    I am looking to purchase some new basketball shoes does anyone here have any recommendations on what shoes they like and are comfortable?

    i've actually liked some of the tmacs in the past but i dont know about this years adidas model that is the same. I havent tried them on yet going some places tomorrow but was hoping some kind folks here could recommend something so I can ask the people at the shop for a particular model.

    thanks!

    The old LerBons were pretty damn comfy. I dunno about the new ones. You might wanna try.

    ive heard that the new tmacs arent very comfortable at all. I have the t-mac 6's for sale in the buy/sell thread. They are, without a doubt, the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I promise that you wont regret it. Anyway, let me know.

    I can confirm this... I bought the new T-Macs for this year (the ones that are teh same for all players just with little changes) and they're nice, but the back of the shoes cuts in towards my foot waaay too much and rubs my Achilles tendon... it's a pain while wearing them and I have a nice little bump on each foot there now. Saw another kid wearing them at Gregory one day and he had the same thing, it was his first day wearing them and they had rubbed the back of his Achilles raw. :( I had the T-Mac 5's, loved them and wore them till they fell apart...What a let down

    You should get the ones of your favorite player because then you will then be able to play just like them.

    Notice: buying a shoe endorsed by a player will not give you any of their abilities.
