20 Best Basketball Shoes For Shin Splints (2022 Updated)

This non-signature budget model from Nike impresses; performance-wise, the shoes are probably worth much more. Concerning fit, the pair are true to size, applicable for all and are wide-foot friendly.

The quality of these shoes is quite good, being durable, and having a premium feeling upper. They work well for outdoors, as well as in. The value is indeed great. I would say the value-to-price ratio would be greater than most others.

No questioning style. The simplistic yet original look catches the eye. They look aesthetic and are great for those who do not prefer bulky-looking and heavy shoes. Comfort-wise, these are fairly good, providing good support and a stable-feeling insole.

They are also very light. Others may disagree on the comfort due to the lack of cushioning, but these very rarely appear as an issue (personally), and have the same, if not better, comfort than most other shoes I have worn.

To summarise, These shoes are brilliant, and outperform their price-expectations. If you are a guard who doesn’t particularly need impact protection yet emphasises on speed and precision, or you are a nimble forward – get a pair.

Upon wearing these shoes the insole and design of the shoes causes your ankles to pronate/roll in which causes changes to my gait/walking/running, and putting alot of unwanted pressure into the inside of the knees and possibly the hips as the pronated ankles causes the legs to internally rotate.

The sole and fit of the shoe is also very narrow so for those with wider feet or have been wearing barefoot shoes, it would not be very ideal. The grip of the shoes is good, and the size fits well, but would be mindful of how the shoes will change of position of the ankles.

Especially for those who have had previous injury or have weak ankles or have collapsed/weak foot arches.

Got these to primarily play tennis on hard courts and they’re great. Good traction on hard courts and very comfy. The big toe area is actually wearing out the quickest on the bottom soles because of my hitting motion.

Can’t speak to how they perform playing basketball, but these are more comfortable and lighter that my other pair of Nike shoes specifically designed for tennis. The lightness of the shoe makes me feel quicker on the tennis court.

Liked so much, got a 2nd pair for tennis.

Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit Shoes Review The Nike react infinity run flyknit shoes are made for road running as well as work well for everyday use. They also work well in the trails although I would recommend running spikes if you run the trails a lot.

They come in variety of different colors and sizes with a very comfortable fit. They are by far the best running shoes I have ever used, and their shape and design improved my running form almost immediately.

The Nike react infinity run flyknit shoes have a lightweight fit with a stable feel. They have a more durable design with a flexible fit. Their higher foam sole gives for a softer feel while their wider base provides more stability.

They feature three main layers keep your feet secure while you’re running as well is designed to reduce injury to keep you on the run. The shape of the midsole helps the phases of a runner’s stride and creates flexibility at the toe which helps propel you forward.

The midstance provides for a cushioning at contact for a smoother run and it almost feels like you’re running or walking on cushion. When I run in the Nike infinity run flyknit shoes I just feel faster.

The soles design propels you forward and gives your bounce in your step. The curved sole helps you strike the ground on your toes which improves your stride and by landing on your toes you have a lesser chance of injury.

A faster tempo is guaranteed with running in them. Their vaporfly like rocker sole shape merges takeoff and landing into a smoother transition. This causes very little energy to be lost in stride so your legs will feel fresher longer throughout your run.

They have a sleek design that is comfortable for running but also for everyday use. They have a soft feel for walking or just chilling with your friends although the price is a little hefty if you’re only looking for shoes for everyday use.

They have a titer fit so if you are looking for slip on shoes, I would not recommend them although this does provide for a very comfortable fit for everyday use and running. If you are not particularly a runner but need athletic shoes these will be perfect.

Their easy to carry around and the lightweight fit is good for warming up for your game or just going to the gym. They do cost around $160 dollars although they are worth it. After wearing these shoes, I would highly recommend them especially to runners.

If you need a shoe that will give you a bounce in your step with a comfortable feel the Nike react infinity run flyknit shoes are the shoes for you. There durable design will last you for a long time however you wear them, running or just hanging out.

There price may be on the higher end at $160 but the Nike react infinity run flyknit shoes are worth it. If you need a new pair of kicks, I would highly recommend checking them out.

After using these shoes for a year, I can officially say that these shoes are great all-in-one running shoes. They work for cross country, marathons, practically anything that you can think of. After using them for a year, they only look like dirt has taken them over.

The foam has not worn off, and they still look, and feel great after 300 miles. I’ll definitely be using them for another year, as they are extremely reliable. However, there are some pros and cons. PROS: Very light for their size, fits almost any foot type, and comfortable for longer and shorter runs.

Foam will hold for a long time, shows no sign of shrinking or tears. CONS: White soles will get dirty easily, and the normal version of the shoe has a very wide front-end, making it quite spacious in the front.

