Interestingly, I usually wear a 13 wide or a 14 regular, but after trying on a 14 regular at the Nike store before ordering, I decided to go all the way up to 15 wide. They just arrived and I'm doing my first games in them tomorrow, but I can already tell they're going to be way less punishing on my legs and ankles than the cleats I'd been wearing. I'm excited!<br /><br />Oh, and if you feel like you could use a bit more ankle support, see if <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M4Egh5G2a4" rel="nofollow">this trick</a> helps.Yalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060657562853415545.post-59519859783086315092012-10-11T18:07:55.630-04:002012-10-11T18:07:55.630-04:00Hey there, Great follow up question!

They've been great for tournament because they have a little more padding than most referee shoes. I see that you are correct regarding the current price. Unfortunately, I can't say much about that. I did notice that Adidas now has a custom show website. Go to http://www.adidas.com/us/ and select "customize" to check it out.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667440571925923206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060657562853415545.post-42176689140106360022012-10-11T17:31:14.022-04:002012-10-11T17:31:14.022-04:00So you've used these for a year now?

I looked on the Nike ID site the other day, and the price is up to about $135.RAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183569169416447437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060657562853415545.post-47137433648879770402011-11-29T15:39:18.018-05:002011-11-29T15:39:18.018-05:00Hi Wes,

In other words, they are good, but maybe not ideal. My goal was to find a shoe with some kind of cushioning and support. The other issues were secondary. I hope that helps.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667440571925923206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060657562853415545.post-28802282222424438422011-11-29T14:04:46.507-05:002011-11-29T14:04:46.507-05:00I have always thought about using Nike ID to custo...I have always thought about using Nike ID to customize a running shoe, but have always questioned the ankle support, not necessarily for the running, but for the side stepping I do when I'm an AR. Have you had the chance to be an AR in them? Thanks in advance.Wesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060657562853415545.post-8805026434985706932011-11-16T13:53:59.015-05:002011-11-16T13:53:59.015-05:00Excellent question.

I just purchased some Adidas trail running shoes after coming to the same realization that they would be far more comfortable than the soccer shoes I was wearing.<br /><br />Question: How true to size do the Nike ID shoes run?RAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183569169416447437noreply@blogger.com
