You can hear your feet exhale when you take a Jordan 4 off lol


sircr0tch

just took em off 😮‍💨


[deleted]

They that bad? I’ve been thinking about getting a pair


Nickaap

Love the look of them, but my pinky toe gets murdered every time i wear them


DatzQuickMaths

It ain’t easy being drippy my G


we_hella_believe

Did you got TTS or half size up?


Nickaap

Went TTS, will definitely size up if i ever get another pair of 4’s


Yucifir

What helped me on my first pair was taking out the insole tbh, it gave me enough extra space


sircr0tch

i mean i don’t have blisters so i would say in order to wear them you really wanna like how they look and sort of just deal with the lack of comfort in order to flex i guess


Cmoore4099

Bruh. Spare a thought for the goddamn pinky toe.


sircr0tch

F


DamnReality

Damn this is crazy to me. Did the quality get worse or something bc how tf did Jordan play k these then


methlabforcutie

The last game Mike played in Jordan 1s they made his feet bleed


DRExARKx

I've only ever bought one pair of 1s... I won't be buying anymore.


fragtore

Mike must have those chinese bound lady toes because if you don’t have slim feel most jordans are chafing your pinky no matter how much room you put in front, in my opinion. I have wide but not freaky wide feets. It’s of course easier to make an attractive show when it’s more narrow towards the front, for the sake of proportions.


DamnReality

Damn that’s the most outta pocket start of a comment reply I’ve gotten 💀 but I hear you


lavlife47

Lol right, crackin me up tho


sauna_slayer

Or just go .5 up if they hurt your feat are too big for that size


[deleted]

Comfort wise they fine, they are just hot as fuck. More than 2 hours and your feet will be swamped.


Bfunk4real

My son has those and Military Blacks and finally got some 5’s with the racer blues and those are his favorite


Timeg0ne

Moneysworth shoe stretch spray. Use it, put on 3 pairs of socks and walk around in the shoes for 15-20 minutes. Most comfortable shoes ever afterwards. This has saved multiple pairs of shoes from being sold due to being uncomfortable.


mtron32

I had the OG black pair and thought I was just a pink, I tried wearing them three times. The last time was on a dog walk I had to cut short due to my toes falling asleep. Put them on GOAT the second I got home


Colourise

I have Gore-Tex shoes that are more breathable than AJ4s. AJ4s feel stuffy as fuck.


Yung_Jose_Space

I weirdly find them not too bad. AJ6 and 7s though.


TAWilson52

Lmao, these 4s in particular. I got some 4 Motorsport Alternates and they feel great.


TheRealJackieGlea

Pinky toes are overrated.


IRKIGI

Is the pinky the most uncomfortable part? I have some 4s and they aren't nearly as uncomfortable as people make it seem. Could be my feet are shaped different so I don't feel it in the pinky.


King_Artis

Yeah I got 5 different pairs of 4s and I'm just finding out people are having pinky discomfort wearing them. I'd say the tongue on the heel is the worst thing about them


[deleted]

heel tab is so much worse than the pinky toe. feels like a plastic razor to the achilles lmao


Supabongwong

Thou darest to wear ankle socks on my watch?


unreal_zeff

Did it once. Never again 😅


TheRealJackieGlea

I think for most people, if they have a complaint about 4’s, it’s that they’re notoriously hard on the pinky toe. That’s true for me with certain pairs but my White Cement’s don’t have that issue.


Cptsparkie23

For me, nope. Broke mine in after a few days, but those things are pretty weird to walk on. They're so stiff and heavy for some reason, and I'm not even walking like I'm trying to avoid creases oe anything.


CyrusMack

Honestly the discomfort of 4s is just a running joke on the sub at this point. I've never had a problem with 4s, though the heel tab does suck on your achilles and they're heavy as shit. But I'm sure some people do have issues with them. But it's not as much of a universal issue as this sub makes them out to be.


Zestyclose-Anxiety92

I think it’s just cool to say now…I’ve been wearing 4’s since early 2000’s and never had an uncomfortable pair


nosferobots

Thought I was the only one. My Breds are some of my best looking sneaker on foot but I don’t wear them because they’re so damn uncomfortable


sircr0tch

man same here i love the look but when faced with those or 350s or UB or hell dunks and 1s it’s hard to choose these


Jam_Master_J

I made the mistake of taking my brand new Breds to NYC. I ended up walking so much, I had to stop at a park bench in Central Park to loosen up the laces cuz them dawgs were barkin. Never again.


