Hey Zack first of all I love the videos you make and the passion and effort you put into them. I have been looking for a good out door pair of basketball shoes and picked these up on sale recently after trying a few other shoes and watching a bunch of review videos on good outdoor ball shoes. With that being said, when I shoot jump shots in these I feel like I get up easy and feel really good in air even though they aren't all that light, it's like you said the weight distribution is helpful for a basketball jump situation. So when you do your jump height test, you do it while serving a tennis ball, I think if you want to improve on the criteria you're rating you should do it while doing it in the sport it was designed to play in. Hope this comes across as purely conservative but I think taking the average on a rebound or jump shot would make your review of basketball shoes more helpful, rate the jump on that and also keep in mind when landing in basketball you also are landing close to or on top of other people's feet, so feeling secure on landing is also something to consider, it's not the same with serving in tennis. Much love Zack, keep the videos coming!!
I had the vol. 3 and played it on galvanized and it's pretty good. The boost there is awesome. I skipped 4 and 5 because it was too stiff. I'll give vol.6 a try because of the full length boost. Thanks for the vid👍
my foot is 25.5cm long, wide footer 2E. I went true to size on this. Bought 25.5cm size (adidas US men size 8) and WOW! it fits perfectly for a wide footer like me 😍 Foot Doctor Zach LEGIT fit recommendation as for me personally 😊 thank you
I love this shoe, I had to break it in for a few practices but after that they were amazing. Comfort was outstanding and really had me feeling like I was right on the court. Only downside I felt was that I have to wipe it every. single. play. it's a bit annoying but other than that grip is also really good.
I think the shank was similar to harden vol 1 it goes around like number 8 shape, it's only visible in the middle in the cut in a half look. Great Video as always Doc. Thank you
I played with these for the first time yesterday! I dunked with no problem so it didn't effect my bounce more than centimeter or two, but running feels robotic with this shoe. Great grip and durable as hell. For sure buy a half size up if you're even remotely close to being a wide foot, it's a deceivingly narrow shoe.
@@therealvoltix No bro dont size down on this shoe it looks bigger than it fits! If ur feet are narrow it'll probalby fit u well. But ofc try it out before u buy if ur able to!
Super late but when you break in the shoe, the boost gets a lot softer and you can push in on the outsole and feel where the shank is, and turns out it's in an x shape. It seems to go up a pretty good amount into the forefoot on the lateral side, and a little less than that on the medial side. Then only a little bit evenly on both sides in the heel.
Dr., great, informative content. Would you please do a review On the Jordan Russell Westbrook Why Not .5? I have a wide, flat foot, and have worn the .01, .03, and the .04. I’ve yet to buy the Why Not .5 , and it would be awesome to hear your breakdown of them.
I picked up a pair of the Volume 6 for tennis and loved them right out of the box. By the time I was able to get my hands on the Sole Court Boosts, they had discontinued 😢. I have also been playing in the K-Swiss Ultra Shot 3 ‘s and NB Lav 2’s, both are good shoes but the Ultra Shots needed some after market insoles to help sooth my plantar fasciitis (Move Game Days). The Harden Vol 6’s were perfect right out of the box. Comfortable, stable, and most importantly minimal pain in my foot after 90 mins of tennis. I never thought I would find a basketball shoe that works better for me than a dedicated tennis shoe, but the Harden Vol 6’s are the exception to the rule. Boost mid soles have been a favorite of mine since first put on a pair of Barricade Boosts and was the primary reason for exploring the Vol 6’s. Great review, Dr Zach, and thank you for opening my eyes to trying out these shoes for tennis. 👍
Update: I am now up to 3 pairs of the Harden 6’s for my tennis game. Tried them with the Move Game Days and loved the shoe even more. Game Day Pro’s were not as comfortable after 90 minutes of tennis, the regular Game Days keep my feet pain free in the Harden 6’s even when pushed hard for 90 minutes. The only other mod I made to the Hardens was to swap out the laces for longer 63 inch round bubble laces. The tops of my feet come up higher than most shoes are designed for so longer laces allow me to adjust the fit while keeping enough lace to tie off. Not performance related, but I received several compliments from the other players and Tennis Pro the other night in drill. They definitely stand out compared to most tennis shoes. Every time I ran down a ball the running commentary was “Gotta be the Hardens”. 😄
Found some today at Ross for $36 and can’t wait to use these I’ve been watching a lot of reviews and good feedback on the shoe . Check out your local Ross you’ll never know if you’ll find your size
I bought a pair of Harden Vol 6 for tennis and they are great. The Boost foam is easy on my feet, my foot feels secure, and the shoes are nimble around the court.
Doc, the Harden 6's shank isn't just a small midfoot plate. It's a full length shank that is shaped like a figure 8, similar to the Adidas Crazy Explosive's shank. You can even see the upper and lower parts of that figure 8 shank in the cross section view at the forefoot and heel area
I love all the videos you make and I've been pouring hours into learning about the structures of shoes. I was a little confused about these though because in your best of the year video you recommended these for heavy players and centers but on this video it seems like it's more for point guards. I've been trying to find the perfect shoe for me. 270 lb flat foot but agile forward
Hey man awesome review I picked up this pair after watching your review. The shoe really is amazingly comfortable for flat foot guys out there wanting to pick up a nice supportive shoes to ball in, thank you for all your posts and videos. I appreciate you. However quick question, you have any recommendations for the ankle bone being too wide I find the harden vol 6 eating into my ankle? Double sock? Or loosen the lace?