(Some may find it uncomfortable) CONCLUSION: great running shoe for any event, tackles marathons and 5-10k’s easily. For narrow to medium feet. If you like this, you should try the vaporflys, as they feel quite similar, as they are just a beefed up version of these shoes.

I truly do love these shoes. I have played basketball my whole life and found these to feel amazing the second I tried them on. About to buy my second pair because I have really worn the heck out of my first pair.

As a bartender, I found myself wearing these every day because they are great as non-slip shoes as well. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thankful for these shoes :).

I bought these boots for my Daughter. These are her first ever pair of football boots they are narrow and a snug fit like most Nike foot-ware however we knew this prior to purchasing from other Nike products she owns.

Good quality boots that look like they should last a regular season if and when it can resume. She uses them at least 2 times a week for self training whilst at home and loves them. One pleased future England Star.

Cute cleat, color is bright as shown. They run SMALL and they’re almost a plastic material and not a leather that’ll stretch. They are so very narrow. The tongue is not very wide either so if your foot stretches the cleat you see some of the sock.

Size up if you choose to get these AT LEAST a half size! recommend trying them on before buying.

I actually needed a pair of lightweight shoes and found a pair of Nike Air Precision 2 for $40 dollars usd. After looking them over they were most likely returned but unwore, probablyto small. The toe box could get very tight on a wider foot plus they fit small.

I’m a 9-9. 5 in most Nike but these fit at 10. 5 comfortably I have a very narrow foot and use a 3/4 Dr Scholls insert in all my shoes these included. Even without the insole they are very comfortable as I walk about 25 miles a day whilst working.

Very fond of this shoe 10/10 for a person of my foot size. The silhouette is awesome for a mid. I’m a fan of the Kyrie, silhouette but this is a close #2. I definitely scored with these and will be getting another pair strictly for work.

I can definitely see where they are a very affordable BBshoe as I can wear these for 16 hours and the only issue is they can get tight on the foot.

Loved the style of this shoe. I got them originally for basketball and they did great for the casual runs and jumps. They have excellent traction, even after a year of wearing them everyday. They do squeak loud with certain sudden movements (like any basketball shoe would) on your daily hard floors and get really squeaky on certain surfaces when wet.

They are very comfortable and flexible for your daily needs. I use them daily to walk around, lift at the gym, and occasional jogging. After a year they still look pretty good, but the white rims are permanently slightly stained from months and months of dirt build up that didnt wash away soon enough.

And the top is a little wrinkly and worn, but it’s expected due to its amount of use. Definitely a shoe to look into if you want a stylish everyday shoe, or a shoe for playing basketball.

I bought these shoes just for run around the neighborhood type shoes. They are really really nice for how cheap they are. I play outdoor basketball with these and they are great. I run in these shoes and they are great.

I use these for P. E. and they are great. All and all these shoes are hecka good for how much money they are. They look great too!.

These shoes look great, but honestly, if I had seen them in the store and tried them on, I wouldn’t have purchased them. That said, my issue is that the tongue is attached to the bottom of the shoe which makes the shoe very tight around the toes and the ball of the foot.

I really like the look of these, so I cut the tongue away from the bottom of the shoe to allow it to move and make more room for my foot. The toe area is mesh so that is relaxing as well. With my alterations I like these shoes very much, but just know that cutting was involved to get to this point.

This is certainly specific to my feet, but if your feet are narrow or if you have less of an arch they may be perfect as is.

Going true to size these fit me exactly how I like my basketball shoes to fit. A tiny bit of room in the tow and snug everywhere else. These shoes provide great court feel and responsive cushion. They don’t slide off the heels at all and feel like a minimal extension of your foot.

At 5’9″ 170lbs they have just enough cushion to play ball for about 6 hours without having sore feet after. Bigger people, or hoopers who jump out the gym might want to look at a different shoe though.

This shoe is definitely designed for players like harden & steph. Low to the ground and quick!.

We ordered these sneakers for my son’s birthday. He is not really into brands as such but like the look of these shoes. When they arrived – he was actually excited about a pair of shoes and now looks for every opportunity to wear them out.

They look great, fit great and are really comfortable. Happy with this purchase.

Bought this one for my dad. He was looking for a reasonably heavy, breathing and comfortable blue pair of sneakers. Normally he goes for Nike but this Puma immediately stole his heart. Very comfy and good looking shoe.

I bought these because they were comfortable when I tried them on. I’m a hooper, I play fast and I’m shifty. These shoes were used mainly outdoor and they felt great. Cushion is good. Support is good.