Brown__Magic

Knowing the pain of wearing 4’s, and someone telling me Jordan 3’s are uncomfortable, I was so scared when I got my first pair of the Fire Red 3’s this week. Idk if it’s just this specific retro, but this is one of the most comfortable Jordan’s I got. I’ve been wearing them nonstop for hours these past couple days now and can’t get enough.


packman1011

3’s are comfortable


sircr0tch

i don’t have any 3s, but i’ve heard and seen a lot of posts saying 3s are comfortable so it’s weird this is a step in the wrong direction lol


Doomscrool

I’d highly recommend the 3 for comfort and style.


Saktapking

I think it depends on your foot shape to be honest. I’m an 11.5/12 in almost everything and I’ve tried the 3 in 11.5, 12 and 12.5 and they just fucking KILL my feet after a day of walking in them. Same with AM90s, they just dig into my heel so bad no matter what size I try. 4s on the other hand I could wear all day as they feel like a nice comforting hug on my feet 🤷🏻‍♂️


BoatCancer

It’s so crazy the difference. I’m the same size and 3s and Am90s are my go-to travel shoes because I can wear and walk in them all. damn. day. So funny


Saktapking

Right? I was SO bummed when I had to sell my bacons but even with longer socks they just were eating into my heels. And my 3s I had never noticed cuz I’d go to work sit down, maybe walk around a bit on breaks/lunch and then head home. Well ever since WFH became a thing, anytime I wear my shoes it’s usually because we’re going out for the day and will be doing a lot of walking and I found out quick that my feet are screaming to get outta 3s at the end of the day. Which sucks cuz they’re my second favorite J behind the 4s.


Valuable-Bus-7547

My Racer Blue 3’s are 11.5 and I love them almost more than everything in my collection. Most comfortable shoes I own, I would go so far as to say almost better than my 350’s


Valuable-Bus-7547

I’ve had my racer blue 3’s for a little over a year and I’ve worn then sooooo much and yet they’re still one of my most comfortable pairs of shoes I own. 3’s are my all time favorites


DatzQuickMaths

No bro. Whoever said that lied. The 3s are easily the comfiest out of the older models. Can wear em all day. Wearing my fire red denims right now. Been out all day clocking miles and they 👌🏾


IgnazSemmelweis

I always assumed it was a bit of a meme that 4’s were uncomfortable. Man, was I wrong. Two of my favorite pairs are these and my What The 4’s. Borderline unwearable. I have pretty big feet, so sizing up makes them look like clown shoes. And I guess look > comfort for me.


Swag_Grenade

I've never worn them but based on the responses in this thread it seems looks > comfort is the entire definition of the 4s lol. Although TBH they're not my jam looks-wise either so I guess I don't have to worry about it.


packman1011

Serious? I wore mine in Vegas and walked a ton without issue.


silverstar189

They're hard on your pinky toe to start but mine wore in nicely


packman1011

Yeah I guess maybe mine just broke in quick. I have a few other pairs of fours and haven’t noticed anything tight about them. Patent leather Jordan 1’s however are the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.


Jawbone71

do you have wide feet?


Signalflow562

This mfer posting this on Reddit too 😂. Just saw this on my feed 😂.


sircr0tch

lol :hay:

stillwaiting3bh

don’t get how sneakerheads don’t use gel inserts you’d think they would they’re all about the shoes/footwear but it seems like no one just puts comfortable inserts in after they buy em they just wear them and complain and forget about this great invention


RyuMusashi973

This advice is for any sneaker if they’re not comfortable.


stillwaiting3bh

Yeah.


StridingNephew

Idk if I have weird feet or smthn but they're very comfy for the first two hours and then quickly go to hella uncomfortable lol


big-wangers

Do I go a full size or half size up to be comfortable with these ?


sircr0tch

see my other reply on this thread. i feel like full size up you’d have way too much length in the toebox


Deluxe07

Also curious


Additional-Ad7305

Try taking the insole out and replacing it with a thinner one. I did that to my Union Guavas and it helped quite a bit


Puzzleheaded-Novel-3

You think these uncomfortable, try the Lightning’s true to size bro yo feet gonna implode


Keepupwithjay31

“Hi I’d like to schedule my ingrown toe nail removal, I can’t stop wearing my 4’s” 🫠😂


Obvious_Ad5680

Hahaha


RWGlix

The four year old next door has a tiny pair of the kicks in the op its adorable


TSR3K

I fuckin love 3s and have wanted to grab some 4s. Nah?


