I got these shoes not too long ago, after watching about 50 of your videos. I have a wide, flat foot. My custom orthitcs fit in this shoe without the shoe feeling stuffed or heel slipping issues. As someone who loves athletics and has foot and knee ailments, THANK YOU!
I bought the Fission 8's in the panda colorway. I am a US size 12 4E wide, But I bought a size 13. I have played in these 3 times a week since May 31st. No foot cramps, no heal pain or ball of foot pain, Very bouncy shoe. Super Grippy. I love playing in these and recommend them to Bigger players and Wide footers. Only thing i did was replace the insole with a copper fit heavy duty insole. I have a large rotation of shoes and this is my favorite so far.
THANKS MAN !!!! I am from Colombia and It is hard to buy good quality shoes because you can't buy them in real stores, so everything is online and this reviews help me to decide to buy the Fission 8. I am a PG who mainly play outdoor and ofcourse the weather in Medellin is quite hot, so I will write you my opinion when it arrive here.
I'm still enjoying playing with my Puma TRC Blaze Court because of your teardown review. It's still performs amazing, so bouncy and grips beastly in any court condition. More power to you Doc!
Yeah its tough to find a lot of faults in the newer models - such good design and execution - i almost wish they'd make a few bad ones so people didn't think I was just a fan boy
I love most of the wow shoes. I REALLY wish you could try them on some where. My feet are picky I don't wanna order 4 shoes and have to send back 3. Love these videos and the advancement of the tests. Only shoe reviewer I watch now.
Aww man, I just got my 808 V2’s now you’ve got me wanting a pair of these! Love it, appreciate the thorough reviews you’ve had a hugely positive impact on my basketball shoe purchasing 💪🏾🏀
I was looking hard at these but was scandalized by the cheap price tbqh. I was thinking they must be using cheap materials that won't last long or something. So I held off and go the eAll City 11s Caution and 2 Pair of WOW10s and WOW10Lows. Now I'm thinking I should've gotten a pair. Maybe I sill when more color ways come out even though I love this color way specifically in this type of shoe.
Very interesting, it’s like the reverse of what Nike did with the Lebron 20 using boom instead of zoom but going bottom loaded in the forefoot and top loaded in the heel, which I think may actually function better opposed to bottom loaded heel top forefoot.
Currently breaking in a pair I went TTS on with an E width foot, reeally wishing I'd gone a .5 size up. Not trying to undermine, just giving some anecdotal experience. FYI Way of Wade will only accept unworn returns with tags.
Might seem like a weird request here Zack, but I’d like to see a video on the underarmour project rock. Lifting, training, and short distance running style shoe. Would love to see it cut in half.
hey doc I love your reviews and videos, I noticed on your review of son of flash that you included the fit for the shoes where in it details if the shoes are bad for a person who has bunion feet etc. I hope you always include them on these types of reviews as well. I deeply appreciate it being one of those who has bunion feet
Did not expect these to perform so well! I think I might want to earn for this especially on how similar it is to WoW10 while still having a really low price. This over the KD14s?
Great review Zach. Do you think these might be a good show for playing squash? A ton of lateral movements. But I'm needing something with a better shock absorption than regular squash shoes.
Might be expensive but the heat and cooling test would be so dope and better (I think) with thermal vision. U can see where most heat gets trapped, hot and cool spots, ventilation etc
The 808 2 are great shoes but not bouncy….808 3 ultra seems to improve on that with the carbon fiber shank and plastic stabilizer on the removable boom midsole…waiting for mine to come
I bought 1 pair played in them 3 times outdoor and ordered 2 more,thats how good they r,i think these r better to go with than the wow 10 cause its half the price,it has great ankle support to surprisingly n the cushion is great
Hey Zach can you write a letter to Way of Wade ( And Ling Ni to be safe ) and tell them to keep this shoe exactly This versions build the EXACT same going forward with future ideas.. Please tell them not to mess up a great performance made basketball shoe... PLEASE ZACH 🙏🙏
I'n having a hard time choosing the Fission 8 between the 808 2 v2, the new 808 3 ultra. I always play outdoor as pg or sg cuz there ain't indoor gym around. Do you guys have any advice, thanks!
Worth adding an insole to these for jump performance? I don't feel quite as springy in these as the wow 10 but I don't want to wear those outside like these ones haha
Great review as always Dr Zach 💪🏿🧠💯 Hopefully you could get the Li-Ning Bad Five 3 Ultra, excellent for any ground in or outside 💥🔥☄️ Hes precessor was very darn good BF2, this new BF3 Ultra are even better....
I’m 5’5, 170lbs(77kg). I can consider myself a short, shifty Asian small guard, but a big guard i think due to my weight( but athletic Build) I love to blow by defenders with fast and nimble footwork, fade aways, fast pull up jumpshots. I’ve have the pg6, anta shockwave 5(reg version). I’m considering to buy a fission 8 in “Latte” colorway, i love brown. Due to my playing style description and my condition, the shoes i got(i’ve been carefully choosing after watching more than 20 times of you review videos). Do you think it’ll suit me? And i also play majority outdoor on tennis court, sometimes concrete. Thanh you, keep making videos man, i’ve at least watched over 15-20 times each of your videos. ❤❤❤
Hi, is ankle support okay or is it better to have shoes with mid cut to avoid ankle roll? Or if u have recomended for good for ankle support. Appreciate your expert advice thanks
DOC! i have such a hard time choosing which one should i buy fisssion 8 or all city 12 im 5.10 a wing i need something fast speedy and really bouncy 🙏 thanks
Iam just new on your channel, so this shoes are they probably one of the best to play out side ??, and man i cry when you cut the shoe😢😢, jaja great your channel i love the way that you show the results
Any recommendations for shoelace replacement? The laces on mine tore on day 1 of use and are now close to ripping entirely after a month of use. Side note: the shoelace tore from the shoe eyelet, not from anything else I'm 99% positive. Used for volleyball only as well.
Zach, does it really make a difference in performance between mid top and low top? I want to buy these but I don't know whether to try these or stick with mid tops.
I was choosing between Shock the Wave 6 and Fission 8 Latte and I literally follow all Doc's recommendations and went with Fission. Relatively cheaper but the performance is what I am after. Went half a size down for performance with my medium foot. Cant wait to hoop!
It is, Wade 10 is bouncier but if you’re ever bringing it outside fission 8 over Wade 10. If purely inside then Wade 10s. Surprisingly the Wade 10s are lighter too!
Way of Wade Li-ning & Anta have just been hitting home run after home run, too loaded & bottom loaded carbon fiber shank with that cushion? At that price? And they’ve managed to sneak some premium materials on some of the color ways. 👌
Foot Doctor Zach! My wife is married to her mizunos for indoor volleyball and she wants to branch out for her next pair. Lateral support, grip and bounce are important to her. Any rec’s!?
Do these have a similiar traction in indoors as the 808 and All City, given it is thought for outdoors? Fission 8 is the one I like the most but as it is an "outdoors" shoe and Im going to be playing mostly indoors (rubberized/wood) it makes me think about it twice... Smone help me please
Love the shoes. My son and I both have them. One minor issue is the topmost inner metal rivet (for the shoelace) keeps bending out, resulting in cutting/slicing the opposite leg (near inside of calf). --- Anybody else experience this?
Hello Doc. I’ve been watching you for quite a while and buying basketball shoes based on your reviews. Right now i can only buy a pair, which one would you recommend, Wade Fission 8 or Wade All city 11? I am a guard around 79kgs in weight. Thank you.
Hi @footdoctorzack! I bought these shoes based on your recommendation for outdoor pickleball. I’ve only had them for about 3 weeks and I’ve already worn down the outside edge completely smooth. The courts I play on are just painted asphalt and I’m not a super dragger. Did I get a defective pair? Or is this the durability you are expecting?
As somebody who has an average foot size and wears a 10 true to size, I bought these at size 10 and the fit was VERY tight. I was very disappointed because I can't return/exchange it unless I take a $25 return fee reduction and so I have to wear a thinner sock to barely be able to fit in the shoe.
Hi Zach, huge fan. I am trying to decide between fission 8, all city 11 v2, lebron nxxt gen or lebron 20. I play outdoors but just 3 hr a week. The thing is that if i went only by score this would take the win for sure, but i really dont really see how this are better than the other more expensive models. For reference i am 6'0, 175 and my favorite shoes are the Son of Flash. Also, having the sof, are this kinda of repeating the same model, given the cusion. Thx so much have a great black friday :)
Buy the Fission 8 HERE: geni.us/wayofwade