Have only worn once comfortable stable on court and what I was looking for basic colors. All the basketball shoes these days are too wild and weird. I like the clean look.

Perfect for training, light and comfy. Also very good for running.

Item came faster than expected! Great price on a great shoe.

I took KD14 shoes to replace my old Hyperdunks for playing volleyball (Nike has no men’s special volleyball shoes at the moment). Great cushion and stability. Good jump. Although KD14 is lower than mid-height shoes, the feeling is that they give enough ankle support.

Bought these last month to wear in my college intramural basketball league. Played 4 games in them and they are outstanding sneakers!! Lots of support side to side, which is vital to me, as I overpronate very badly!! These sneakers keep my feet in line and moving straight ahead!!.

My shoes just recently came in and I took them to the gym to play basketball and I can tell why Kevin Durant plays so good on the court ! This shoe has great traction , very light, and is the most comfortable shoe i’ve ever played basketball in.

I would strongly suggest you guys getting you a pair. !.

I think these might be the new top shoe. It performs well with good traction, durability, and court feel.

Great shoe, comfortable, durable, high quality, happy with the purchase

These basketball shoes are very comfortable and have excellent grip

I bought 2 pairs on clearance. Fits true to size and its comfortable. I like the black and white combinations and the design of this shoes

Great shoes! I needed something quickly and Academy had a nice selection. My son really enjoyed them.

Very supportive basketball shoe. Feels great and solid material. Except price.

The absolute most supportive arch fit and overall best feeling shoe I’ve ever owned and I’m buying one in every color because I’ve decided they’re so comfortable and also great looking I’m donating all my other shoes and I’ll only wear these from now on.

I rely heavily on customer reviews before I purchase anything except groceries so that’s why I’m leveling with you here. And I know that what’s comfortable to me might not be for someone else but if 8 out of 10 reviews vote for a particular aspect or feature then odds are the majority probably confirms the issue.

I’m buying one of each color and won’t be wearing anything else, in fact I’m donating every pair of shoes I own to Goodwill and only wearing Kyrie Low 4 shoes. One last thing. when I put these on for the first time.

I never knew a shoe could feel like this with the support under my arch. Had I known this type of shoe existed I’d have thrown out my others year’s ago.

My son’s favorite basketball shoe. He’s tried no fewer than 12 different pairs from various brands (UA, Adidas, Nike, Puma) and feels like this shoe provides the best balance of traction, light weight, stability and cushion.

Only negative he mentioned is the forefoot flexibility. Could probably use some flex grooves or something? Anyway this is a winner and we’ll likely stick with updates as long as Nike doesn’t deviate from this general design too much.

I played in these shoes for a pickup game with some friends. I wanted low tops because I am guard and thought these would be my shoe. I played about five games in them, and I can say that. Shoe traction: 7.

5/10. Comfort: 7. 8/10 Style 10/10 I received many compliments about the shoe. I suggest you stay true to size if you have a narrow foot. If wide, I would go up a size. I plan to play in these some more wants my men’s league to start back up and keep customers updated, but for now, I give the shoe a 7.

69/10 so far.

I’ve ordered two pairs of KD15s so far. I love the colorways and chose to go with these specifically because they look like they’ll be about the closest thing to a Kobe that you can get your hands on.

I haven’t played ball in them yet, but I will say, both pairs make a strange popping sound with each step. It sounds like the glue that’s holding the insole in place is cracking or something. It may not impact performance at all, and nothing feels like it’s loose or coming undone, but the sound alone is very annoying.

The shoe is comfortable, though. It will definitely need some break in time as it’s pretty stiff out of the box. Feels tough to get a good lockdown like I could with the PG5 or any of the Kobe low tops.

Again, I’m guessing that will get better with break-in. The traction feels like it will be amazing on the court as well. I’m excited to see some of the additional colorways drop and hope that these will be a good, reliable hoop shoe.

I’ve had tons of KDs and there has always been something that I would change. These shoes are perfect IMO. The Zoom stroble along with the responsiveness of the midsole is the right combo of impact protection and responsiveness.

The fit is right. not long or short. narrow or wide. Lastly it’s a LOW! I love a low cut shoe! I will be buying many colorways of this model.

Always have love for KDs – these don’t disappoint. After only 3 sessions, I have to agree that the heel still feels a bit loose – not like the lockdown I’m used to experiencing. I am hoping that as the midsole breaks in I will get a better fit in the back there.

This colorway with the light blue on the toe is going to be hard to keep looking crisp. Somebody stepped on my toe so there’s a big dark mark there now, and it really stands out.

