If you double sock or use some elite socks you wont blister. I had a bad prob blistering until i doubled up on my socks
I realize everyone is different though.
As for the loosening up the bottom lace holes as mentioned above, I take the laces completely out before I wear each shoe (even while just trying them on) and make sure that my feet feel okay first.
Even without laces in them, my mid-foot was being squished.
just my experience.....nice looking cw's though.
From what I've experienced these break in well. At first they were a bit uncomfortable with just one pair of elites and snug as hell but they've loosened up quite a bit. I was able to go to double socking and haven't had any problems since. As long as you arent tieing them too tight which is easy to do, especially in the first couple eyelets. I didn't size up from the VIs and I have wide feet.
Oh and now that I've broken in the play fast insole, these are butter, good bye to the play strongs. Waiting on the elites, looks to have a bit thicker padding on the tongue which is definately lacking in the normal version.
Don't knock the shoe til you break it in, walking around casually isn't going to do it.
Edit:
DFABIX - it sounds like you may need to size up, do you atleast leave a little room in the toes when sizing?
but it does break in nicely. i couldve went my true size, but i had to go half size up, cause i had no choice lol. but usually i dont mind cause i have a wide feet, but if i did get my true size (which i did end up with the cloaks) its fine either way.
i was knocking the shoe too when i first wore it, but its good after a few wears imo.