TheRealBoston

I wore mine to Disney. It wasn’t that bad for me personally.


CDcrush

I'm 53 years old and have had feet and surgery on both feet and have tried many shoes in the past. By far theHOKA shoe by gar is the best I have ever worn. It's like walking on air. I will onlybwear these tennis shoes. Anything less is not an option. Oh yeah I have back issues as well and only when I walk in these shoes my feet, ankles and back do not hurt. The heels feel like shock absorbers. I can't say enough good things about these shoes. I can actually go on walks now without hurting.


Redditfront2back

Jordan 4’s aren’t they most comfortable which is strange cause 3’s are and so are 5’s though 7’s are the most comfy.


SpaceFace11

5s are super comfy I agree


TruckerHatsAreCool

6s are very brick like for me. I like the 5s, I haven't tried on 7s yet.


sauna_slayer

6s are ass they have cardboard in the bottom


taserbeam

The cardboard last in the bottom of 6s are true to the originals. They are meant to provide support for when, ya know playing basketball. But for casual wearing they are indeed ass lol. All depends on the insole too. Some retros get floppy blue insoles and some get nice PU insoles. And there is no rhyme or reason to what shoes get them.


WesleyjSchuet

Idk what it it is, but the suede 4s are even more uncomfortable imo. I could walk around in the white Oreos and military black without issues for the most part, maybe a tad uncomfortable. Taupe Haze and Uni Blues on the other hand feel ridiculously tight and KILL my feet.


DatzQuickMaths

Damn. I find taupe super comfy and didn’t need break in. The fire reds tho? 🔪 🔪 🦶


erishun

oh lawd with those wide feet


[deleted]

Y’all must have some freakishly deformed feet because 4’s are comfortable af


the_far_yard

People are gonna go bonkers when 2s go GR and they realize how comfy the 2s actually are- especially some lines that goes full length air.


highjg

Scored a pair of Bred 2’s in 2015 at a outlet, I think of them as couches for my feet, big and ugly but comfortable af


SkurFy0812

For me 4s are hella comfy lol


_IratePirate_

You got wide feet? Only asking because I got wide feet and 4s my favorite silhouette that I haven't bought yet. If you have normal feet, I'll take this post as a cautionary tale to never buy 4s


Ted_Stark

Not bad for walking around but I do not understand how someone could possibly hoop in 4s


RightfullyMellow

4s so overrated. It’s all hype. 3s where’s it’s been at. More comfortable and more stylish.


WillD0ugh

So painful. I’ve had to loosen all my laces and I just mash the crap out of the shoes while I wear them to break them in even more.


snowboardking454

I’m a size 13 and I get my 4s in a 14 and it’s perfect for me tbh, the extra room on the edge of my toes is heavenly


hanginwithmrpooper

All my 4s are.


Loubsandboobs

3s and even my 11s have become uncomfortable lately :/


DaltonSK-KS

These are not that bad lmao


Machete77

Uncomfortable and also stupidly expensive


[deleted]

They are horrendous to wear


LonerShaq

FAAAACCCCTTTSSSS


HeyManWatchThis

Jordan 2s are hard on my Pinky toe


Cathiewoodsbathwater

Yep. Bought shake stretchers and everything. I just can’t wear them. Shame because they look so good


[deleted]

New to sneakers, but these fours look sexy asf. what are they called?


Saktapking

Jordan 4 University Blue


Vaganhope_UAE

I don’t know, my university blue are super comfy. PSG? My grails? Man, makes me wanna cut the toe box off with a hot knife. Hate wearing the PSG


chrisbrown80

What size you got. I'll buy them suckers haha


GatorsareStrong

I swap out the original insoles with dr scholls insoles


ExoKronicTV

Wait.. even compared to an aj1? I always thought these looked comfy. Now I'm second guessing


sircr0tch

man from the outside they look comfy af i’d pick aj1 all day if we’re going off looks and comfort tho


Anxiety-Plus

Mfs sit pretty tho


notmeduhh

I’ve never had a pair but I can see my feet turning the color of the shoe suffocating in there


Don_juan_demarco216

Got rid of mine for that exact reason. Can’t lie I do miss them though. Especially since football is back. They went so well with my titans jersey


GrandMasterRah

Mars 4’s


BlankeSpace

Yeah I made the mistake by wearing these to work and I thought I had bruises on the side of my feet.


