yeah i agree the xx8 feels like part of your foot all the way to the top..these felt like braces..i felt how high the 9's were.. the xx8 you forget how high they are i guess..
i played in the 9's this morning..traction was good..comfort was good..but they did feel a little clunky..alot heavier then the 8 but i guess that is to be expected..i like the highs but they wont be my go to shoe..if i was gonna play in a high like this i will stay with the xx8..something about...
