yeah they do. after a few months they finally did have that good traction.
I always clean the soles sparingly before I play tho

a little water and a paper towel/old towel/or old shirt, quick wipe will do wonders between games on hardwood

Do they fit true to size? Hows the fit compared to the IV? Thanks.

Bought these for my 13 year old son and I can now confirm that the traction does improve after several wears, although not sure how a dirty floor would be. His first practice, he was slipping on hard cuts, but now he doesn't. Played a 5 game tournament, and he loves them.

Fit is the same as the IV..go half a size up in most cases.

Great, thanks. Still deciding between these and the VI. The heel slip on the VI is a big issue for me.

^^? what do u mean by ankle support? there's enough ankle support in the shoes, support comes from how well your heel is locked down and the stability of the forefoot hence the outtrigger... in ANY shoe you'll sprain your ankle in certain circumstances but when this was my primary shoe in the rotation last year i never sprained an ankle and even though i'm a small 5'5 pg i liked to use my speed and quickness to get ot the basket and then crash the boards.... if you're talking about additional support braces/tape, it's all personal preference

yeah, no need for ankle support man. unless you really really want to. but it's more than enough
(and safe) to play in these alone.

Ordered some Inlines, hope these perform just like the IVs.