Dear foot dr, pease try some peak shoes, pretty good performance . Get well soon. Love from Mexico city 🇲🇽
There's Fission 8 on sale here so I have to ask are these for heavier players?
What would be better for shin splints, fission 8 or WOW 10s. I am a real heavier guy that plays PF and get shin splints bad.

I still have my KD14 XDR version. They are just universal bb shoes and the outsole is very durable.
If its good for basketball, its good for volleyball
get well soon doc! great review as always!!

They really need to make shoes with stronger toes guards I keep ripping through them since I be dragging my feet so much

Please do a review Fission 8 vs Son of Flash 😊
Son of flash or fission? Anyone?? I'm playing Volleyball, what shoe suits me?
As always a very detailed review. In the context, they are very reminiscent of wade 10. I had my eye on them for a long time, I will buy them.
Wait till you see Yushuai 16 v2 before you make a decision 😂 youre welcome 😉
amazing review Zach. how is the mid-foot feels like? is it forgiving for fat mid-feet?
Same tots. Would like to know the mid foot for fat/wide mid-feet
I’m in the same boat with Y’all🙂
what’s better if i’m a guard looking for bounce, speed, and protection. the 808 2 ultra v2 OR these fission 8s ?
The 808 2 are great shoes but not bouncy….808 3 ultra seems to improve on that with the carbon fiber shank and plastic stabilizer on the removable boom midsole…waiting for mine to come
@@long8888 thank you i’ll look into them
Would you recommend the Fission 8 over the Son of Flash?
