    I’m still bummed that these didn’t work for you! I would say that the DF version helps with that gap slightly, but it still doesn’t make it 100%. Also glad to see that the hot water trick worked for you too! Only difference I did from you, was keep the boots on my feet when I did the hot water. I would move my feet in them in the hot water for about 10 min, then take them out & where em around the house like you did! But great review! This longer wear review was much appreciated! Keep up the good work my dood!

    Man I really wanted to love these boots. That extra length just keeps me away from liking then. Nonetheless, I still played with them in my size. I don’t see going down half a size as an option. My technique for breaking in boots is using a blow dryer with them on. Obviously keep the blow dryer moving at all times enough just to get the boots hot enough to soften them up. Work pretty good in my opinion.

    You inspired me on my new GT2’s Noah! Did the hot water trick (only for a few minutes) and it’s amazing they became a lot softer! I can tell it worked because they are even a bit softer than my other pair which I’ve played for over a year with! Im going to keep those ones as they are so I’ve got options. I’m bummed because I’m away this weekend and dying to get a chance to test them out as soon as I can

  • @iFaza3i
    @iFaza3i 2 года назад +5

    I tried so hard with these as well. great touch but not worth the pain they caused. Either they should be softer + stretchier, or nike should actually make wide variations of their synthetic boots.
    They do this with some of their trainers, and I'm sure there would be demand for this, even if it was nike ID only or something.
    It seems people with wide feet still HAVE to wear k-leather boots, or find old ones that luckily fit their foot well.
    It's 2022 this shouldn't still be the case.
    There should consistently be amazing, comfortable synthetic options for wide feet, especially from the top dog that is nike.

    Noah, shorten your Break in time by just wearing them in tub 🛀 with feet in boots . Then juggle ball for awhile ( helps beat on upper to soften up. The movement also helps in stretching. It’s definitely the cut( at top) of the boot where you have that gap . Have had it myself and heard from others .

    Hey man great video. I was planning on going half a size down myself on this particular colourway in AG. The last time I bought these in US8 (whereas my actual size is 7.5 US), there was almost an inch of space in the toe area. Had to use an extra insole and a pair of socks to fill up the space but the width had no issue. Was scared of going a full size down from US 8 to 7s. But your video gave me full confidence. But I had another issue. I asked you a few days ago about your preferred boot between this and the Vapor 15. You chose the latter. What I wanted to know is that, when you wore the new Vapors, did those have any extra room in the toe area ? If so how much? Because I'm planning on buying the new vapor 15 AG in US 7.5s. I'm worried if i have to stay true to size, or go up or down half a size. These are expensive investments but all worth the pain.
