for basketball. do you have to break them in somehow? or should you be able to pull them out of the box, put them, and then play a game or two?

i ask because i got new shoes and played a couple of games and they tore my feet up. should i try to return them for something else, or try to break them in and see what they do?

 

You should have worn them around for a while before playing in them.

Sorry about your blisters h:.

 

so, should i keep them for a little bit? i don't even know if i can return them.

 

you should wear them in first...you will def. get blisters if you just throw them on and have at it.

 

depends on the shoes actually. if nikes, yes...they need broke in.

 

ok, so what about the tongue? it keeps sliding down. i have the laces through the hole on the tongue, but it stills moves down. anything i can do about that?

 

i think you are over obsessing about your shoes. get some adhesive backed velcro and attach to your leg to solve your tounge problem.

 

Ha, you're lucky. I was dumb enough to run 3 miles in brand new running shoes. I normally do 4-5 miles. I had to stop because my feet hurt so bad. When I removed the shoes half of my toenails had turned black on the underside (blood). After a few days the nails just plain fell off. It's been an entire year and they're now just getting back to normal.