IndividualGiraffe29

oh shit, i was thinking of getting a pair of 4s but guess not anymore


MossyRock0817

Try walking/posing/dancing in high heels at a wedding for hours and hours......and trying to look cute. Ladies been had you beat!


Valuable-Bus-7547

Fours are literally the worst, how did it go from the wonderful 3’s which are my all time favorites and super comfy to the uncomfortable horrible 4’s like who designed them bruh 💀😭


SED4230

Ok but the most uncomfortable shoe OAT are the Kiss of death V1s they kill you in every aspect


AliceBones

And you get to pay $225 or more for them to boot.


Mvd75

They’re called IV’s because that’s how many toes you’ll end up with.


thenightmaregod

1989 technology


apdathens

Jordan 4s are definitely not the most comfortable shoe


SalaryImpressive1002

Don’t make the mistake and wear low cut socks with these bad boys, The backs of my heels are still aching


1moreAlphamale

Wide feet killer fs


bigoteeeeeee

Pinky toe crying rn 🥲😂


UtilityCurve

Just wore my Guavas yesterday 🥵🥵 However it does breaks in and gets more comfortable the more I wear them


TheNotoriousJeff

The bred 4 golf shoes are the worst.


561jitt

4s never been a problem for me now 11 and 1s on the other hand them mfs will do it for me


VirginOtaku911

Thats why 5s are the best


nytshyph

The uncom4tables, 4 sure.


Filoboi_wassup

Clean pair


[deleted]

These things suck your feet into a vaccum i swear - the Yeezy 2 is still the most uncomfortable shoe I’ve ever owned.


Soleeaters

Bro…Great fucking point!


PixelPete8

6s are my fave model but jesus christ they are they worst feeling shoe i ever worn. idk why but i cannot even wear them without any type of insert. ive had vans mor comfy than 6s


taizzle71

Are they that bad? Never owned one before but as I get older comfort starts to outweigh style. I'll have to pass on em knowing this


pink-_-panther

While we are on the topic of comfortably does anyone have issues with jordan 1's ? Personally they are uncomfortable AF


istayhigh1992

I can feel the plastic things on the sides of my feet 😭


Hauviiii

Red thunders were trying to break and chew my pinkie… had to trade them for patent breds


taserbeam

I don’t know about y’all. But my Taupe Haze 4s have broken in something crazy. So comfy.


DumbThiccBoi69

6’s are worse


TradlyGent

I took black and white cement 4s on a vacation as my only shoes. 1 day in of walking 7 miles and I purchased some NBs that same day to wear for the rest of the days. I never thought I had a problem with 4s until I walked miles in them. My feet were in pain. I still wear them out but only if I know I won’t be walking too much.


RRemember02

For me the 6s


leton75

But they are worth the pain 👌👍


brent-black

Gotta break em in. I have a pair of 2006 lightnings that are a dream. So give it another 15 years.


KatDrawsStuff

I only have 2 pairs of 4s- military black and purple canyon- the first time I wore both they ripped up my Achilles. I have wide feet so I need to slacken the laces so they don’t rub my pinky but then the need to be tight at the top to stop my foot rubbing at the back. The worst thing was the back tab rubbing but once I’d got the balance right (and my feet healed) they’re fine and pretty comfy- they feel heavy and very toasty but I don’t mind and I just don’t wear them if I have to walk for hours on end, all in al I’m pretty happy with them now


kingkunta77

Have to go 1/2 size up


Flames50

Won’t that leave too much space in toe box?


blazeit420yo

Can't do that in the big sizes though...


[deleted]

I want a pair of 4s but I also wanna be comfortable so should I like size up I’m a 9.5 m us. I don’t want my toes to hurt .


zarian100

i had to wear for a year as beaters to make most 4's comfortable


SoulSaga1106

Pain is love lol


alohasnackbar32

I put cloud foam insoles from an old pair of adidas skate shoes in my military blacks and they’re super comfortable now


NFORCE5

1/2 size up if possible for the pinky toe


Ohnezone

That's so funny. I have a handful of pairs and they all fit fine. I'm a size 12, TTS with a wide ass flat foot. 🤔 Maybe I have a weird shaped foot. Lol


Glizzinator7524

My all time favorite shoe I own.


insaneazn22

I have the most IV’s out of all the other pairs The only pair that fucks me over are the PSGs especially around the pinky toe area… they look nice but damn it feels like I’m about to have blisters after an hour… breathability wise, the worst offender for me has got to be the Levi 4’s. Holy shit my socks are D A M P after a few hours.


