two Wxy line are too tight for me.

      @@Wladislav yea, that’s true, people’s feet are wide in different places. It’s super confusing with all these reviewers, someone will say a shoe is narrow and then another reviewer will say the same shoe is wide foot friendly. All I know is I have a ton of trouble finding shoes that fit me, if sucks.
