@@merc7paulHell No this man is spot on Chuck Taylors are horrifyingly uncomfortable. Not only are they brutal on your feet, they also start hurting your knees. If you’re looking to end up getting early knee replacements just wear Chuck Taylors 😂
you and your video are top their bro you were one of ppl that put me on to NB and 99x models in particular the 990 v6 and 991 that v6 is crazy comfortable! plus after getting questionable QC from nike it's refreshing to see a brand that has such high quality materials on there products! keep killing it !!
Love the video Hes. I literally bought the 990v6 yesterday, put them on feet straight out the store and rocked it for an hour and half walk straight. Loved it.
As said previously. Boost feels different depending on implementation. For example the nmd s1 is so so comfortable. Soft but somehow firm. Perfect blend.
With regard to boost, it's really multiple different implementations of it that provide very different experience on feet. The original Ultraboost/DNA is much softer than the current 21/22 - will be interesting to see how the 23 pans out. But boost on the EQT was crazy soft, not that far off ZoomX foam in many good squishy ways. Boost HD was actually the firmest boost - pretty mediocre in my opinion, but am sure many loved it. Boost is a family of midsole tech that gives you varied experiences on foot.
I'm a fan of the current boost more. I think it will hold up better in the long run. Using it at first it feels stiff and uncomfortable but within a mile it kind adjusted to my foot. Standing in the 22s is weird though I feel wobbly in the heel.
I found Adidas Pro Model 2 a great shoe for comfort. And they're affordable so you don't have to worry about getting them dirty at work. The Bounce foam lasts longer than boost too.
chuck 70s have a more comfortable insole and vans skate versions of old skool, authenic, era, etc. have a pop cush insole thats very comfortable for all day wear. dunk sb > jordan 1 > gr dunks
I’ll take a pair of classic Vans any day over Chuck Taylor’s. I find Chuck Taylor’s to be extremely uncomfortable do to the amount of foot and knee pain they cause.
I am a social dancer (Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba) I love the Puma Suedes silhouette. They do not have bits sticking out so I know exactly where my foot is so that I don't step on a lady's foot. The outsole is not very grippy (which is something I look for so I can do a spin) When I need to do a weight transfer the flat bottom works for me being able to keep a balance. I can dance for hours and come back home and even though my feet are a bit sore it is mainly because I danced for hours and not the shoes' fault. As much as I like the max cushion running shoes - the grip and the squishiness are negatives for social dancing.
When I want something a little bit more firm, I really like the Asics Gel-Lyte's I have... I have a couple pair of 1, 3, and 5's and they're all comfy. Also most of Saucony's original collection that includes the jazz and grid 9000's have been comfy for me.
Thank you for this video. I personally HATE super squishy shoes. Even walking through the parkade to my car every morning I hated the feel of my Ultraboosts. I understand some people like that "walking on clouds" feeling but personally it felt super unstable especially with the knit upper.
Fam, I just throw in/replace cushy insoles to offset the discomfort of a chuck. Also I usually opt for the skate version of most classic staples: CTS Cons instead of classic chuck.
AF1 have more "air" than Js1 right? But still made my knees and leg hurt after a day at the mall. Either I'm too familiar or used to my boost or react shoes or im just old lol. I still like AF1s over Js. Js looks too narrow and uncomfortable for my foot type
Love your vids Hes and this is another good one. But…lol the Nike General Purpose show is generally unattainable for the general population. Us normal folk can’t get them unless you want to pay triple the original price. Pass. And I agree with other comments Chucks should never be in anything with comfort in the title. The shoe I’d add to the list is the On cloudflow. Pretty firm cushion and little drop. My favorite shoe right now
Some corrections: - The New Balance 550, Adidas Forum and Superstars don't have a solid rubber out/midsole, they have a foam midsole - Converse All Stars and Vans don't have a thick midsole, they don't actually have a midsole at all, just a rubber outsole and an insole - Jordan 1s and Nike Dunks don't have the same mid/outsole, Jordan 1s have a small air bubble in the heel while Dunks have a foam midsole
As someone with a hella wide feet, i'll put aj1 in number 10 and new balance 990 on number 1 while 2002r on number 2. Aj1 are really uncomfortable to me meanwhile i can use my 990v5 all day. I still like 2002r but it cant beat 990v5 based on my personal experience.
Bro I would never associate Chuck Taylor’s and Air Force Ones with being comfortable 😂 Chuck Taylor’s cause major foot pain and will result in getting early knee replacements. While Air Force Ones feel like clunky bricks on the feet.
Hello Hez, I was wondering if you can do a video on comfortable insoles. I love the cushy feel of the Rebel V3, 1080v12. But I also like the stability of the shoes like the 990v6, Adidas Ozrah. I wonder if I can make make my 990v6 and Ozrah be more comfortable with nice insoles. I value your import because I think we have the same type of feet and body mass. Out of all the reviewers, I value yours the most.
I love the comfort on my 574 Newbies. I started wearing new balance last year to be different from the hype. So since last summer I started with 327s then 574 ruggeds then 574 conversations amongst us JFGs and more to come. And please let these kids know the difference between retro runners and dad shoes.
Agree on the 550, the 990s, the AF1s and the Superstars, totally disagree on the Chuck Taylors, they are horrendous. Another ones that i find super comfy are the Air Max 1s and the 90s
I skater. Ican guarante the vans slip on hurts. you step on a rock you feel it. you step on a coin. you feel it. your phone falls on your foor/shoe. it hurts. They can be good for skateboarding, sometimes, sure, but to walk around it's a bad shoe. have you tried it?
My feet require a firm midsole and a outersole with almost zero flexibility. I've been a New Balance dad shoe guy for years and years and years until the technology changed and the brand got trendy. I love me some dad shoes. I'm wearing Rebook Zig Dymanica, Adidas Oz's, Puma Cell technology shoes.
That general purpose shoe is kinda a grail for me, I still wish it was lower in price. I like the whole trail to town type of mentality and seems like you used it exactly for that. Adidas really is underappreciated. If I had to swear loyalty to a shoe brand it'd be them. They seem to experiment with more stuff and have stuff up my alley of trail to town.
i guess not all feet are created equal.. having currently about a hundred over sneakers in my current rotation, i ordered two pairs of Jordan 1s last year in the low and mids form and it was one of the most uncomfortable shoes i ever tried on... Stiff toe box with little breathability. Good thing I could return them. I also have AF1s which i could live with but wont put them near a list of most comfy sneakers... From my experience with Nike i would rate the Reacts and the Roshes as the most comfy... the Waffle 1s also decent in that department. Yes the New Balance of course. I have the 990 v5 and v6 and either will be my gotos for an upcoming long distance travel.
im with u i guess because of my wide feet jordan 1s are super uncomfortable. Maybe i have to try upsize from my usual size for aj1 but after using 990v5 for 1 year now, I can say that 990v5 > AJ1 always. Super comfortable even after using it for the whole day
Try puma trinomic or trc... I will cash app you personally if they don't make it in your top 10 😂😂😂 they easily more comfortable than the 7 of 10 I own on the list
Do people really enjoy on feet or just like the look? I love the 550 aesthetic and am tempted to buy...but I know from adidas that allthem flats kill my feet!
