Pinky toe pain from stealth XX3. Any one have long term problems?

[axelfoley5]

had that problem with my Stealths. wore them for the first time a month ago, pain got so bad that I had to take the shoe off and wear flip flops I had in mybookbag. hopefully that first wear broke them in a bit, because I want to wear them again (sans pinky toe pain) and couldn't see myself selling them.

it sucks to have wide feet

I had that problem the first couple of times I wore mine, but this last time I wore them there was no pain. I think it just depends on the shoe.

 

[Magic33]

No, can't say I had a problem with any of mine

This is a stealth xx3 problem that many ppl have complained about. I recall someone on here saying there were playing bball and getting his sockbloodied

My feet are not fat nor wide and I purchased .5 size bigger. And this is a LEFT pinky toe problem that everyone is complaining about as I. It is obviously thestealth XX3 is flawed.
As for NBA players playing for hours
1- how many of them wear stealths?
2- they are not purchased at a store, but specially made to fit perfectly to their feet

well over this holiday break I just copped a pair of Stealths for $125

but the last size was 9.5.. which is a .5 size smaller than my avg 10..
I also have a wide foot, so I made the mistake of not trying them on before buying..

at first they were extremely tight, causing pinky toe pain for sure.. but w| the insoles out, I think it was a good cop.

I have this same problem with my Stealth's..after a few hours or more..i feel this pain in my pinky toe and i start walkin all penquin like..itsucks..cause it hurts like crazy..i have to take 'em off to lessen the pain a bit..

The XXIII's hurt my pinky toes period!! every color!!!!

 

[marqueemark]

you know whats the solution on it?.. its either put holes on the kix for the pinkies of cut your pinkies..period..

 

[micheal623]

mine were snug for the first couple of times I wore them but now they are my favorite shoes to play in. like any shoe you need to wear them in.

 

[lbj23navo]

are they just the stealths? cause with the white/red xx3's i had to go down a .5 size and I dont get any pinky toe pain.

 

[therenegade23]

Any real solutions yet?

 

[ryza272]

sometimes it just takes breaking in

 

[airthompson]

I have both steaths both good for me. I have the blacks in sz.9 propbably should've bought a size bigger.

 

[hags]

mine are fine

 

[nktran001]

I forgot that I even posted in here before.

So, I have wore my pair literally 6 times after the RD and still not yet have had any problems.

And funny how the OP is who he is.

 

[si3xers55]

Ive experienced this too. but its more like an annoyance not pain

 

[23edge]

why don't we all start a class action lawsuit? If you seriously have had foot problems with the shoe then you have the right to sue. Yeah I know theXX3's were made with excellent quality materials so it sucks, but I'm sure a lawsuit was bound to happen with all the poorly made shoes from the past.

I just picked up some white stealths and noticed the pinky toe "issue". Listen it's not a big deal
I just lined the spot where it rubbed my toe with a part of a sock until they broke in like the
third wear. I put them on now and they are probably the most comfortable kicks I own.

 

[the j collector]

Ive had this same problem when trying them on at the store , thats 1 reason I steered clear of them .......

 

[size 15 please]

This is the reason why I will not buy another XX3..they never made it out of my house because of the pain!

And because of that pain , the XX3 sky rockets to #1 as the most uncomfortable Jordan ever in my book

The look is beautiful but the pain is terrible!

 

[westcoastd]

Haven't wore them yet, so I duno.

 

[senordragon]

Sorry to hear so many people have had problems with these shoes. I've worn my black stealths, playoffs, white stealths, and white/red pairs, both casuallyand to ball in, and have not had major problems with any of them. The only minor problem I had was like the one everyone is having but not on the pinky but thebig toe. After a few wears, they all seemed to mold to my feet and have not had problems since.

Probably what I would recommend. If after this they still cause irritation, I wouldn't risk wearing them. Everyone has different feet and ifthey don't work for you, you shouldn't force the issue. Oh, and anyone who has had problems with their sz. 13 XX3 and wants to get rid of them, sendthem this way.

I haven't had any pinky toe problems with any of my XX3's. I just thought the shoe felt stiff at first, and being most of my pairs
have been worn only once or twice, they're still stiff. My stealths, I've worn at least 10 times, and once I broke them in,
they're extremely comfortable.

For some shoes, you just have to go a half size up due to pinky toe issues.