Thanks for sacrificing a shoe for the review! Would you recommend these or the Gel Resolution 8s for tennis? Cushion is the highest priority for me because I want to protect my knees on the hardcourt.
@@FootDoctorZach Wow that's high praise, you seemed pretty high on the Gel Resolutions in your other video. I trust your opinion though, your tennis strokes look great 😁 The outsole rubber looks thinner on the Hardens vs the GR8s, do you think the Hardens will last as long (or decently long)?
I had considered the previous harden for tennis, but didn't like most of the color ways. Unfortunately, this ice cream sundae-looking shoe is putting me off as well. Maybe they'll have a better colorway in future
I'm guessing jump force isn't the first thing Adidas thinks of when designing a shoe for James Harden. It's probably also not a coincidence that Harden's line is the only one that features full-length Boost. It does appear that Adidas managed to fix everything that was wrong with the Vol 5 though..
This is what Harden Vol.5 suppose to be done, Adidas messed that one up (lmao trying to copy Kobe's Lunarlon/ React Midsole), Vol.3 is probably the best Harden's cause it's so lightweight & responsive with thin full-length Boost
You missed the biggest Con. I played in them once and, of course, people stepped on my feet during play. These shoes are UNcleanable. I'm hoping to find a cleaner for them,
I feel like my knees hurt me. I bought it today. It is so comfort but so heavy, and bulky. Will anything change when they are worn out or should I change them?
Love your videos! Do you have any suggestions for a high heel? I am getting some haglunds flaring up in my curry 8’s and going with a thinner insole helped in getting my heel lower in the heel cup in the proper position.
Hey Zach, enjoying the video as always. What would you think about these for tennis? Just seen the Trae Young 1 review and it got me thinking theseHardens looked better as maximalist shoes for tennis than the Trae Young 1. There's no adidas boost tennis shoes left over here in the UK.
Hi Zach! Are you planning on reviewing the new Converse All Star BB Shift? Seems like a good shoe to tear down and investigate, haha. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
This was a really great, informative video! I'm definitely subscribing to the channel! Of i can ask a question: I tend to go up a half size or so to accommodate my wide foot. Would you recommend doing that with these or trying to go true to size?
@@FootDoctorZach FYI to follow up: I went with the size I normally go with and I’ve never felt more supported in a shoe! I think a smaller size would have been tighter everywhere.
I bought the kds for the ankle rolling protection and because im not a high jumper, I’m getting these hardens next. They should be similar to play in as the kds right?
Thanks for these great reviews. I’m a basketball player (guard). My game is more on the point guard shooting side vs athletic wing type. I am recovering from Achilles surgery and wondering if boost or Nike zoom is better for me.
Had a torn achilles as well, def go boost, the shock absorption id off the charts...only down side is boost bottoms out after a few months of regular play...zoom will tend to last a lot longer, and its more responsive, but it dulls the impact a lot less effectively than boost. Bottom line if you care about maximum comfort, go for boost, if you care more about shoe longevity + responsiveness go zoom. Cheers
Hey Zach, great content, I really enjoy your videos. I could not see any suggestions from you for the people with toes with callus (under the toe) and acronyx. This is my biggest issue with any kind of shoe. Callus, I may fix with good socks and orthotics buy not sure how to prevent acronyx. With the pain in the toenail, I feel like no shoe is my size 😂 My foot size is about 28cm in length 11cm in widest part. Today tried harden vol 6 45,5 and I felt like I can even go for 46. Do you think toe protector silicons would help for acronyx? Really appreciate if you could give me some directions. Thanks.
The plate on these actually goes full length, and is almost a figure 8 shape, but you can only see it if you tear it apart top to bottom like a sandwich, not cutting it in half
I'm thinking about buying these to play tennis. Do you think these are too heavy? Pretty sure the cushion and support would be nice but I'm afraid it'll be too clunky
I like these kind of videos. At the same though cutting the shoe in half makes me cringe. 😂 No hate just my opinion. Thank you for these videos, foot doctor Zach. It gives me some knowledge about the different kind of shoe and how its made its really cool! 👍
Seems like they went back to what works after the disaster that was the Harden 5. The lightstrike experiment on the 4 wasn't the best so really glad that they're back to using boost now. I don't really like how they look though but as long as they play well, I might grab a pair
Just got those for 70€ online as last pair which I thought was awsome price. Just hope it dosent kill my feet like dame 3 did (only adidas ba shoe I ever bought before).
I'm still a bit confused about whether these are good for someone with shin splints. You mentioned these are good for impact based pain issues, which I'd say shin splints falls under. But also listed shin splints under the cons of the shoe. Could you clarify what you mean in that part of the video? Thanks for the great review
I have flat feet and have to put in soles on top of my shoes to make my feet not hurt. From a foot doctor perspective, would that negatively affect this shoe’s performance by a lot?
Usually hardens shank is X shaped into the fore and rear foot…I play in the 1s and these seem pretty similar, I’ll probably be stocking up…I’ll take boost over zoom for basketball, zoom is too laggy or Nike implements in it a way that you get zero benefit
bought these recently and I have a wide foot, the hindfoot and forefoot fit great but the midfoot is really tight and uncomfortable and I can't wear them for long. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi Doc, just came back here from your "Ultimate Basketball Shoe Guide". This shoes ticks most of my box, except the narrow feet part. I'm exactly an 8 in length (but I have flat feet tho), is going down half a size for the narrow feet a good move here?
Thanks! You need to do a review on the knives you use to cut these shoes in half LOL.
Haha- also thanks for the Super Thanks!

