| Does anybody know any shoes that have came out recently that run wide? And if anyone has the Huarache 09 are they good for ball? |

I think I'd fall into the freedom category, I hate something pressed up against my arches. |
So, I read up on flat feet, and basically you shouldn't go too soft, so the ultra-lights, like Hyperdunks, or Kobe's wouldn't be good for your feet.
Officially NB, and adidas got the best properties for flat-feet, because they use motion control features from their running shoes, that keep your feet from collapsing when pussing off, most Nike Shox are also good.
And a lot of guys I know really like Jordans, and Team Jordans, they don't have high-archs(Team J's even less arch than J's usually), and are strong enough in the mid-foot, and have a lot closer fitting toe-boxes than the Wade's, the Soldier II's are really good(I don't know about the Soldier III exactly, but if they're similar to the II's, they're gonna be good), and all of them, got pretty good durability outside.

| ^thanks a lot, I know about the motion control stuff, so I'll start looking at some Jordans and get back to you guys. I feel that using the CP3.II is a waste on the outdoor courts, but currently thats my 1st option, although I have heard of issues with the heat inside the shoe |

Heat in the CP3.II isn't really bad. While it is not the most breathable shoe, I would certainly put it in the middle of the pack. I don't necessarily feel like it is dramatically different than say a Kobe IV or Soldier III.

I've had it a few months, and haven't played in it outside (shot around, just not played it it outside). I've been alternating between the CP3.II and Flight Club. Normally the Flight Club gets worn for outdoor ball

V's are heavier than hyperdunks but lighter than most lebrons. they have "bouncy" zoom units. the fit of the shoe is good with or without the strap but i play with it on. all around good shoe especially for the money since you can get em real cheap.

| What's the best way to test a shoe in store? Run in it? Light basketball cuts? Do you guys have any specific tests you run your shoes through in store? |

How do the Zoom LeBron V and the Jordan XIV compare?
The XIV fit me perfectly, but I need new shoes and the ZLV can be had for a decent price.
Thanks. |