Was really amazed at how good this shoe was for the relaunched basketball line. Clean and understated style matches Kawhi’s game perfectly. The fit was excellent with decent flexibility and room / volume in the toe box.

The shape is more natural than most brands who have a narrow and pointed toe. The mid foot strap is non functional however. The ankle strap is very supportive but I wish it was more cushioned. Grip from the icy sole was fantastic with a textured herringbone pattern.

No frills.

First of all, this shoe is comfortable. Wether you play ball or just want it as a lifestyle shoe, I recommend this sneaker. The heat wave color way is sick! As a basketball player, I always worry about my ankles.

And having suffered a grade 3 ankle sprain, I look for shoes that will give me ankle support. The OMN1S do just that. I’m ecstatic to have these and looking forward to purchasing more in the future. Excited that NB is back in the basketball industry and these shoes won’t disappoint!.

Since the rubber is hard, I use these for outdoor basketball and they are pretty great – after you find the right fit. I definitely recommend going down half a size. The shoe runs long and a little narrow.

To compensate for this sizing, I purchased a different outsole and it fixed it! If you are planning to do the same, make sure the new outsole is slightly larger than the original. Definitely recommend this shoe!.

So this is the second time around I have purchased these shoes. First time around they lasted me about 6 months which is great for the amount of outdoor basketball that I play. I finally got a new pair once the nose of the shoe had torn open exposing my toe and the part that really bothered me is the framing of the sole and how it rubbed up against my inner heal while playing.

at first I thought it was from wear/tear and the shoes sole just morphing from tons of play. Now to my second pair which have only been used a few times. I’m experiencing the same rubbing problem on my heal after only a few uses of the shoe which actually results in bleeding if don’t protect my foot properly.

I would Recommend finding another shoe if you can!.

Full disclosure. I am a woman but by men’s basketball shoes because the price and selection are far better. So when I save the shoes are awesome to look at my standards might be different than if you’re a man.

That said, from a comfort perspective these shoes are the greatest. I play 3 days a week and the shoes are incredibly comfortable with great traction on the souls. I can’t wear Nike because I have wide feet and I’m usually stuck wearing boring shoes but new balance is really cracked the code with these extremely comfortable but high quality basketball shoe.

My son loved his basketball shoes. He was so exited as soon as he opened his package. The shoes fit great. He said they make his feet feel like he’s walking on clouds. I love that for him. I guess mom can give herself a pat on the back for this one.

Good job New Balance you’ve hit home with these shoes here!.

I bought these for outdoor play, after trying Kyrie infinity, Lebron 19, Jordan 36, and finding the modern Nikes to fit poorly. The 2 Way have better upper support and stability, like a classic midtop basketball shoe from my young days 90s-00s.

After some good street sessions I’d say they have great lockdown, near perfect grip, good impact protection, and excellent court feel. All materials feel tough, unlike the Nikes, that fit more like bulky running shoes, with big outriggers and strange designs.

New Balance used great materials. My favorite is the suede at the back and around the ankle. Super soft and premium. I knew these were what I was looking for the moment I tried them on.

I ordered these shoes a few days ago and they arrived today, ahead of schedule. Prior to this order I didn’t even know New Balance made basketball shoes. I have not worn them out of the house yet. The fit is good.

There’s ample cushioning, which I like. The color is different from what I expected. Although the description states blue with deep violet, they looked more white than blue on my laptop screen. All in all I like them and I’m looking forward to real-world testing them.

I’m betting others who see me wearing them will be surprised they’re New Balance.

I have worn the original version for a year now (v1 two WXY) and I wore the wide size. At the time of writing this review there is no option for wide in the v2. So, I chose the same size but in standard width and the fit is great! I am uncertain if I like the new lace system compared to the v1.

The v1 had a traditional style lace system with more holes, and two holes at the top near the ankle opposed to only one on the v2. I am able to fit the new version snugly, but think I’d still prefer the traditional style lace system that the v1 had.

Either way I am very happy with the v2, Overall, I love the sneakers and am glad they have enough room to not need a wide size. Keep it up New Balance!.

Comfortable and good quality for such an inexpensive shoe. The size runs a bit narrow and a bit long so consider this when purchasing. Could be used for sport but also good for an everyday walking shoe.

Bought a pair because I needed a pair of kicks to run up and down the court in. Haven’t played in years and at my age (48), my feet matter when trying to stay in shape. These sneaks met my needs and then some.

Very please with my purchase.

If you’re looking for comfortable and stylish basketball shoes then look no further. The colours are classic and go with majority of outfits and they are durable for any occasion.

My son loves these. They are the perfect height for ankle support and the mesh is very comfortable. They give his toes good amount of space.
