I have plantar fascitis and am flat footed. I have tried over 5 shoes. I wear men size 14 and drive uber. My car pedal sits low. The only shoe that hasn't hurt my foot has been the Lebron Wtiness 6 but it is too tight around my toe and ankle and was cutting off circulation in my leg. With these Lebron 19 being low top do you think would have more toe room? What basketball shoes would you recommend? I have a pair of saucony's but the sole hurting my feet. Brooks sole hurting feet as well.
But it definitely does NOT once you put them on your feet. Lol They are such a small tiny shoe , that if you're a big guy or just have a big thick build ........ They look totally ridiculous on you.. They're just too low and cut down.
@@FootDoctorZach Great review. Everything was truthful about the shoes. Except I didn't see anything about the lockdown of the shoe. I just bought a pair , mostly gawd on your review, and it's a totally perfect fit for my foot ..... BEFORE I move around in them and try to play ball. My foot moves around a lot and I feel almost ZERO lockdown.
the reason why maneuvering lebron 19s low takes the extra skill, which required to not be slow with the foorwork, is probably because nike decided to have almost the entire forefoot react foam to expand- except the lateral cage and a small shank in the mid foot. from what i have learnt from the Jordan 36s performance review, lebron 19s low literally doesnt have any speed features from the 36s- no zoom no mid foot plate energy storage. Nike really decided to have Nike React foam to "manage" all the forefoot tasks in the lebron 19s low. it is interesting decision coming from Nike this time. if you looked at the curry line, Curry Flow 9 even extend to shank toward the forefoot. Which Nike def couldn't do because the Air Unit messed up with the engineering of energy transfer. the Unique aspect of this set up is just like how you play tennis, you have that extra time when you store energy from the ground up before you decide how to hit the ball- hence you can slide or take turn with more time on mind. this can apply to any 2 feet plant and finish moves in basketball- biggest pros is that you have more control in case an external force from defender interupt your motion. Basically Lebron- as skillful as he is, can have the option to jump less fierceness high to finish the play, he can just maneuver around with the option of rapidly changing direction under both feet with ease on both time and body. But still the biggest cons is that this shoes still "slow" your footwork lol. Cant wait to snag these 19s low, the biggest downside is the price, literally if these goes 120 it will be such a value to invest, maybe a little better traction too. anyway i'll be damned if Nike comes up with a system that makes React Foam explosive just like how Jordan 36 store n transfer energy and have all the good aspects required from a well received basketball shoes. BRING BACK KOBES :'(
Thanks for you review 😉 always interesting 🙂 what about sizing? I ordered my size and it's unwearable (too tight). So I ordered a 1/2 size up plus a full size up. Difficult to choose between the 2 paires. I'm still a bit tight on the 1/2 size up but wonder if they are going to go larger after wearing them a few times. If I go a full size up I'm afraid they end up to large after a few wear. What do you think? Thank 😃
Always a comprehensive review that covers all I need to know about a new shoe.I think i will pass on these Lebrons as I am prone to ankle sprains. Thanks for the great review Doc.
@@FootDoctorZach Hi,Doctor Zach..can you tell me which one is better for knee protection ? Lebron 18 low, lebron 19 low, or nike gt cut ? Or any recommendation ? I prefer low cut shoes..thankyou so much
@@AlphAriesBoyz666 Either of the lebrons u can pick based on looks gt cuts have good bounciness but they are really low to the ground and after a couple of hours your knees will hurt
@@FootDoctorZach Would you recommend this over the high for an older guard like me, not too shifty anymore, need a ton of cushioning to lessen the jarring impacts of running and jumping to the knees, or do you suggest I go for the highs? I'm 5'7" 176, which is about 30 lbs over my ideal playing weight.
@@streakshooter2357 I'm a young guy but I can tell you I just got a pair and they give really good support to my feet, those pads on the Achilles tendon saved me a sprain. That being said I am also a little on the skinny side, so wait and see what doctor Zach says.
@@streakshooter2357 I got the lows, and I found that they had good lateral movement when done up properly. Would highly recommend getting other laces if you purchase like zach said.
Hi doc, awesome review. Im planning to get the 19 lows and will take your advice on changing the laces using your link. Question tho, what is the length of the laces you got for these? Thank you!
I’ve already got the lows, they’re amazing! I didn’t want to get the highs because I run fastbreaks and I think the highs will stop me from running faster, anyways, great review! Thanks for the video!
I actually like how these lock your feet in. If you have midfoot issues like plantar fasciitis, these will feel good because they're also pretty stiff. I also like how wide the heel is so even with the air pockets back there it offers stability. At least with me that's the case. I have two pairs of the lows
I'm late but have been waiting for the low 19. A1 review. I really like the look of it compared to the high. Have a handful of 18s and 18 lows. I've always enjoyed the cushion set up in the LeBron, I don't mind sitting up high on these doesn't bother me but looks like I'll pass on the 19 and shoot for a pair or 2 of the 19 lows. Once again an amazing review love your presentation!
Hello , great review but I have some question , does the bubble is resistant or no? I play on tar ground and i want to know if the bubble will not explose in 2 month :)
I saw no mention of the lockdown in this video!!! Just bought them based on THIS video and the lockdown totally SUCKS . My foot is not secure in it and moved around a lot Other than that , it's a perfect fit.
Zach, would it be possible for the LeBron 19 Lows to give me peroneous longus pain with their high stack height through the heel and mid foot? I’ve played in these for 4 days and that muscle is SUPER tender. I remember your review on the Zoom Freak 3s, and you mentioned the stack height in those could cause ankle/Achilles discomfort, and some of your viewers mentioned their calves hurting after playing in them. I figure the 2 shoes could be related with this similar problem. Thanks for any insight you can give!
No way. In the gym, especially at squads and deadlifts, you need a lot of contact to the Floor. That way your body ist more stable und you prevent injury’s. I do really heavy squats and deadlifts and always do it without shoes or in powerlifter shoes. Those Lebrons are the worst thing u can imagine for those exercises.
Another great review. Please do a performance review on the New Balance Kawhi 2s. I'm curious about that Fuel Cell foam and if it feels anything like Nike React or Puma's Nitro Foam.
which cushioning set up is better? the PG6 or the Lebron 19 low? I have bad knees but i love playing basketball. I love the cushioninng on the lebron 17 lows (which are the ones i wear) but lebrons are always bulky and heavy. so i was wonderinng. pg6 vs LBJ 19low (and perhaps even vs KD15?)
Eyy. Just in time! I just got my hands on a pair of Lebron 17s. It's my first Lebron's since the 9s and I loved the cushion on feel on foot. I've been looking at these on the Nike store for a while now, because I'd love to try out other Lebrons on court.
That's been my problem with lebron's as far back as the 13. They just run narrower than other models, and it's a reason lebron doesn't always favor even his own shoes. I think Nike assumes that his kicks need to be narrow because of how high the cushioning makes them; it adds stability. Believe me, I want to like them but the tightness always makes me regret it when I do.
The Low’s suit me way better than the hightops which I used for 7+ years cuz they were the only basketball shoes I had. Yes I’m light but these feel real smooth moving up and down the court
How do you feel they stack up against prior models? I found the 17 high great but the 17 low and 18 had really wide toes and my foot just slid around. The 18 was also just really uncomfortable so the 18 low and 19 high I’ve avoided.
I'm a fat guy who bought these just for everyday use and they actually healed the plantar fasciitis I suffered in my right foot. I've had a few other basketball shoes for the same reason, but I really liked these because they didn't feel too soft under my foot and felt otherwise quite supporting. Trying to find a new pair of basketball after there is a pain in the butt because I don't play and I don't really know why these are perfect for me, or at least I don't know what to google to find similar shoes. 😄
Hmm just bought these and fortunately for me, my playing days are over, soo i'll just be stylin around in these, or wearing them on the dance floor 🤣 ...Great job Sir. 👍🙂
I just got two pairs - each at $60. And god I love how much tech the Lebron’s have in them. I wish Nike would add that Achilles cat tongue to the KD sneaker line.
Just watching the video now and weung you take a shot , i can see the uppers skiding abd moving on you. Yu should have made a way way WAY bigger deal about the HORRIBLE lockdown issue in these !!! Scared to badmouth Nike ????
I really don’t like how you spent 200 dollars and cut them but I just like he spent money for us to know if it good or not I hope you subscribe and like for him
nike if you are watching you gonna really stop cheapen on your outsoles. weak material, flimsy design. they are out in a couple of weeks and I need to buy new shoes., new non nike shoes.
"Because these shoes are definitely gonna kinda showcase your shortcomings in your footwork..." Well LeBron is definitely not known for his footwork so... 😆

