Do Sneaker Shields actually work for shoes? Or are they just a gimmick?

that guy with the cracked plats just told me he only wore them 3 times...
and he only weighs 175lbs...
that's not good...
and i use sneaker shields for certain shoes, and yes, they definitely do work (my 2001 black cement 3's i unDSed last year would be super creased if i hadn't used them)...
they're the most comfortable tho on shoes you either bought slightly too big, or they have roomy toe boxes... even if you cut the sides so your pinky toe doesn't hit up against it, sometimes they're just not comfortable at all (i wouldn't waste my money on the version they sell at footlockers tho, apparently after time they end up bending and creasing anyways, and i found them more uncomfortable)...

To me, they work on a fair amount of shoes. They are not full-proof as they basically just extend the length of where the natural points of articulation on a shoe are(i.e. the toe-box). I think it was my Anniversary IVs that had weird creasing imprints due to these. They ended up being farther back where the Sneaker Shields ended as opposed to the toe-box area. Not bad, but not good either. However, they are much better as well as transferable than that of the Force Fields. The only form of adjustments I've made to mine have been trimming them a bit lower to accommodate the profile of most of my shoes...

After hearing and seeing these chipping and pealing problems, it's going to be very hard for me to buy these for what resellers are asking. They would have to come way down. I'm in no hurry to drop a bunch of cash on these when other great releases are still ahead.

What was he doing though? Casual wear? running? Because I'm on worn several times and no peel or chipping.Originally Posted by DJ Proto J

I've used them numerous times and yes they do work. But they are very uncomfortable and I've even trimmed them to fit my feet exactly as they should within the shoes. I've used these in kicks that are slightly to big, to prevent crazy creases and these joints work beautifully. I end up doing duck walks though, and the pain was just too much so I stopped using mine a few months ago.

As soon as these hit my door step I left the box closed and sOld them. About 4g's for two pairs of shoes= no brainer. I like the shoes but not that much, I'm also not a fan of West. Hearing about the cracking paint is just sad, but you beasts don't care anyway, you guys will buy anything.

Talk like that, like sneaker collectors are crack heads, is exactly why I refuse to spend money w/ resellers I don't know. The price alone is disrespectful, but the "these cats will buy anything" mentality behind it is even more disrespectful.Originally Posted by verysteri otypical

so pay $100 for these, or $1500 for the authentic pairs?
I'm gonna guess that the majority of Yeezy 2's that I see in real life will be pictured above

I follow a lot of tech channels that do unboxing vids and reviews and a few sneaker cats. So I guess this is sort of like the sneaker community's version of unboxings and reviews?