haha thanks!
I think the shank was similar to harden vol 1 it goes around like number 8 shape, it's only visible in the middle in the cut in a half look.
Great Video as always Doc. Thank you
Harden vol1 is tied with the drose 8 as the greatest court shoe of all time. The solecourt boost would be up there but the toebox is way too roomy.
Interesting!
Yup it is. If you look at the heel and tip of the forefoot at the bottom on the side cut at :39 you can see the infinity shank
I played with these for the first time yesterday! I dunked with no problem so it didn't effect my bounce more than centimeter or two, but running feels robotic with this shoe.

So you can't really run in them?
@@nxtro6243 Since wearing them a bit they've softened up. You definetly can run with this shoe
@Vidar Jobb If I have a narrow/medium foot would you say size down a half then?
@@therealvoltix No bro dont size down on this shoe it looks bigger than it fits! If ur feet are narrow it'll probalby fit u well. But ofc try it out before u buy if ur able to!
@MaVida so regular fit? Like if I wear size 10 in Kyrie 8 and mb.01/02 I go 10 on these? I wear 9.5 on regular shoes.

My favorite shoe since the Kobe 11, no break in for me, and normally I always need to break my in because i have a wide forefoot but this fits perfect
This seems like a good all around shoe. I can see smaller guards or bigger forwards wearing these with no issue
Oh yeah for sure- there’s a huge audience for it
Since I'm 5'11" i think it's gonna be a pretty good shoe for me
A complete 180 turn around from the volume 5. Awesome review
That seems to be the consensus in the comments about the 5 and thank you

Glad they’re working well- not sure tbh, you could try the socks but they may just need more break in or it could just be a mismatch in that area
Daymm Doc, I hope you don't get broke from always cutting these shoes
Haha the revenue from the channel buys the next shoe- just a big cycle
Doc is explaining what is the performance of the shoe
Lmao what u mean? This is actually doc's bread and butter
I think these are great. Full length boost cushioning is still relevant.
Great video as always. Looking forward to your next videos!
Thanks for the kind words 👍👍

