I've got some Dutch wooden shoes from Holland. My feet were bleeding ten seconds after I tried them on.
One of the worst bball shoes I've worn for a long time were the TMac 4.5. They always caused the bridge of my soles to be sore because the shoe was stiff and the back support began to rub after a while. It was probably because of the weird no-lace design but I thought I could play like TMac when I wore them so not much of a loss, hehe... I heard the best bball shoes are the Nike huaraches, light and comfy. I still havn't found "the" shoe yet. =[
new balance ftw! New balance shoes are soooo springy and lightweight when ur running with them...you can literally feel yourself bounce
