both my pairs came in. time to pick which one i want.

leatber is good except for on the tongue

noticed both right shoes look a bit long
 
also for the guy who mentioned the aj11 insole both my pairs have that except for one shoe lol

Dude definitely got in my head, my first pair had it too. Then I saw 2 of my others did too when I got them in this week.
 
got damn i already feel a lil pinky toe rub
Did you go TTS?
I learned my lesson with TB3's 2016 and BC 3's 2018 and felt snug. I went a half size up on these and they feel a bit better, but a bit longer. No big deal, I ain't balling with them.
 
Got my second pair from hibbett finally... I'm glad I got two pairs because I was able to take 1 shoe from each pair and keep that and wear it while the other will be kept on ice

one left shoe is perfect shape but the toe box looks a tiny bit more narrow than the other left shoe thats shape is ok

i got decide between comfort or looks😫
 
4 of 6 pairs delivered so far. Based on the EP height from each retailer, which do y'all like the best in order of preference?

Trying to decide the best pair to un-DS :nthat:

They all look pretty much the same and while they are on feet, NOBODY is going to walk up to you and talk about the EP height....

Y'all gotta chill a bit...🤣🤣🤣

EP height is only one factor

There’s other specs and features that are just as important.

With the 4 examples you provided, I would choose DSG left, followed by Champs left. Hibbetts left has a curved midsole and Flight Club left looks like they constructed too low
 
Heh...yeah...it's for the love of the game! Most of us can't talk to our wives/husbands, or even friends about this s**t as they'd ridicule us....NT should be a safe haven for our neurosis over these unimportant (to "normal" people) details, so I say bring it on!

Every time I buy a pair of shoes, no matter what they are my girls says, “ don’t you have those already?” It never fails.

But as far a defects, I realized 20 years ago that we aren’t buying $200 shoes, we are paying $200 for $15 shoes. It’s for the love of the game I guess.
 
one of the pairs the right shoe was heavily creased... Im not big on nitpicking on creases but thats unacceptable for a brand new shoe...
 
got a weird texture on the toebox of one pair. Just the right shoe. That pair also happens to have the nicer EP height though. Pretty much stopped trying to buy 4-5 pairs just to find the perfect pair as I was tired of putting that much energy into it. Lol

Which is exactly why I won’t tolerate anything beyond very small defects/blemishes/etc. If I get a pair with something on it that’s going to bother me, it has to go. We’re already getting bent over on the retail prices, so I’m not nor have I ever accepted just whatever trash is inside any given shoebox when I open it for the first time.
