You're right! I'm wearing them now and it looks like the heel translucent strap secures the heel/ankle, but it doesn't start from the heel of the midsole so it seems to push my foot a little forward than regular shoes.
The toe box is definitely still small, but I can see how some people can...
THEY ARE SO RETRO AND COOL!
But wow, they definitely don't fit true to size. I never listen to people about sizing, but I really had to go a full size up on them. My first size 10.5 lol.
It's not just the bootie that makes it fit tight, the toe box is really small. Not narrow, just small. Half...
I only see Footlocker, Footaction, Champs, and Finishline for $20. I can't find the $25 birthday coupon for Finishline anywhere. Am I the only one who can't find it?
I have a feeling other than us, Scream Green's aren't going to be popular with the general public and new generation of sneakerheads. I'm going to take a chance and wait for them to go on sale.

I've always wanted a pair of Huarache! I'm glad we're getting Scream Greens first. Hopefully we'll get other colors like Purple Punch and Blue Emerald.
We finally get the Huarache Scream Greens : )
If they're at Footlocker, Footaction, Finishline, and EastBay, I'm sure it'll be a general release and other smaller shoe stores will get them. I'm not worried. I hope we get Purple Punch and Blue Emerald too.
I finally found Puma R698 "Sahara" for a good price ($110 shipped). Outside of the people here in the NT Puma thread, they're not very popular. Resellers are having a hard time making a profit on them.
I'm glad I went true to size. Most people said I should size down 0.5 because of the extra...
I just realized how much bookmarks on Yelp I get from you guys/this thread. Repped all of you! Keep it coming : )
Oh, there's a Boiling Point in Gardena but definitely not a fan. Sorry guys : (
I think the design and concept is really cool, but that midsole kills the shoes for me. It's too thick/high in my opinion. They look like Nike Roshe.
Repped for providing high quality pics though. Thanks.
