Those things are so bright and loud. They look really clean on court/in game. Can't see them with jeans on. All that matters is hopefully that these take him to a game 7.

There is a difference between custom inserts and orthotics technically. And they do improve comfort BUT that is the secondary function. The primary function of orthotics is to correct foot imbalances that can translate up the leg to knee, hip, or back issues. The comfort comes from your foot being shifted back to a neutral position. If you want straight comfort you could throw some Dr. Scholls in there but they do nothing to improve any foot issues like those I described, OR you could get custom inserts like dude above described. but again they provide extra cushioning, no imbalance correction. Make sense? My GF is a physical therapist for about 25 years and her ex husband is a surgical podiatrist so I speak from experience.

As for the Elites vs Regular the make ups of the shoe "guts" are the same. Zoom pods, plastic shank plate etc. Bron's orthotics should fit perfect in any pair he wears. Elite or regular on court is prob just preference, unless the giant TPU cage plays a factor in torsional rigidity.

Thank for the response, but I have called the spot where both LeBron AND Serena Williams got theirs, and those that are pictured next to his shoes are the ones that LeBron wears, and they are also up on that site, and they are cushioned. I went with those, and I cannot wait to try them.

@MOOD INDIGO For what you are looking for those will improve comfort

Think about it? dudes aren't going wear them if they were uncomfortable

The other guy is partially right there are many types of orthotics/ custom inserts some are better at certain things

But yes you will most likely find they are more comfortable for performance wear than they were out of the box after breaking them in

Also I'm not sure if those are same orthotics Lebron wears

Yup, the ones pictured are LeBron's, right next to the XII's that have no interior.

I'd prefer the refs let them play than blow their whistle on every play.

Call it both ways..

Not easily in favor of one team over the other.

It's to the point that it's blatantly obvious.

In favor of what team...aside from lebron himself not getting a call here or there, looks even to me.

Agree.

I can't remember such bad refs

Half of golden states screens are illegal, each and every big of the cavs get held down in the paint - jersey pulling so blatant it's a joke, and Lebron has so many no call fouls I can write a 5 chapter book on it lol

If they are going to let calls go - just do it evenly, that's all.

I'm rooting for Lebron to pull off a win, but I know when a team is outplayed - this team is being held back by no calls.

It's a momentum and pace killer.
