@@rodrigovillegas2263don’t worry bud, once you get an adult job you’ll realize the price for these shoes isn’t too bad at all compared to the other shoes Steve shows on his channel.
They were marketed towards people like me who are disabled and struggle with shoes, but then they make the price so affordable you have to be fully healthy and working 3 jobs to pay for them 😂
@@idkwatimdoing8 that's a standard living wage where I live and its barely enough to cover rent nevermind extras like shoes that cost a few hundred bucks. I'm failing to see what your point is.
@@KimmySaurusRex44have you been successful finding them secondhand or a dupe version. I completely agree though, it should t be possible to charge someone more simply for having different needs for the average person smh
@@forlexer I said it "looks" like a prototype, as in cosmetically. But really, does it look like they were extensively tested? One heel-check and both you and your shoe go flying.
@@markkealy4417 Fair enough. Still, I figured a company like Nike would make the shoes look less half-assed, but it seems like they understand that with their recent models of the shoes.
This would be really useful to accomodate the people who need it if it WASN’T SO OVERPRICED Someone please steal this idea and make it affordable I don't want these shoes to stay a gimmick for rich people but actually help others
Apparently, I heard that the idea came about when a person suffering from cerebral palsy complained to Nike that putting on regular shoes was requiring him to routinely ask for help from carers. Nike listened to the suggestion and developed these, so that people with disabilities could just slip into the shoes, without needing to use their hands.
It does not. Had one pair for 2 years, even played tennis with them. Had to give them away because my feet are wide and it was tight even a number larger
Not at all, my elderly grandmother has trouble pulling slip-ins on and often needs help or a shoe horn. A disabled friend of mine owns these due to his condition making a firm grasp impossible. They are far more suitable for many conditions.
Oh God I need those so bad. After my car accident last year it's become a chore to try to bend over to tie my shoe strings. Before the accident it was no problem.
I can definitely see this shoe just randomly "breaking" during an evening run and causing me to fall. Not for me, but I'm sure someone out there will find it useful
These aren't running shoes in the first place. They're specifically designed for people who have such limited mobility that they benefit from slip on designs