Great review. Thank you Doctor
Glad you liked it!
But your reviews are really good, keep it up man
Glad you like them!
Got mine today man i was excited to play with this beasts
My first harden shoe is harden 4. I'll skip the 5s and go for these instead. Tnx for the review Doc
Nice! yeah probably a good idea
just picked up a pair for $68 and I'll be using them for outdoor only
I had considered the previous harden for tennis, but didn't like most of the color ways. Unfortunately, this ice cream sundae-looking shoe is putting me off as well. Maybe they'll have a better colorway in future

The 5 looked good, better than this one. But were stiff
Yeah definitely not made for the verticals - but still a super fun shoe to play in
I feel like theyre reminiscent of the crazy explosive 2017, that said its gonna be a good performer
Should I downsize from 43 1/3 to 42 2/3 because the 43 1/3 is out of stock and choices are either 42 2/3 or 44, what do you suggest pls
Amazing video doc also could you recommend some other good outdoor basketball shoes under 100$ thanks
Hi Doc. Can you do a video with the best tenis for Pickleball please.
ua-cam.com/video/QrQaA8LV_R0/v-deo.html
Lots of helpful info bro. New subscriber here. 👍🏾
Appreciate it!
For you what is better harden vol6? Or PG6?
Thank You from Michoacán México
I am confused between Harden vol 6 zion 2 which one should i buy? (I am flat foot)
Which do you prefer, these or the Dame 8’s? I’m torn on which ones I want to buy.
Personally the dame 8
This is what Harden Vol.5 suppose to be done, Adidas messed that one up (lmao trying to copy Kobe's Lunarlon/ React Midsole), Vol.3 is probably the best Harden's cause it's so lightweight & responsive with thin full-length Boost
Yeah I mean for hoops and tennis/ pickle , full length boost is a great play especially for the non-pro audience
You finally got it 😂, also so if I were to get Hardens would it make sense to break it in on an outdoor court then take it indoor
No man, as a hooper never break in or even play in an indoor shoe outdoors lol. The traction on these look good, you’ll be fine indoors
Yeah I tend to agree if you buy a shoe for indoor use then keep them indoor the outsole will wear better and you won’t rip up the uppers
Kyrie 8 teardown: ua-cam.com/video/rNbwZe1ntMM/v-deo.html
I have chronic plantar fasciitis. Would you recommend these?
4:50
I saw that, but as silly as it may sound, I need a simple yes or no to help me.
I’ve been so caught up on either buying these or the PG 6, which one is better for a average basketball player with more than average athleticism?
Thank you so much
You missed the biggest Con. I played in them once and, of course, people stepped on my feet during play. These shoes are UNcleanable. I'm hoping to find a cleaner for them,

GT cut and LeBron 19 I believe have the highest
Why are they bad for flat foot?
Hey Zach, enjoying the video as always. What would you think about these for tennis? Just seen the Trae Young 1 review and it got me thinking theseHardens looked better as maximalist shoes for tennis than the Trae Young 1. There's no adidas boost tennis shoes left over here in the UK.
they are definitely good for tennis, it is the same type of court
Hi Zach! Are you planning on reviewing the new Converse All Star BB Shift? Seems like a good shoe to tear down and investigate, haha. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Yup!
This was a really great, informative video! I'm definitely subscribing to the channel!
Of i can ask a question: I tend to go up a half size or so to accommodate my wide foot. Would you recommend doing that with these or trying to go true to size?
I went true but some people have been saying they’re running more medium these days - not sure if they changed tooling or what
@@FootDoctorZach FYI to follow up: I went with the size I normally go with and I’ve never felt more supported in a shoe! I think a smaller size would have been tighter everywhere.
@@KurellJyou went a half size up?
Which do you prefer indoor harden vol 4 or harden vol 6
Hey Doc what do you think of Wrapped midsoles on some shoes like The T Mac line
They have their place- not something id be in all the time though
I bought the kds for the ankle rolling protection and because im not a high jumper, I’m getting these hardens next. They should be similar to play in as the kds right?
Yup id say pretty similar - more nimble
This is how basketball shoes should be reviewed. New subscriber here. Good job. 👌
Thanks!
There is lightstrike as well in the outsole
What is the best between pg 6 and harden vol 6?
Depends what you want out of it
Thanks for these great reviews. I’m a basketball player (guard). My game is more on the point guard shooting side vs athletic wing type. I am recovering from Achilles surgery and wondering if boost or Nike zoom is better for me.
probably one with good cushion
Boost is better for shock absorption but it depends on your foot type
@@FootDoctorZach good to know. Thank you very much for the response as well as great content.
Good luck with your Achilles recovery!
Had a torn achilles as well, def go boost, the shock absorption id off the charts...only down side is boost bottoms out after a few months of regular play...zoom will tend to last a lot longer, and its more responsive, but it dulls the impact a lot less effectively than boost. Bottom line if you care about maximum comfort, go for boost, if you care more about shoe longevity + responsiveness go zoom. Cheers
Why you don't recommend these for people with shin splints? I tought these would be good because of boost absorbing hard hits.

maybe moleskin
@@FootDoctorZach tried this last night and it worked out great!!!! What would you say is better Harden 6, jordan zoom separate or Pg6???