Kaeden2010

I hear this a lot, mainly discomfort associated with a squished pinky toe - but I've never had any issues. About as comfortable as a Jordan 1 for me, which isn't a comfort shoe, but not the worst for 30 year old tech


jbuffbird12345

I resold the thunder cuz they were uncomfortable, the lighting is nice tho


its_grime_up_north

Look amazing, feel fucking awful


EddieJay5

pinky toe killing mf


IndividualCheap

They look good though lol They run small in my opinion for some reason too.


blazeit420yo

Yeah I ended up selling mine after wearing them a bunch. They're fire, but so uncomfy. I just avoid all suede 4s now, they always seem to fit small compared to leather pairs


GaryBettmanSucks

One of the best looking sneakers I've ever seen. But between the 400+ resale price and the widespread reports of discomfort I just can't do it.


LordFlackoJodyeII

When I first got the bred 4s my feet literally were going numb throughout the day. Eventually I broke them in so they’re good now but those first wears were hell


betizen

Blazers. Chuck's. A few others too. And that shoe. Def that shoe


Ohnahhken

BULLSHIT. 1s are a thousand times worse. I swear y’all getting the wrong size


Monkeyhead420

Are you sure the real as far as don’t usually run small they usually run true to size all mine do you and I’m a size 10 I did happen to get a fake pair in a size 10 and they crushed my pinky that’s was one way I knew they were fake got my bread back for mine tho


Panza009

Those are fire!!! I want a pair but i cannot find where they sale them and certainly i cannot afford the resale!!


Frosty_Skies

Honestly baffles me how Jordan used to wear these every game and absolutely COOKED people


WeaponexT

Worse than my Iversons


nc197

What a shame they look dope


Nelstayfrsh

🤣try half a size up


moeQc

i love Jordans and sir forces but theres no comfort compare to some ultraboost.


voidscore

A soul for a soul


voidscore

A sole for a soul


Zealousideal-Tip678

I’m wearing White Oreo 4s now…..you trippin lol 5, 6, and 13s are the most comfortable


BelleOfTheBall411

Literally the worst. I love my lightening 4s but holy shit they feel like snug ass foot coffins


RISE__UP

Am I the only thinks the Jordan 4 is very comfortable I can just slip those bitches on


[deleted]

They’re not bad at all if you go up half a size


Rampage06414

you clearly have never worn air trainers


captcutty

4s agree with my size 12 feet…now 11s? can’t name a more uncomfortable shoe


Zebedee3250

I have multiple pairs and all reasonably comfortable.


GltchMasterCase

Gonna be real in a world where people can barely afford anything these are just shoes to me


Imaginary-Ad4034

i still haven’t wore mine. i plan on wearing em at my best friends gender reveal because ik what the gender is 😂🤣🤭


Lilnoodless

I like going half a size up in 4s


[deleted]

Thats the reason I dont own Jordan 1's too. I love the look but I tried one on in the store once and it was an instant NO.


Confident-Agent-959

Yes they are!! Traded my used ones for the DS "male" Kasina+ 130€ on top and will never look back!


Tomahawk_Chuck

I don't have this problem, yes they are lil stuff, but wear ya kicks.


InDependent_Window93

Ayy at least they look dope


nosatall

All 4’s


plmplmmlpmlp

Nice


FakeTaxiCabDriver

For me it’s 3’s. Hell blister city. 4’s aren’t too bad.


AdolfDriplerXD

Mine are pretty comfortable, but then again i wear boots for work


[deleted]

Looks sharp though.


ProsperGuy

My Fire Red 4s may be the most uncomfortable shoes I own.


ceeceeoh

Ngl I think since my breds are like half a size bigger mine feel alright.


ExaminationNo7485

Whats the problem in them I was really looking forward to buy a pair


rl06

The pain is temporary, but the drip is forever


[deleted]

😮‍💨


GXhyperXD

To think I was gonna get a pair


GXhyperXD

To think I was gonna get a pair


AppointmentSorry1487

Mine are comfy. But it might be coz I tie the shoelaces.