Hi Doc, as always you are the benchmark for all shoe reviews. Have you ever compiled a list of BBall shoes that also work for tennis?
Thanks! Not to date just because there are so few
My doc recommended for knee pain and literally same day pain was gone it takes away alot of the ground impact

All over the place
@@kingjon5818 old comment…..
The first Lebron Lows I like in a long while. Super comfy too!
So, what did they do different with the outsole on the low. I remember you saying that the highs do not grip well during lateral movements.
Just a lighter shoe so less to control

The 19 low feels so much better than the 18 low
Hello , great review but I have some question , does the bubble is resistant or no? I play on tar ground and i want to know if the bubble will not explose in 2 month :)
I saw no mention of the lockdown in this video!!!
Just bought them based on THIS video and the lockdown totally SUCKS .
My foot is not secure in it and moved around a lot
Other than that , it's a perfect fit.
great review and love the colorway.
Which shows are best for dunking. I can dunk not consistently but wanna do I wear these or the highs?

Hey, i was wondering if u could do a video on the new balance kawhi 2

Dr Zach , if you always cut in half your shoes, what do you use to play basketball ? Do you have a fix rotation or you always buy new shoes to review?
99% of the time its in a shoe im reviewing - i have a pair of PG6's thats about it
Beautiful slide .. can’t believe a slider basketball shoes is this one.. damn.. wish is other model .
Can we get a video on the new kawhi 2's that just came out
I know it's off topic, but do you know what shoes is similar to the yonex pc fusion rev 3? I can find this shoes anymore .
Aside from the 4’s not really
Could you bring an analysis of this freak 3??
These look so nice.. I was wondering would they make a gd gym sneaker (squats, leg press, deadlift etc)
No way. In the gym, especially at squads and deadlifts, you need a lot of contact to the Floor. That way your body ist more stable und you prevent injury’s.

Are they light and would you go with these or the pg6
Weights are in the videos and it’s just personal preference - I like the pg but that’s just me others would argue that
Good for back and knee pain...The cushion of the shoe?
Depends on what’s causing it but airmax is great for shock absorption which alot of people w knee back and neck pain appreciate
The weight reduction compared to the 19 high is key. How do they compare?
All the stats are in the videos
@@FootDoctorZach Oh my bad, I missed the weight stat during the midsole bit.
So it's 468g vs 593g, thank you.
to be honest the lebron 19 low poped up my memory of another James. The design really looks like James Harden vol 1 by any means lol.