No clunkier than the solecourts
Hey doc, I have a 26.5cm long and extra wide (4E) foot, should I go with 8.5US or 9US for these?
I like these kind of videos. At the same though cutting the shoe in half makes me cringe. 😂 No hate just my opinion. Thank you for these videos, foot doctor Zach. It gives me some knowledge about the different kind of shoe and how its made its really cool! 👍
Its like you want to look away...but cant
@@FootDoctorZach Lmao, pretty much!
Iv always wore bad shoes and could still dunk this won't make my vertical worse will it?
Are the translucent ones good for outdoor as well, I’ve heard that adidas semi translucent is a bit stronger than nikes
Seems like they went back to what works after the disaster that was the Harden 5.
The lightstrike experiment on the 4 wasn't the best so really glad that they're back to using boost now. I don't really like how they look though but as long as they play well, I might grab a pair
Yeah my wife doesn't like the look- im a fan personally but yeah the style is pretty out of the box
They should go with semi caged lightstrike pro
Nice performance
could I ask you if it's possible to review the most breathable basketball shoe? They all tend to make your feet so hot and sweaty.
Just got those for 70€ online as last pair which I thought was awsome price. Just hope it dosent kill my feet like dame 3 did (only adidas ba shoe I ever bought before).
Sir. Is this better than trae young 1 for ankle sprainer?
I'm still a bit confused about whether these are good for someone with shin splints. You mentioned these are good for impact based pain issues, which I'd say shin splints falls under. But also listed shin splints under the cons of the shoe. Could you clarify what you mean in that part of the video? Thanks for the great review
Good for shin splints with a higher arch not so much a flatter one- sorry just didn’t clarify on both videos
I'm a 4e on both feet would it be advisable to go up half a size if I am unable to try on in store?
I have flat feet and have to put in soles on top of my shoes to make my feet not hurt. From a foot doctor perspective, would that negatively affect this shoe’s performance by a lot?
I have mega flat feet and I love them
Can you do the Adidas Crazy 1 or T-Mac Restomod?
finally...full length boost is back ✌️
So comfy
Hey show do you suggest them for indoor basketball . Im like a 16 years old point guard with 44 size
Usually hardens shank is X shaped into the fore and rear foot…I play in the 1s and these seem pretty similar, I’ll probably be stocking up…I’ll take boost over zoom for basketball, zoom is too laggy or Nike implements in it a way that you get zero benefit
Yeah they're just made for totally different things -boost does a lot for the bottom of the foot
i have the dame certified in a size 9.5. should i get the same size for these? or go down to a 9. i have a medium foot
So are you saying this shoe will hinder my hops?
Is it good for outdoors?
thx doc
Best jumping shoes for wide footers?
Im a volleyball player who plan to use adidas for playing. Im thinking of getting harden 6. Was it really heavier compare to 5?
I don’t have the 5’s weight specs unfortunately
what shoes can you recommend for big guys? thank you in advance!

Can anyone compare Harden 6 to Harden 2 please?
Facts the 2s are my favorite harden and these sound similar
the range of emotion you went through is actually so funny @7:09
lol- that was the 3rd time that had happened that day
i think this is good for rubber and painted court right?
What are good basketball shoes that can help jumping? Not the APLs
wade 808's i guess
bought these recently and I have a wide foot, the hindfoot and forefoot fit great but the midfoot is really tight and uncomfortable and I can't wear them for long. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi Doc, just came back here from your "Ultimate Basketball Shoe Guide". This shoes ticks most of my box, except the narrow feet part. I'm exactly an 8 in length (but I have flat feet tho), is going down half a size for the narrow feet a good move here?
I would have said yes but I’ve heard they’re running a bit more true now so I’m at a bit of a loss - if it’s me I’m going true but that’s just me
Thank you so much Doc
Harden 6 or Dame 8? Please
