*Experiment*
I've made it well known that the cushion on these shoes as absolutely dog water. Such shame considering that everything else from lockdown to traction is top tier.
I was cleaning up and I found these.. completely forgot I had them. I put them in the shoes and they were too big, ok np.. I trimmed the sides, forefoot and heel area so it would sit properly in the shoe, and the fit is pretty much perfect.
It made the shoe ever so slightly tighter due to the height but this should force the rest of the materials in the shoe to expand a bit more and *should* get better the more I wear them. Initial try on the shoe feels much better and I don't feel any instability.. even with the extra thickness it didn't make them uncomfortable at all. I'll give them a go later this week when I have a game.
I searched my gmail and I bought them for $10 back in 2013. Unfortunately, I see similar products on ebay for $50+ now because, you know
greed, I mean inflation! Quick search on aliexpress has more options for around $10.
